What Is the History of .army?
The .army TLD was applied for by United TLD Holdco, Ltd. (later acquired by Demand Media / Rightside) and delegated to the DNS root zone on June 4, 2014. It faced early warnings from the governments of the United States, Australia, and India due to concerns over confusion with official military entities. The Independent Objector initially raised objections but later withdrew them after the applicant committed to robust abuse mitigation measures, including Domain Protected Marks List (DPML), strict terms of use, and blocking of government trademarks. In 2021, management of .army was transferred to Dog Beach, LLC, operating through Identity Digital.
