What Is the History of .loan?
The .loan TLD was delegated to dot Loan Limited on March 25, 2015, as part of ICANN’s New gTLD Program. The application was submitted by Famous Four Media, operating as dot Loan Limited, with the goal of creating a secure, specialized space for loan-related services. An early warning was issued by Australia’s GAC due to concerns about consumer protection in a regulated financial market, but the domain was ultimately approved. The registry uses GoDaddy Registry for technical infrastructure and operates under a first-come, first-served registration model.
