Unlike .xxx, which operates under a sponsored model with strict policies, .porn allows broader registration without requiring participation in a third-party regulatory body.
Open for registration by anyone; no geographic, residency, or industry restrictions apply.

The .porn domain was approved under ICANN’s new gTLD expansion program. Its application was reviewed and supported by the Independent Objector, who concluded that objections based on moral or cultural grounds were not grounded in international law. It was delegated to the root zone on December 3, 2014. ICM Registry, already operating the .xxx TLD, applied for .porn to provide an alternative for adult industry participants who preferred fewer regulatory requirements than those enforced by the .xxx sponsoring organization, IFFOR. General availability began on June 4, 2015, with over 4,000 registrations in the first hour.
