What Is the History of .site?
The .site domain was delegated to DotSite Inc. on March 12, 2015, following approval under ICANN’s new gTLD program. After a private auction in November 2014, Radix (DotSite) became the sole applicant. In 2021, operations were transferred to Radix FZC, and in February 2024, management shifted to Radix Technologies Inc. SEZC. The TLD faced delays due to name collision concerns identified by ICANN in 2013 but was ultimately approved for public use.
