.review Domain Names
38 registrars compared — cheapest from $10.18 at Cloudflare
Delegated in early 2015, .review arrived in the second wave of new gTLDs as an obvious play for one of the internet's most universal verbs — yet it remains an oddly quiet corner of the domain world.

A Name That Says Everything, So Far Used by Few
The .review extension was delegated on February 5, 2015 under the 2012 new gTLD program, run by dot Review Limited. Its registry URL and WHOIS server both live at nic.review, a holder address that itself leans into the namespace. The word 'review' carries instant meaning — product tests, restaurant critiques, hotel ratings — yet years after launch, the TLD hasn't become a household name. Few registrars list it (38 total), and demand remains niche, making it a speculative bet on a keyword that already has plenty of homes elsewhere.
The Budget Shelf of the New gTLD Boom
Pricing tells part of the story. With a wide spread, .review sits in the budget tier — cheapest at [Cloudflare](Cloudflare) for roughly $10.18, though renewal rates can climb. That low entry cost tempts hobbyists and small businesses, but the premium names that anchor a serious namespace haven't materialized. Compare it to neighbors like .band, .business, or .coach, which each court a specific audience. .review has the broadest possible pitch — every business wants good reviews — yet its low adoption suggests the word works better as a subdomain than as a standalone extension.
What the Quiet Market Says About Domain Semantics
The underperformance of .review is a case study in how new gTLDs succeed or stall. A name that is too generic can be a weakness: 'review' has no default owner. Who should claim it — Yelp, Amazon, a government agency? Without a single dominant use case, the TLD fragments. .cafe and .church work because their audiences are self-selecting; .review's audience is everyone, which means no one feels compelled to move. The delegation round itself, run by ICANN, promised diversity, but .review shows that a clear dictionary word isn't enough — context and community matter more.
