The mission of .VPN is to provide a namespace associated with the concept of vpn as a virtual private network. The .VPN gTLD is intended to serve a broad range of registrants and users, including individuals, businesses, organizations, communities, projects, and other entities that identify with, relate to, or wish to be associated with the concept represented by the applied-for string.
The purpose of .VPN is to enable registrants to establish online identities using domain names that correspond to this concept. To achieve this purpose, Agador Slip, LLC will make .VPN available for registration through registrars and other appropriate distribution channels; maintain a secure, stable, and reliable registry infrastructure; implement registration and operational policies that support the availability, security, and integrity of the namespace; and provide ongoing administration of the gTLD to enable registrants to register and use domain names within the namespace.
The purpose of .VPN is sustainable over time because virtual private networks will continue to play a fundamental and enduring role in secure digital communications and network access. As society and technology evolve, organizations and individuals will continue to establish online identities associated with the applied-for string.
The mission and purpose of .vpn is to give individuals, businesses, ISPs, and VPN providers an open, generic namespace for setting up and operating virtual private network services. As an unrestricted gTLD, .vpn is available to anyone — from established VPN providers to individuals and small businesses standing up their own private or self-hosted VPN — rather than being limited to a single company or brand, signaling a clear, purpose-built identity for any VPN endpoint or service regardless of who operates it.
The applicant will drive adoption of .vpn through public relations outreach to technology and networking media, direct marketing to VPN providers, IT departments, and individuals interested in self-hosted or personal VPN setups, partnership development with VPN software providers and hosting companies to secure anchor registrants, and coordinated promotion through the registrar channel to extend distribution and drive registration volume.
This purpose is sustainable over time because the need for private, secure network connections is tied to persistent concerns over data privacy, security, and access control. .vpn allows individuals and businesses of all sizes to setup and manage their own virtual private network using a short and memorable domain name.
