(Sponsored) — With trust and credibility more critical than ever online, a new opportunity is emerging at the intersection of digital identity and medical authority: the .med domain extension (TLD.)
Medistry LLC, the registry operator behind .med domain names, has launched a broad market push to on-board doctors, hospitals, researchers, and medical-focused enterprises to its secure, premium namespace.
Currently in pre-registration through the end of August, the .med TLD officially opens for registration on September 2, 2025.
What sets .med apart is its goal to create a higher barrier digital space where reputable actors in the medical sector can clearly stand out for consumer engagement.
As stated by industry periodical Pharmaphorum in its Solution Spotlight, “By requiring a trusted name space, domains in .med provide a value-driven barrier to entry wherein users can come to find trusted sources for medical related information”, raising the bar.
Early .med adopters include major names such as Abbott, CVS, Bayer, Stanford, Teva, and Mayo Clinic, as well as keyword-rich domains like Spa.med, Therapy.med, and Bio.med, which are already pre-registered.
Nearly 15,000 domains were pre-registered in May alone, signaling strong early demand.
Currently, 101domain and EnCirca are among the first Registrars to on-board and actively support .med domain registrations. Many others strong in KYC serving enterprise and brand clients have also on-boarded. All customers of .med accredited registrars are provided the opportunity to register .med domains.
For Registrars: A short window with a strong incentive:
This market momentum is paired with a compelling offer for Registrars: a 50% Registry rebate on the first-year registration fee for all .med domains, including the ones that are marked as premium.
Registrars must complete on-boarding by September 2 to qualify for the rebate. Miss that date and the rebate window closes!
As a premium TLD, .med domains cost comparatively more than industry average. The registry rebate serves to reduce cost for new customers and provide registrars a valuable margin incentive during the initial adoption wave.
Why Registrars should pay attention to .med:
With .med entering General Availability backed by clear market demand, a solid brand proposition and strong early institutional adoption, it represents a TLD with both a mission and strong monetization potential.
For Registrars, on-boarding before the September 2 deadline means joining a premium, medical-focused namespace just as its public rollout begins, along with the rebate incentive.
