About .cloud
.cloud is a generic top-level domain. IANA lists its registry operator as Aruba PEC S.p.A., a company based in Ponte San Pietro, Italy, and records its addition to the root zone database on June 18, 2015. The registry promotes the extension to cloud, SaaS and technology businesses, startups, developers and creative professionals.
The .cloud registration policy places no eligibility restrictions on applicants outside the launch-phase sunrise period, so anyone may apply. Names are registered for one to ten years. The registry has reserved certain names and may allocate some of them through requests for proposal, auctions or other mechanisms. Some names may carry different fees from standard names, and a name's renewal fee may rise above the renewal rate in effect when it was first registered.
