.sbs is one of ShortDot SA's gTLDs.[1] It was first delegated in 2015 as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program.
History of Ownership
On November 7, 2014, Special Broadcasting Service Corporation registered the .sbs TLD with ICANN, for private use. The company's application to ICANN succeeded and the extension was delegated to the Root Zone 29 October 2015. [2][3]
On April 22, 2020, Special Broadcasting Service Corporation sent ICANN an intent to terminate the .sbs TLD. On June 12, 2020, ICANN made a preliminary determination that the .sbs TLD would not be handed over to a new operator. On July 12, 2020, ICANN finalized the decision and terminated the .sbs TLD.
On May 6, 2021, the domain registry ShortDot announced that it had acquired the .sbs TLD and was launching it as a gTLD, with registrations available immediately for trademark holders. In June 2021, the .sbs domain went into general availability.[4]
ShortDot Ownership
Since mid-2021, .sbs has been under ShortDot SA's ownership. The registry markets .sbs as being short for "side by side" and present it as an option for social welfare, progressive, and/or virtual-oriented organizations, corporates, businesses, entrepreneurs, and professionals interested in doing well for themselves and the community.[5]
Special Broadcasting Service Ownership
Under SBS's ownership, .sbs operated as a restricted registry for the corporation to promote its brand identity.
