.dad

.dad is a generic top-level domain centered on fathers, fatherhood and content related to dads or father figures. Its three-letter form makes it short and highly recognizable.

The extension can suit personal blogs, family pages, parenting resources, gifts, humor, communities and businesses with a father-focused audience. Google Registry explicitly presents .dad not only for dads themselves but also for people creating content that celebrates father figures, so registration should not be interpreted as a personal-identity credential.

.dad is included in the HSTS preload list. HTTPS is required for all website connections, and a valid certificate must be configured before a .dad site will load normally in modern browsers.

The domain does not verify parenthood, professional parenting expertise or endorsement by a family organization.

VYR classifies .dad as open, subject to Google Registry and ICANN policies, reserved names and third-party rights.
