.hospital

.hospital is a generic top-level domain with a highly specific healthcare meaning. It can make a website's connection to hospitals, hospital services or hospital-related information immediately apparent.

The extension can suit hospitals, healthcare groups, directories, patient-information projects, software and services built specifically for hospital environments. A location or organization name before .hospital can create a clear institutional address.

The TLD is not a healthcare accreditation system. ICANN lists .hospital under a standard non-sponsored Registry Agreement, so registering a name does not prove that the operator is a licensed hospital, accredited medical facility or authorized healthcare provider.

Because medical decisions can carry serious consequences, users should verify the organization, clinicians and services through appropriate regulatory and professional sources.

VYR classifies .hospital as open from a registration-eligibility perspective, subject to registry and ICANN policies and third-party rights.
