.soy

.soy is a generic top-level domain with two useful meanings. In Spanish, “soy” means “I am”, while in English it is the common word for soybeans and soy-based products.

That makes the extension unusually flexible. Spanish-language personal brands can use it as part of an identity phrase, while food, agriculture and plant-based product businesses can use the English meaning.

The second-level name is especially important because visitors from different language backgrounds may interpret the domain in completely different ways.

ICANN lists .soy under a Base / Non-Sponsored Registry Agreement operated by Charleston Road Registry, Google's registry company. Standard registration is not limited by a profession, nationality or agricultural qualification.

VYR classifies .soy as open. A .soy domain does not certify product origin, organic status or identity claims, and normal registry, trademark and consumer rules still apply.
