.trade

.trade is a generic top-level domain with a broad commercial meaning. It can refer to buying and selling goods, international trade, professional trades or trading in financial markets.

The extension can suit import-export businesses, B2B marketplaces, industry associations, trade publications, suppliers and trading platforms. The second-level name is important because “trade” can describe very different activities.

A .trade domain does not establish that a broker, marketplace or financial service is regulated or licensed. It also does not prove membership in a trade association.

The broad meaning offers flexibility but can create ambiguity if the brand does not make the industry clear.

.trade is an open generic top-level domain. Standard registrations are generally available through participating registrars, subject to registry and ICANN policies, reserved names, premium classifications and third-party rights.
