.hot domains list

What is .hot TLD

The .hot top-level domain is a generic namespace designed for content framed around heat, trend, or immediacy; we use it to track how signals propagate across the open web. In our current crawl, we observe 846 active .hot domains, of which 712 resolve as live .hot websites and 712 present DNS records, spanning 17 countries. This ratio suggests a relatively high operationalization rate compared with many low-usage strings, indicating that registrants predominantly activate rather than park. We analyse DNS, web stack fingerprints, and hosting geographies to profile adoption and resilience over time. For decision-makers evaluating portfolio coverage or competitive monitoring, these counts supply a baseline for risk and opportunity assessment. Download .hot domain datasets from webatla.

History and key features of .hot TLD

Introduced through ICANN’s new gTLD expansion, .hot has experienced measured growth rather than explosive spikes; its compact string aids memorability while the semantics signal timeliness. Over the last observation window, we detected 10 new .hot domains, and registrations totaled 104 in December 2025 in the prior month, evidencing steady registration churn. Activation remains high: 712 domains advertise DNS, and 712 operate as .hot websites, narrowing the gap between registrations and active use. We track hosting concentration, CMS footprints, and redirection behaviour to surface risks such as parking clusters and brand-protection blocks. For researchers and registries, these indicators explain adoption velocity and market niches across the TLD. Download longitudinal .hot datasets from webatla.

Why and who choose the .hot domain

Organizations selecting .hot seek names that communicate recency, intensity, or seasonal relevance, from “hot deals” retail to nightlife, entertainment, food trends, and thermal products. We see usage diversify across 17 countries, with a practical balance between brand campaigns and operational sites: 712 active .hot websites versus 846 registered .hot domains. Recent flows – 10 additions last week and 104 in December 2025 – indicate ongoing experimentation alongside defensive holdings. We evaluate registrant types, content categories, and traffic-facing configurations to distinguish live marketing assets from placeholders and redirects. This segmentation helps marketers, security teams, and investors quantify exposure and opportunities within the namespace. Download segmentation-ready .hot datasets from webatla.
