.lease domains list

What is .lease TLD

.lease is a generic top-level domain focused on leasing, renting, and subscription-based access to assets and services. We classify .lease domains across sectors such as commercial property, automotive, equipment finance, and technology, where descriptive naming aids discovery and trust. At present, we observe 2,136 active .lease domains in our corpus, with 1,566 live .lease websites and 1,566 configured with DNS records, spanning 33 countries. Usage ranges from corporate primary sites to campaign microsites and marketplace listings, reflecting a pragmatic, intent-led namespace. Our indexing highlights consistent resolution quality and modest growth relative to similarly sized finance and real-estate TLDs. Download webatla’s .lease datasets to analyze this namespace.

History and key features of .lease TLD

The .lease TLD emerged from ICANN’s new gTLD expansion in the 2010s, designed to signal leasing activity in domain names themselves. Key features we track include semantic relevance, generally open registration policies, and competitive availability for descriptive labels. Adoption remains steady rather than explosive: 10 new registrations last week and 15 in December 2025 indicate sustained, niche demand. Operationally, 1,566 of 2,136 records resolve via DNS, supporting a significant share of active .lease websites alongside parked assets. In comparative studies, .lease domains frequently concentrate in B2B services and regional real-estate markets, with lower cybersquatting incidence than brand-led strings.

Why and who choose the .lease domain

Organizations adopt .lease domains when clarity around renting, financing, or subscription access is commercially material. Typical registrants include property managers, auto dealers, equipment lessors, fleet operators, and SaaS vendors offering usage-based models. Cross-border usage is meaningful: we record activity in 33 countries, with 1,566 operational .lease websites suggesting build-out beyond defensive holdings. Naming strategies favor locality and inventory descriptors (e.g., city, asset class) for direct-intent queries, while portfolios often pair .lease with legacy TLDs to segment audiences. For due diligence, we assess renewal behavior, host diversity, and content depth to distinguish durable deployments from experiments across .lease domains.
