What is .tech?
ICANN's records put the delegation of .tech on March 21, 2015. Like most of the newer endings, it was applied for in the 2012 New gTLD Program round and its registry agreement was signed on January 30, 2015.
Radix Technologies Inc SEZC also runs 9 other TLDs, including .fun, .host, .online, .press and .site.
Under the hood, the root zone points to 4 name servers for .tech, every one of them reachable over IPv6. The delegation is DNSSEC-signed, so resolvers can verify that answers for .tech haven't been tampered with on the way. Registration data is published over RDAP and WHOIS (the WHOIS server is whois.nic.tech).
