Questions before you register or transfer a .REST?

Review Punto 2012 registry management, restaurant naming fit, direct registration, DNS, transfer, renewal, multi-location planning, bulk search, and reseller workflows before registering .REST.

What is a .REST domain and who operates it?

.REST is a generic top-level domain operated by Punto 2012 S.A.P.I. de C.V. It is positioned for restaurants, dining, hospitality, food discovery, and related services.

Who can register a .REST domain?

.REST is generally available to individuals, businesses, chefs, restaurants, hospitality groups, platforms, and organizations worldwide, subject to availability and applicable registry and registrar policies.

Does .REST only fit traditional restaurants?

No. It can also fit delivery services, cloud kitchens, reservation software, food guides, culinary media, chefs, catering, hospitality groups, and dining events.

How should a restaurant choose a .REST name?

Prioritize the venue or group name, cuisine, location, or a clear booking and dining phrase. Avoid wording that may confuse customers with another business or protected brand.

What DNS records are useful for a .REST website?

Configure valid nameservers, website records, email records, and any reservation, ordering, or verification records required by third-party platforms. DNSSEC may be added when supported.

Can I transfer a .REST domain to NiceNIC?

Yes, when the domain is eligible under standard gTLD transfer rules. Unlock it, obtain the authorization code, and use the NiceNIC transfer page.

How should restaurant groups plan .REST renewals?

Keep all venue domains in a renewal calendar, maintain sufficient account balance, and renew before expiration so menus, bookings, and customer email remain available.

Can I search multiple restaurant or location names at once?

Yes. Use the availability search for one name or prepare a larger restaurant, city, and concept list in the bulk registration section.

Can agencies automate .REST registrations for clients?

NiceNIC provides reseller API services for supported registration, renewal, DNS, transfer, and portfolio management operations.

Secure the .REST name before someone else does.

Register a new .REST, transfer an existing domain, or upgrade your account level for bulk registration and reseller API use.
