The mission of .DINE is to create a distinctive namespace for restaurants, hospitality businesses, culinary professionals, food communities, and others connected by the experience of dining. As a familiar and action-oriented word, "dine" provides an intuitive digital identity for discovering places to eat, exploring food and hospitality, planning dining experiences, and connecting people with the businesses and communities that serve them.

When will .dine be available?
ICANN has not set a date. The final list of applied-for strings comes on String Confirmation Day (November 17, 2026), community input and objections run until March 16, 2027, and ICANN processes applications after a prioritization draw in 2027. Registration opens only after ICANN delegates .dine and its registry announces launch dates.
