.post Office
.post is a generic top-level domain (gTLD). It was introduced on August 7, 2012 as the last ending of the second round of generic addresses. For the administrative operation is the Universal Postal Union ( Universal Postal Union , UPU) based in Bern responsible.
The basis for the introduction of .post was an agreement between UPU and ICANN , which was signed on December 11, 2009 by representatives of both organizations. Originally, .post was supposed to be launched in 2007, but the domain was postponed several times due to differences between the UPU and ICANN.
Post domains can only be assigned to members of the association , which is why the top-level domain is practically irrelevant. The first .post domain was assigned to the Italian company Poste Italiane in October 2012 .
