.name Termination

Verisign proposed on 15 April 2026 to destroy the entire third level of the .name domain to simplify administration, and ICANN approved the move on 28 July 2026. The author states that his site neil.fraser.name, his email, and connected services would vanish in February despite registrations lasting until 2040. He warns that vacant second-level domains could be claimed by others, potentially enabling account and IoT-device hijacking linked to that address.
