Why own a .MOE Domain Name
The domain for celebrating Otaku culture. "Moe" (pronounced as “moh-ay”) is a slang word rooted deep in the Japanese Otaku culture, meaning a particular type of “adorable” or “cute” towards fictional characters, people, animals, anything. Going beyond Otaku, it can also be used to express a deep feeling or passion for something you love — similar to how others would use the word "geek." Find your .MOE today!
A Little History about .MOE
"Moe" is derived from a Japanese word, moeru, that is somewhat synonymous with both geek and passion. It derives from a sub-culture of Japan, called Otaku, which is a term used for people who are obsessed with something, especially in terms of anime and manga. Moeru means "to bud" or "to sprout" and is best described as a feeling of excitement towards an object or character. Moe has often been used to describe “adorable” or “cute” characteristics of fictional or fantasy characters. From this, the .MOE domain name was created and released to the public on July 22nd 2014. This Generic (though adorable!) Top-Level Domain (gTLD) can be registered by anyone without restriction. Neustar is the backend registry and Interlink is the main registry for the .MOE domain name.
