Run by China-based .top Registry and one of the largest new extensions by volume. Its low price makes it a regular in abuse statistics, so for a .top name the registration date and the hosting reputation on the result page are especially worth a look.

Look it up live: nic.top

The result page shows the registry's RDAP record: registrar and IANA id, abuse contact, dates, explained EPP status codes, nameservers and DNSSEC. Since ICANN retired the classic WHOIS requirement at the start of 2025, RDAP is the authoritative source for .top; an individual registrant's personal details are usually redacted.

Next to the registration data you get live DNS, SPF/DMARC, the TLS certificate, the HTTPS response and the abuse history of the hosting addresses on ip-db.com. Type just a name (e.g. example) and .top is added; the same data is available from the JSON API.
