.amsterdam is a top-level domain in the city of Amsterdam. ICANN gave the City of Amsterdam permission to operate the domain on 24 July 2014[3] as a part of its new gTLD programme. The public has been able to register .amsterdam web addresses since September 2015.[4] Usage of the TLD has been very limited and its introduction has been criticised for its lack of cost-effectiveness.[2] In 2019, the number of domains registered under the TLD decreased by 9.1%.[5] Registration Data Access Protocol was enabled for .amsterdam domains in July 2019.[6]
