LET’S BE ADULT ABOUT IT An introduction to the progressive new home of adult entertainment online.

What is.XXX and what is an sTLD?.XXX is a sponsored top level domain (sTLD) designed to serve the needs of its registrants, those members of the Adult Entertainment Industry who believe a system of self identification is beneficial and who wish to work with other stakeholders on credible self regulation. An sTLD is different than a gTLD in that ICANN devolves some of the policy making to the Registry Operator, in this case ICM and in due course ICM shares some of this responsibility with IFFOR, the International Foundation For Online Responsibility. Such authority includes price, eligibility criteria, & allocation methods. IFFOR is a non profit foundation based in Washington DC.
