.blog is a new gTLD launched in 2016, initially operated by Knock Knock WHOIS There, LLC (a PMC subsidiary) and later acquired by GMO Internet. It is used by personal bloggers, niche content sites, corporate blogs, news platforms and any entity whose primary content type is blog-format writing. The TLD immediately communicates the nature of the site to visitors.
