The name .world was one that Donuts had to contest. In the 2012 round organised by ICANN, two companies submitted applications: Donuts via Bitter Fields, LLC, and Radix via DotWorld Inc. The dispute was settled at a private auction arranged by Applicant Auction in April 2014, with Donuts emerging as the winner and Radix withdrawing its application (ICANNWiki).
The auction was part of a larger spending spree. Donuts took part in over 150 contention sets, in each of which two or more applicants wanted the same name, and it chose to resolve these through private auctions rather than having ICANN conduct its own auctions as a last resort. In June 2014 Paul Stahura, the company's chief executive, stated that the company had spent $50 million on private auctions and had won about half of the ones it entered.
Donuts entered into the .world registry agreement with ICANN in June 2014, and the extension was included in the root zone in September. Registration is available to anyone. Together with most of the former Donuts extensions, .world is now managed by Binky Moon, LLC, which is part of Identity Digital.
