About Marsh63

Marsh63 is a free, systematically maintained register of web domains. At the time of writing it holds 832 accessions filed across 22 named record groups. The format is drawn from archival practice: an entry is a record, not a recommendation. Each domain in the register is documented with a title, a descriptive gloss, and a categorical assignment — nothing more is claimed.

The register is open: anyone may browse any section without registering, creating an account, or stating a purpose. The finding aids on each section page display the accessions within that group in sequence. The home page presents a compact view of recently filed entries alongside the 22 section headings.

Submissions are equally open. To file an accession, supply a domain name, select the appropriate record group from the 22 available, and submit. Title and gloss are optional — if left blank, the register fetches a descriptive gloss directly from the submitted domain. There is no review queue and no fee; entries are filed as received.

Marsh63 does not rank, endorse, or recommend any listed domain. Inclusion in the register is a factual record of the domain's existence and stated activity, not a statement about its quality, legality, or suitability for any purpose. Users consulting the register for commercial or professional decisions should conduct their own independent verification of any listed operator.

The register takes its name from internal administrative notation. The 22 record groups correspond to the principal areas of online business and information activity that appear in submission data; the boundaries are practical rather than taxonomic, and edge cases are accommodated in the Miscellaneous & Unclassified Holdings section.
