It appears that OpenAI has acquired the GPT.com domain name. If you visit GPT.com, you will be forwarded to ChatGPT.com. OpenAI previously acquired Chat.com last year, and that domain name also forwards to the ChatGPT website. GPT is an acronym for Generative Pre-trained Transformer.
GPT.com is now registered to DNStination Inc. at corporate domain registrar, MarkMonitor. DNStination is the MarkMonitor Whois privacy service. This means I can’t conclusively say the domain name is owned by OpenAI, but it would be peculiar for a MarkMonitor client to acquire a domain name like this and forward it to another company’s website. Both Chat.com and OpenAI.com are also registered at MarkMonitor, but neither of those domain names use Whois privacy.
Prior to the transfer to MarkMonitor, GPT.com was registered under privacy at Network Solutions. The domain name appears to have transferred to MarkMonitor in late 2025.
I received an alert email from DomainIQ last night following a nameserver change. This means GPT.com recently began forwarding to the ChatGPT website. Archive.org shows GPT.com had been forwarding to GPTA.com.au, the website for an Australian company called Global Payment Technologies Australia Pty Ltd.
