DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.add Domain Names

Application published; not yet delegated

The .add extension is a proposed new generic top-level domain associated with the idea of adding, expanding or enhancing something. Publicly announced information identifies Link Freedom Group as the applicant associated with .add, and ICANN 2026 Round materials confirm that applications were accepted in the recent new gTLD window. As of the latest public sources checked, .add does not appear in the IANA Root Zone Database, so it is not yet delegated in the DNS root.

.add registrations are not available yet. Search related extensions or get a launch alert.
