.ceramic Domain Names
Applied-for, not delegatedThe .ceramic domain is a strong, material-led string for brands, makers and communities connected with ceramics, pottery, tile, design and fired clay products. Publicly announced information identifies Journey To The West Corporation as the applicant associated with .ceramic, and the string is part of the 2026 round new gTLD application programme. As with all applied-for strings, it is not yet a delegated root-zone domain and cannot be treated as live until delegation is confirmed.
