DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.collective Domain Names

Prelaunch / not delegated

The .collective extension suggests shared purpose, membership and group identity. Publicly announced information identifies Link Freedom Group as the applicant associated with .collective, while the string is not shown in the IANA root zone, so it should be treated as a proposed gTLD rather than a live one.

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