DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.con Domain Names

Prelaunch string

The.con string is a proposed generic top-level domain name that appears in public applicant materials associated with Link Freedom Group. The string is not listed in the IANA root zone database, so it should be treated as not delegated at this time. ICANN’s current new gTLD process also evaluates applied-for strings for similarity to existing and other applied-for names before further progression.
