DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.demo Domain Names

Proposed string; not delegated

The.demo string appears in the 2026 New gTLD round public disclosure materials as an applied-for string associated with Link Freedom Group. It is not delegated in the root zone at the time of writing, so it should be treated as a proposed extension rather than a live domain space. Publicly announced information identifies the organisation as the applicant associated with.demo. (icann.org)
