DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.droid Domain Names

Application disclosed; not yet delegated

The.droid string is a proposed brand and technology-focused top-level domain. Publicly announced information identifies Starlight Registry (Namecheap) as the applicant associated with.droid, and the ICANN 2026 round materials confirm that applied-for strings from that round are to be published after the application window closes. As of now,.droid should be treated as a proposed string rather than an active registry extension. (icann.org)
