DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE
.fab Domain Names
Pending ICANN processThe.fab string appears in the 2026 new gTLD application round and is publicly associated with more than one claimant, so it should be treated as a proposed extension rather than an active live namespace. ICANNβs 2026 Round opened on 30 April 2026 and closed on 12 August 2026; the programme states that final totals are confirmed only after evaluation fees are received. (icann.org)
