DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.fest Domain Names

Prelaunch

The.fest extension is a proposed new generic top-level domain connected with festivals, live events and seasonal celebrations. Publicly announced information identifies Name Space LLC as the applicant associated with.fest. ICANN says new gTLD application details are published on Reveal Day after administrative checks, so this string should be treated as prelaunch until that stage is reached and any later outcomes are confirmed.
