DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.ghost Domain Names

Application disclosed; not delegated

The.ghost string is a proposed new gTLD with publicly disclosed application information linked to Oinkadot. ICANN’s programme status pages distinguish applied-for strings from delegated strings, and delegation only occurs once a TLD is introduced into the root zone. Based on the publicly claimed application information,.ghost is best understood as a prelaunch string with a distinct, theme-led identity rather than an established live extension.
