DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.guzheng Domain Names

Prelaunch application stage

Publicly announced information identifies Journey To The West Corporation as the applicant associated with.guzheng. ICANN’s 2026 new gTLD programme had closed applications and was preparing to publish the applied-for strings on Reveal Day, so.guzheng should be treated as a prelaunch extension rather than a delegated one.
