DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.hello Domain Names

Application disclosed; not delegated

.hello is a proposed generic top-level domain based on the everyday greeting “hello”. Publicly announced information identifies more than one claimant associated with the string, so it should be treated as a contested new gTLD application rather than an active, delegated extension at present. ICANN’s 2026 gTLD round was open in late April 2026, and applications closed in August 2026, with applied-for strings due to be revealed in subsequent milestones. (icann.org)
