DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE
.hype Domain Names
Prelaunch; not delegated.hype is a proposed ASCII top-level domain string associated with Link Freedom Group in publicly announced ICANN disclosure material. IANAβs Root Zone Database is the authoritative record of delegated top-level domains, and.hype does not appear there as a delegated entry, so it should be treated as prelaunch rather than live. Publicly announced information identifies the named organisation as the applicant associated with.hype.
