DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE
.index Domain Names
PrelaunchThe.index string is being publicly associated with Link Freedom Group in connection with a proposed new generic top-level domain. That places it in a prelaunch category rather than an active public registration space, so it is best understood as a future namespace candidate with a strong semantic link to indexing, navigation and organised information. Publicly announced information identifies Link Freedom Group as the organisation associated with the string, while the ICANN public announcements pages confirm the 2026 new gTLD application window and related programme activity but do not independently confirm this exact string.
