DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.know Domain Names

Application announced

The.know string suggests knowledge, learning and informed decision-making. Publicly announced information identifies Link Freedom Group as the applicant associated with.know, alongside ICANN’s 2026 new gTLD application round context. It is therefore best read as a proposed extension at this stage, with any registration model subject to future registry outcomes.
