DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE
.laozihao Domain Names
Application announced; not delegatedThe.laozihao string is publicly associated with an ICANN 2026 new gTLD application by Journey To The West Corporation. The string appears on the applicant’s own site, and the name is presented there as part of a wider portfolio of culture-led registry concepts. ICANN’s 2026 round timeline confirms that applications were open and later closed in August 2026, but delegation has not been evidenced here, so.laozihao should be treated as a proposed extension rather than a live one.
