DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.links Domain Names

Delegated and active

.links is a delegated generic top-level domain in the DNS root zone. It suits sites, services and campaigns built around links, referrals and connected experiences. This guide summarises registry status, practical naming uses and authoritative public sources so visitors can separate live DNS delegation from individual domain availability.

Searches are checked through the configured availability provider when supported.
