DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.loop Domain Names

Not yet available

The.loop extension is a proposed generic top-level domain associated with the idea of a loop, cycle or repeating process. Publicly announced information identifies two separate claimants for the string in the 2026 round, making it a contested application with no live registration availability at this stage. ICANN’s 2026 round was open from 30 April 2026 to 12 August 2026, and the applicant journey runs through evaluation, contracting and possible delegation before any domain can be registered.
