DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE
.mega Domain Names
Public application stageThe.mega string is associated with a proposed generic top-level domain in public disclosure material. Publicly announced information identifies Link Freedom Group as the applicant linked with.mega, while ICANN has stated that the 2026 round’s public-facing applied-for strings will be published after administrative review and reveal milestones. On that basis,.mega should be treated as a proposed extension rather than an active public registration space at this stage. (lfg.link)
