DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.pipa Domain Names

Application announced; not delegated

The.pipa string is a proposed new generic top-level domain in the 2026 ICANN round. Publicly announced information identifies Journey To The West Corporation as the applicant associated with the string, and the registry applicant’s own site presents it within a broader portfolio of applied-for names. At this stage,.pipa should be treated as a prospective extension rather than a live domain space.
