DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.planet Domain Names

Proposed; not delegated

The.planet string is publicly associated with more than one claimant in the New gTLD 2026 process, so it should be treated as a contested proposed extension rather than a live public namespace. That makes it a fit for concept-led planning, naming ideas and brand strategy centred on Earth, space, sustainability and global reach.
