DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.pod Domain Names

Prelaunch / not delegated

.pod is a proposed ASCII top-level domain associated in public disclosure with Link Freedom Group. IANA’s root zone database is the authoritative record of delegated top-level domains, so a string appearing there would support live delegation status; separate public evidence is needed to connect any applicant to the string. Publicly announced information identifies Link Freedom Group as the applicant associated with.pod.
