DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.port Domain Names

Application stage

.port is a proposed new generic top-level domain centred on ports, shipping and the wider world of trade and logistics. Publicly announced information identifies Journey To The West Corporation and Link Freedom Group as the organisations associated with public claims for.port in the 2026 ICANN round, and the string is therefore best understood as a contested proposed extension rather than a live domain space. ICANN’s 2026 round materials explain that applied-for strings are published after administrative checks and that contention may later be resolved through the programme’s established processes.
