DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.portal Domain Names

Applicant announced

.portal is a proposed generic top-level domain associated with the word “portal”, which naturally suggests a gateway, entry point or central access hub. Publicly announced information identifies Link Freedom Group as the applicant associated with.portal. ICANN’s 2026 Round materials confirm that new gTLD applications are submitted through the New gTLD Application Management System, while the IANA Root Zone Database records delegated top-level domains only when they are active in the DNS root.
