DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.shift Domain Names

Application disclosed

The.shift extension suits names built around movement, transition, change and process. Publicly announced information identifies Starlight Registry as the applicant associated with.shift, and ICANN’s 2026 round materials show the application programme is still moving through its post-submission stages. That makes.shift a proposed string rather than a live extension at this time. (rapidwombat.com)
