DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.sourcing Domain Names

Applied-for string

The.sourcing string is a proposed generic top-level domain connected to sourcing, procurement and supplier discovery. Publicly announced information identifies Journey To The West Corporation as the applicant associated with.sourcing. ICANN’s 2026 Round materials show that applied-for strings move through publication, evaluation and later delegation stages, so this extension should be treated as a proposed string rather than a live namespace at this point.
