DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.stem Domain Names

Not yet available for registration

The.stem string is a proposed new gTLD associated with Link Freedom Group in publicly announced application disclosures. It is not a live delegated extension, so it should be treated as an upcoming string rather than an active registration space. As with other proposed gTLDs, final status depends on the ICANN process and subsequent registry steps. (vip.icann.org)
