DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE
.tag Domain Names
Application disclosedThe.tag string is a short, recognisable term with broad branding potential. Publicly announced information identifies more than one organisation associated with the string, so it should be treated as a contested new gTLD application rather than an active public extension at this stage.
.tag registrations are not available yet. Search related extensions or get a launch alert.
