DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.text Domain Names

Pre-launch

.text is a proposed generic top-level domain string that reads as a common English word and points strongly towards writing, copy, messaging and textual identity. ICANN’s 2026 round had closed by 13 August 2026, and public disclosure of applied-for strings was expected on Reveal Day, so the string should still be treated as pre-launch rather than delegated or available. Publicly announced information identifies Link Freedom Group as the applicant associated with.text. (icann.org)
