.url Domain Names

Application announced; not delegated

.url is a proposed generic top-level domain that clearly points to the idea of a web address. Publicly announced information identifies Link Freedom Group as the applicant associated with.url, and the string is not listed in the IANA root zone database, so it should be treated as not delegated at present. (lfg.link)
