DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE
.vibe Domain Names
Not yet available for registrationThe.vibe string is a proposed new generic top-level domain connected with expressive, contemporary branding. Publicly announced information identifies Link Freedom Group as one applicant associated with.vibe, and another public claim also exists, making the string contested. The 2026 ICANN new gTLD round opened on 30 April 2026 and closed on 12 August 2026, so.vibe should be treated as a proposed extension rather than a live public registration space at this stage.
