DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.wholesale Domain Names

Prelaunch, not delegated

.wholesale is a proposed generic top-level domain using a retail and distribution term that strongly suggests trade, supply and business-to-business commerce. Publicly announced information identifies Journey To The West Corporation as the applicant associated with.wholesale, and the string is not shown as delegated in the public ICANN registry resources reviewed. That makes it best understood as a prelaunch TLD for now, with illustrative use cases focused on wholesale trade rather than confirmed live registration activity.
