DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE

.yyy Domain Names

Not yet launched

.yyy is a proposed generic top-level domain string in the 2026 ICANN round. Publicly announced information identifies more than one applicant associated with the string, so it should be treated as a contested proposed extension rather than a live domain ending at this stage. ICANN has said Reveal Day will publish the public-facing portions of applications after administrative check, and the 2026 round application window closed on 12 August 2026. (icann.org)

Frequently asked questions

Is.yyy live yet?

No. It is currently a proposed string in the 2026 ICANN round, not a delegated live extension.

Who is associated with.yyy?

Publicly announced information identifies more than one organisation as a claimant associated with the string.

Can I register a.yyy domain now?

What does.yyy mean?

It does not have a fixed public meaning; its appeal is mainly in its short, distinctive form.

The next key milestones are Reveal Day and later ICANN processing stages for the 2026 round.
