ICANN has published the final Applicant Guidebook (AGB) and announced the next gTLD window will open on April 30, 2026.
The application window will run for three and a half months—more than twice as long as the last one in 2012. If you’re interested in applying for a new gTLD, this is your chance! Secure your extension and create your own corner of an internet namespace.
At Hello Registry, we’re ready to help you make the most of this opportunity. As a joint Registry Service Provider (RSP) powered by SIDN and CIRA, we provide the expertise, infrastructure and support you need to launch and operate your extension with confidence.
What does this mean for you?
- The timeline is set: start preparing now to get your application ready for next year
- Key requirements: review the AGB for must-haves on financial stability, technical capability and clear namespace policies.
