Applications Open April 2026 – Are You Ready?

Take Control of Your Digital Identity with a Brand TLD

ICANN's next application round opens in April 2026. For the first time in over a decade, trademark owners can apply for their own Brand Top-Level Domain, a secure, authentic digital space fully under your control. Stop confusing your audience. Give them a trusted destination that is your brand's authentic space.

Why Own Your Brand TLD

Most brands still rely on defensive tactics — registering hundreds of domains and paying for costly brand protection. A Brand TLD replaces that with an authentic, owned digital anchor that unifies identity, strengthens security, and enables smarter online engagement.

This video shows how owning your Brand TLD reduces costs and drives measurable growth.
