DOTBRANDS

Make your brand more memorable.
Put it right of this little dot.

In 2026, a rare opportunity opens to claim your space on the internet – your brand’s name, as its domain extension. A powerful device that cannot be imitated, is easy to find, and made to stand out.

Put your name where no one else can.

Now's the time to prepare for a DotBrand application – like .yourbrand – as a new Top Level Domain (nTLD).

A DotBrand TLD is your own slice of the internet. It reinforces your brand’s identity, makes you easier to find, and gives you control over how and where your brand shows up online. The result? Stronger recognition, greater trust, and a clearer path to conversion.

So, if it’s important to you, now’s the time to own it.
