Upcoming TLDs / .deploy

Can you register a .deploy domain?

Not yet: applied for
The short answer
Not yet. .deploy is not in the DNS root, so no registrar can sell a .deploy domain today. It is one of 986 strings applied for in ICANN's 2026 new gTLD round, published October 7, 2026. 2 applicants want it (OPENAI OPCO, LLC and WITH YOU MEDYA GIDA SANAYİ VE TİCARET LİMİTED ŞİRKETİ), and only one can run it.

What .deploy would mean

In their own words, from the public part of each application (question 118):

Deploy means to put a system, service, resource, or capability into active use for a specific purpose.

OPENAI OPCO, LLC

"Deploy" means to launch or bring into action. Guided by our producer vision at With You Medya, this TLD serves as a dynamic hub to execute and launch films, tech innovations, and diverse projects across all sectors.

When will .deploy be available?

ICANN has not set a date. The final list of applied-for strings comes on String Confirmation Day (November 17, 2026), community input and objections run until March 16, 2027, and ICANN processes applications after a prioritization draw in 2027. Registration opens only after ICANN delegates .deploy and its registry announces launch dates.
