Does .icon exist?
Not yet: applied for
Not yet. .icon is not in the DNS root, so no registrar can sell a .icon domain today. One applicant (ShortDot (Ireland) Limited) filed for .icon in ICANN's 2026 new gTLD round. It can only be registered after ICANN delegates it and the registry opens sales.
Who applied for .icon, what they say it is for, and what happens next.
Source: ICANN 2026 round applications, checked November 1, 2026. Not in the IANA root zone as of October 31, 2026.
Every string applied for in 2026 is on upcoming TLDs, and every live one is in the directory.
