Innovation Service Limited

The mission and purpose of the applied-for gTLD is to provide an affordable, generic, and unrestricted namespace for internet users of all types. As a global IPv4 provider and infrastructure company focused on IP resource operations, transactions, routing support, and infrastructure delivery, .LARUS is positioned to expand choice and affordability in the domain name space in much the same way it has expanded access to scarce IPv4 resources — giving individuals, businesses, and new internet entrants around the world a straightforward, low-cost path to a domain name.

When will .larus 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 .larus and its registry announces launch dates.
