The mission of .server is to give the hosting and network infrastructure sector a namespace that names its own object. The string is the ordinary English noun ""server"" - the program or machine that provides a service to other computers over a network. It is applied for and will be operated in that plain descriptive sense, as an open namespace.

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