.agentur
Is .agentur a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
Nobody has applied for .agentur in its own right, as of 7 October 2026. tldbox GmbH named .agentur as the replacement string of its .coaching application.
A German word for "agency" that reads naturally for DACH agencies, but .de is the default there and sister German TLDs stayed small.
german-speaking agencies (advertising, digital, PR, travel, insurance, recruiting, model and talent agencies) in Germany, Austria and Switzerland looking for a descriptive brand address beside or instead of their .de/.at/.ch
No applications recorded for this TLD yet.
The 2012 applications making the most similar bet. Chosen by AI from every string in that round, without being told what happened to any of them.
Literally the same bet in English: an open generic noun for a service firm's own self-description, sold to thousands of small independent shops who would put their primary identity on it, with no community, brand, or gatekeeper behind it.
The same structural wager as .agentur — a German-language generic trade noun aimed at German-speaking SMEs in one service industry, betting that a local-language category word beats the English equivalent for that buyer.
Also a German generic industry noun sold to German-speaking businesses, but its buyer skews toward large regulated carriers rather than the many tiny independent firms .agentur depends on.
What a .agentur domain is
.agentur is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under Commerce. Nobody has applied for .agentur in its own right. It is named on ICANN’s list as part of an application for another string.
Is the .agentur domain extension real yet?
.agentur is not yet a domain extension you can register: nothing resolves under it, and no registrar sells names in it. Nobody has applied for it on the public record; the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round is the process that would decide whether it becomes one.
When can you buy a .agentur domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .agentur name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .agentur was .agency, delegated on 14 January 2014.
Is .agentur a real TLD?
Not yet. .agentur is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because ICANN’s list names .agentur as part of an application for another string. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- Band chosen: usable but limited (30-49). 'Agentur' is a common, descriptive German business noun with a genuinely large buyer group (Werbeagentur, Digitalagentur, Reiseagentur, Versicherungsagentur, Modelagentur), and 'name.agentur' parses naturally in German, so registrations at volume or on price are plausible and some agencies would use it as a primary identity. It is not in the strong-niche band (50-69) because, by analogy, earlier German-language descriptive gTLDs (.immobilien, .versicherung, .reisen, .kaufen) remained small and explanation-dependent markets next to a very strong .de default, and the English analogue .agency reads as a price-driven registration TLD with a weak brand signal and thin aftermarket rather than a category standard. It is not in the vanity band (10-29) because this is a real professional category term, not a joke or event-driven string, and demand would be sustained rather than shallow. Exact registration counts and prices for those analogues are unknown here and the comparisons are inferences from analogy only. The record shows a single application by tldbox GmbH, listed as a replacement string for a .coaching primary application; no category tag and zero contention are recorded, which I take as a neutral adoption-likelihood signal. Main market uncertainty: whether DACH agencies, who overwhelmingly default to .de/.at/.ch and treat a country code as a trust marker, will accept a new-gTLD identity at all, and whether the string ends up priced as a premium niche or a volume product.
