.body
Is .body a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.body is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is XYZ.
A clear wellness and body-care word, but brands in that space still default elsewhere; expect price-driven registrations, not a standard.
body-care, fitness, wellness and tattoo/body-art brands, plus wordplay buyers wanting hacks like every.body or some.body
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.
Identical bet: a short, unowned anatomy noun with no industry structure behind it, sold on the hope that care and wellness businesses will put their primary identity on a plain human-body word.
Same wager on a bare body noun whose commercial meaning must be supplied by registrants in the personal-care and treatment trades rather than by any category the word already names.
Same buyer pool of gyms, trainers and wellness brands branding on a generic, but it is an activity label with a settled industry behind it, where .body stays a looser lifestyle word.
What a .body domain is
.body is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under Commerce. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list.
Is the .body domain extension real yet?
.body is not yet a domain extension you can register: nothing resolves under it, and no registrar sells names in it. It is a string applicants have put forward in the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, the process that decides whether it becomes one.
When can you buy a .body domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .body name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .body was .skin, delegated on 15 January 2016.
Is .body a real TLD?
Not yet. .body is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .body is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list of applied-for strings. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- Band chosen: 30-49 (usable but limited). The string is a plain dictionary noun with a large commercial neighbourhood — skincare, deodorant and body-care lines, gyms and fitness coaching, massage and physiotherapy, tattoo and body art, even auto body shops — and it carries memorable domain-hack potential (every.body, some.body, any.body). By analogy (flagged as analogy), the closest precedents are the wellness/beauty-descriptor TLDs such as .fit, .fitness, .beauty, .skin and .hair: those drew registrations largely on promotional pricing, produced some developed sites, but did not become the primary identity that serious brands in the category pick without explanation, and their aftermarkets stayed thin. Not the band above (50-69) because there is no evidence of sustained, genuine primary-identity demand — body-care and fitness brands overwhelmingly keep .com-style identities, and a .body address still needs explaining to a customer. Not the band below (10-29) because the word is a real category descriptor with a broad buyer pool, not a joke or event string, and the hack names give it a durable if small trickle of real use. The applicant on the record, XYZ.COM LLC, is the only applicant recorded (status confirmed), and from analogy an operator with an existing beauty-descriptor portfolio could cross-sell .body into a wellness cluster, which raises adoption likelihood somewhat. Main market uncertainty: whether that cluster produces developed, renewing brand sites or mostly promo-priced registrations that churn after the first year. Specific registration, price and renewal figures: unknown.
