.chromebook
Is .chromebook a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.chromebook is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is Google.
A product-brand namespace: useful to its owner for official pages, but no third party can buy an address on it.
the trademark owner's own product, support, education and partner pages; no public buyer group exists unless the registry opens it to resellers or developers
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.
Same bet almost exactly: a vendor-trademarked laptop-class name that third-party OEMs build to, so the registry would be one company policing a device category it owns the word for rather than its own corporate name.
A single company's consumer-hardware product line as the string, where the identity being defended is a device family rather than the parent brand or a generic category.
Also a hardware sub-brand sitting under a much larger parent name, betting that the product line itself is worth its own namespace separate from the company TLD.
What a .chromebook domain is
.chromebook is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under Brand. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list.
Is the .chromebook domain extension real yet?
.chromebook 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 .chromebook domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .chromebook name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens.
Is .chromebook a real TLD?
Not yet. .chromebook is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .chromebook is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list of applied-for strings. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- Band 1-9 (no realistic market). The string is a trademarked laptop product name, and the record shows a single confirmed application from Charleston Road Registry Inc. with no contention, which is the profile of a brand TLD run as a closed, single-registrant namespace. By analogy (flagged): product-brand strings from the 2012 round such as .android, .chrome and .youtube were operated as closed registries with no third-party registrations and no aftermarket, and several saw little visible use beyond redirects; the comparable outcome here is some official-page use (support, education, device pages) and nothing for outside buyers. It is not in the 10-29 band because that band presumes at least shallow, event-driven demand from outside registrants, and a closed brand string offers none; it is not lower than 7 because the owner itself can plausibly put the TLD to real primary use for an active product line, which is more end-use utility than a dead or orphaned string. Main market uncertainty: whether the registry keeps it closed or opens second-level names to partners, developers or resellers under a verified program, which would move it toward a narrow-but-real niche.
