.fresh
Is .fresh a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.fresh is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is GoDaddy Registry.
A pleasant adjective for food, produce and streetwear brands, but most buyers will see it as a cheap extra, not a home.
food, grocery and produce businesses, meal-kit and delivery startups, plus streetwear and sneaker brands wanting an upbeat, informal suffix
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.
Both are unowned quality adjectives rather than category nouns, sold on the bet that a food or produce business will put its primary identity behind a virtue claim about its goods, which only works if the registry can keep the claim credible enough that buyers trust it.
Same bet shape as a short, positive attribute modifier any seller can bolt onto a brand name, but its claim is about how something is made rather than the condition of the product itself, so the buyer set is broader and less grocery-shaped.
Another generic adjective with no inherent industry, relying on marketers wanting an evocative modifier instead of a descriptive noun, though its heavy color and political second meanings dilute the single-claim focus that .fresh has.
What a .fresh domain is
.fresh 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 .fresh domain extension real yet?
.fresh 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 .fresh domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .fresh name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .fresh was .organic, delegated on 13 June 2014.
Is .fresh a real TLD?
Not yet. .fresh is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .fresh 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). .fresh is a positive, widely understood English adjective with natural phrase fit in a few lanes: fresh food and produce, grocery and meal delivery, and the slang sense used by streetwear, sneaker and music brands. By analogy (flagged as such), adjective and mood strings such as .cool, .fun, .live and .new have tended to sell on price and promotion rather than become a primary identity for serious projects, with thin aftermarkets dominated by a handful of dictionary-word names; the single-applicant record here means no contention premium and the applicant, Registry Services, LLC (status: confirmed), is recorded neutrally as the sole applicant, which I read only as a plausible distribution path, not a demand signal. It is not in the 50-69 band because no category has adopted 'fresh' as its own namespace: a grocery or produce company explaining 'brand.fresh' still needs to justify the choice, and the word is more commonly a modifier than a category noun. It is not in the 10-29 band because the word is broad, inoffensive and commercially flattering, which by analogy with other upbeat adjectives supports steady low-price volume registrations and occasional real end-use in food and lifestyle brands rather than purely event-driven vanity. Main market uncertainty: whether food and grocery operators treat it as a primary identity for direct-to-consumer brands or only as a defensive or campaign string, which decides whether any aftermarket forms. All figures on registration volumes, prices and outcomes of analogous TLDs are unknown to me here and are not asserted.
