.goldmansachs
Is .goldmansachs a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.goldmansachs is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC.
A private brand address for one global bank: real value to the firm itself, but no one else can buy a name on it and no resale market.
the applicant itself — Goldman Sachs and its business units, product teams and regional entities, for client-facing sites, secure login and campaign addresses under a name only the firm controls
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.
The same bet almost exactly: a bulge-bracket US investment bank putting its full founder-surname legal name on a TLD, where the value is institutional prestige and brand control rather than traffic, since the firm has few mass-consumer touchpoints to route through it.
A founder-surname private bank whose entire brand equity is the partners' names and whose clients are institutions and the wealthy, so the string only works as a trust marker for a closed audience — never as a destination the public would type.
Also a long, merged, non-generic full company name for a global bank betting that corporate identity is worth a registry, though its large retail base gives it a consumer-facing job that a wholesale firm's string does not have.
What a .goldmansachs domain is
.goldmansachs 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 .goldmansachs domain extension real yet?
.goldmansachs 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 .goldmansachs domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .goldmansachs name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens.
Is .goldmansachs a real TLD?
Not yet. .goldmansachs is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .goldmansachs 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), at the low end. This is a closed brand TLD: the verified facts record a single confirmed brand-type application from Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC with no contention, so the only realistic registrant is the firm itself. End-use utility for that buyer is genuine — a long, two-word corporate name is well suited to a self-contained namespace (e.g. a short path under the brand for login, divisions or regions) and a bank has a strong anti-phishing and trust rationale for addresses that can only be issued by the firm. By analogy with brand TLDs held by large banks and insurers from the earlier round, some operators did move primary web properties onto their string and used it as a real identity, while many other brand strings sat as redirects or went unused; flagged as analogy, with no counts asserted. It is not in the 50-69 band because there is no third-party demand, no registration volume and no aftermarket by design, so the resale/brand-strength half of the scale is near zero. It is not in the 10-29 band because, for its single intended buyer, this is a plausible serious primary identity backed by a well-known global financial brand, not a vanity or event-driven string. Main market uncertainty: whether the firm actually migrates client-facing or primary properties onto the string over the next 5 years, or keeps it as a defensive, redirect-only holding — the two outcomes sit at opposite ends of this band.
