.graph
Is .graph a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
Nobody has applied for .graph in its own right, as of 7 October 2026. GoDaddy Registry named .graph as the replacement string of its .labs application.
A tidy word for data and developer projects, but few would make it their main address; expect modest, price-driven demand.
developers and data teams building graph databases, knowledge graphs, analytics or visualisation tools, plus crypto projects around graph-indexing protocols
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.
Same bet as .graph: a bare abstract technical primitive owned as an open generic, where the buyers are data-infrastructure companies and engineering teams putting their primary identity on a concept rather than a product, and it only works if a diffuse technical meaning can be concentrated into an addressable namespace.
A one-word name for a data discipline sold to the practitioners and vendors of that discipline — the same wager that a technical-field noun is valuable because an industry already uses the word about itself, not because consumers search for it.
Also a newly-ascendant architecture term staked as a generic while its category was still forming, the same bet on a technical concept's rise, but broader and more consumer-legible than .graph, whose audience stays inside engineering.
What a .graph domain is
.graph is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under AI & tech. Nobody has applied for .graph in its own right. It is named on ICANN’s list as part of an application for another string.
Is the .graph domain extension real yet?
.graph 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 .graph domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .graph name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .graph was .data, delegated on 20 December 2016.
Is .graph a real TLD?
Not yet. .graph is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because ICANN’s list names .graph as part of an application for another string. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- Band chosen: usable but limited (30-49). The string carries a real, coherent meaning in developer and data circles - graph databases, knowledge graphs, graph query layers, graph-based machine learning, and a well-known crypto indexing protocol whose name is the word itself - so there is a plausible buyer who would register something like knowledge.graph or social.graph for a product or demo. It is not in the band above (strong niche, 50-69) because, by analogy with other dictionary-word developer TLDs that lacked a large sponsor pushing default adoption, such a word tends to be taken as a secondary, descriptive address rather than a company's primary identity; the credibility signal outside a narrow technical audience is weak, and by analogy with data-themed strings the aftermarket would likely be thin (inference from analogy - no registration or sales figures are in the verified facts). It is not in the band below (vanity/joke, 10-29) because the semantic fit is genuine and durable: graph-shaped data and AI tooling is an active field over the next 5 years, and some serious projects will plausibly use the string as a primary identity for a product line rather than only a redirect. The only applicant on record is GoDaddy Registry (Registry Services, LLC), filed as a replacement string for a primary .labs application; a large registry operator makes broad registrar distribution likely, which supports the lower-middle of the band rather than its floor. Main market uncertainty: whether the graph-database and knowledge-graph tooling ecosystem adopts the string as a shared developer namespace idiom, or whether it remains a descriptive curiosity bought mainly on price.
