.landcros
Is .landcros a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.landcros is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd..
A closed company-owned ending with no public registrations, useful only as an internal web address for its applicant.
the applicant itself, Hitachi Construction Machinery, as a closed namespace for its own products, dealer portals and campaign sites; no third-party buyer
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 invented corporate names assembled from English word-fragments by a Japanese-style holding company, so the bet is identical: a string with zero generic demand that only has value because one company moves its own corporate identity onto it.
A coined, dictionary-meaningless company word whose entire case rests on the applicant being the single legitimate user — nobody else can want it, and nobody outside the firm's B2B customers recognizes it.
Same bet shape — a fused-fragment trade name belonging to one mid-size industrial firm — but it carries decades of established product recognition in its category, which a freshly coined corporate string does not.
What a .landcros domain is
.landcros 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 .landcros domain extension real yet?
.landcros 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 .landcros domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .landcros name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .landcros was .lixil, delegated on 30 July 2015.
Is .landcros a real TLD?
Not yet. .landcros is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .landcros is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list of applied-for strings. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- Band chosen: 1-9, no realistic market. The verified facts record a single confirmed application of ICANN type brand from Hitachi Construction Machinery, and the string is a coined term rather than a dictionary word or the company's own name, so there is no plausible open-registration demand and no aftermarket: nobody can buy an address on it except the operator. It is not in the 10-29 band because that band assumes at least shallow event-driven demand from outside buyers, which a closed brand ending structurally lacks; it is not lower than 8 only because the operator can get genuine, if modest, primary-identity use over the next 5 years (product sites, dealer logins, campaign links) and a well-resourced industrial applicant is more likely than most to actually deploy. By analogy (flagged as analogy), brand endings from the 2012 round mostly stayed dormant or were used for redirects, with a minority (banks, carmakers, some retailers) moving their main web presence onto them; a sub-brand string, as this appears to be, historically sat at the quieter end of that spread. Main market uncertainty: whether the operator commits to using this ending as a customer-facing identity for its construction-equipment services, or treats it as a defensive placeholder. Counts, adoption rates and prior outcomes beyond the facts block are unknown and reasoned from analogy only.
