.liebherr
Is .liebherr a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.liebherr is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is Liebherr-International Deutschland GmbH.
A private company namespace for one industrial brand; useful to its owner, with no public registrations or resale market.
the applicant company and its subsidiaries, product divisions and regional sales and service units, as a single-owner namespace for its own web properties
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.
Nearly the same bet: a privately held German industrial-engineering group registering the founding family's surname, a string with no meaning or demand outside the company, doing only corporate and B2B-channel identity work for an owner who answers to no public market.
Also a German founder-surname manufacturer spanning heavy industrial equipment and consumer appliances, so the string carries the same dual trade identity and needs the same thing to be true: that the dealer and distributor network, not open-web search, is where the name gets typed.
A founder-named European capital-equipment maker whose string is opaque to anyone outside its industry, the same narrow-buyer identity bet, though it lacks the consumer-appliance half of the target's identity.
What a .liebherr domain is
.liebherr 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 .liebherr domain extension real yet?
.liebherr 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 .liebherr domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .liebherr name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .liebherr was .schaeffler, delegated on 24 December 2015.
Is .liebherr a real TLD?
Not yet. .liebherr is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .liebherr is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list of applied-for strings. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- Band chosen: 10-29 (vanity/narrow). The verified-facts block records one application, by Liebherr-International Deutschland GmbH, with ICANN application type "brand", so this is a single-registrant namespace: addresses are not sold to the public and there is no aftermarket by design, which makes its value end-use only, for one owner. From my own knowledge, Liebherr is a large, multi-division industrial group (construction machinery, cranes, mining equipment, aerospace components, refrigeration and more), so there is a plausible internal use case for a company-wide namespace: product-line, regional and service sites under one memorable suffix. By analogy with brand TLDs from the 2012 round, outcomes were mixed: some manufacturers moved parts of their web presence or ran campaigns on their brand TLD, while many stayed dormant or used it only for redirects, and most kept the legacy .com as the public-facing identity; I infer by analogy that this string is more likely to be used selectively than as the group's primary identity within 5 years. It is not in the 30-49 band because registrations cannot happen at volume or on price and there is no aftermarket at all; it is not in the 1-9 band because the owner is a real, globally operating group for which a controlled, trusted namespace has genuine utility (security, brand assurance, consolidation of many subsidiaries' sites). Main market uncertainty: whether the group commits to migrating customer-facing properties onto the TLD or keeps it as a defensive, redirect-only asset, which is the difference between the top and bottom of this band. Figures on the group's size, site count and web traffic are unknown here and not asserted.
