.memo
Is .memo a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
Nobody has applied for .memo in its own right, as of 7 October 2026. Radix named .memo as the replacement string of its .project application.
A plain word for notes and short write-ups; fine for a notes app or side project, rarely a serious main web address.
note-taking and writing apps, newsletter and short-form publishers, internal-communication tools, and hobbyists who want a "memo" suffix for a personal notes site
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 exactly: an everyday generic noun for a written work document, whose natural owner is a productivity/document software maker claiming the category word as its product namespace rather than a community or a brand.
Also a plain generic noun naming the message artifact itself, bought on the premise that whoever owns the word for the unit of written communication owns the service that produces it.
Another singular generic business-document noun with the same buyer logic — a workplace output word usable as a suffix label by many firms — though it leans more on the verb sense and institutional publishing than .memo does.
What a .memo domain is
.memo 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 .memo in its own right. It is named on ICANN’s list as part of an application for another string.
Is the .memo domain extension real yet?
.memo 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 .memo domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .memo name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .memo was .docs, delegated on 18 December 2014.
Is .memo a real TLD?
Not yet. .memo is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because ICANN’s list names .memo as part of an application for another string. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- Band chosen: 10-29 (vanity/narrow), at its upper edge. The string is a common dictionary word with one clear product meaning (notes, short written communications) and some everyday use in several languages, which gives it a believable use case for note apps, newsletters and personal writing sites. It is not in the 30-49 band because the word does not describe a buyer group or an industry the way .shop or .tech do; demand would come from a small set of products built around the note metaphor, and most of those would still treat a .memo address as a secondary or campaign name rather than a primary identity. It is not in the 1-9 band because the word is short, memorable, pronounceable and carries a real meaning, so registrations at volume are plausible if priced for it. By analogy (flagged as analogy), single-noun generics that name a content form rather than a market — strings in the spirit of .wiki, .diary or .blog — have tended to land somewhere between shallow and modest adoption, with .blog the strongest of that family and the others thin; .memo reads closer to the weaker end of that group. The verified record shows one application, from Radix, filed as a replacement string for .project, with no contention recorded and no category tag; that tells us the string is a secondary choice for its applicant, which I use only to note that marketing emphasis behind it is uncertain. Main market uncertainty: whether the string is positioned as a low-price volume TLD (more registrations, weaker brand signal, thinner aftermarket) or as a premium niche (fewer registrations, slightly stronger signal); the record does not say.
