.mychart
Is .mychart a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.mychart is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is Epic systems corporation.
A closed brand TLD for one company's patient-portal product: useful inside its own ecosystem, no open market or resale.
the applicant itself and the hospitals and health systems that run its patient-portal product, who could be issued portal addresses under the TLD; not open to the public
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: a single company turning its consumer self-service portal brand — a plain-English compound that sounds generic but is owned product branding — into the namespace where each customer logs in to see their own private records.
Same bet: an incumbent institution's product name for a per-user, credentialed repository of personal documents, wagering that customers will treat the vendor's product brand (not the vendor's corporate name) as the address they go to.
Same shape — a coined consumer-product brand for a logged-in space holding the user's own data — but the bet is on a mass-market self-signup service rather than a brand reached through the institution that holds your records, and its defensibility rests on a brand the owner does not have uncontested rights to.
What a .mychart domain is
.mychart 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 .mychart domain extension real yet?
.mychart 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 .mychart domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .mychart name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .mychart was .netbank, delegated on 22 June 2015.
Is .mychart a real TLD?
Not yet. .mychart is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .mychart 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), upper half. The record shows a single application of ICANN type 'brand' from Epic Systems Corporation, so this is assessed as a closed dot-brand: registrations limited to the operator and its affiliates, no third-party sales, no aftermarket. The string matches a patient-portal product that, by my own knowledge, is widely deployed across health systems in the US, where patients log in through hospital-specific portal addresses. That gives the TLD a plausible real use: one portal address per health system under a namespace patients already recognise, with a phishing-resistance benefit that matters in healthcare. That genuine operator-side utility is why it is not in the 1-9 band. It is not in the 30-49 band because none of that band's traits apply: no volume registrations, no price-driven demand, no aftermarket at all, and the hospital's primary identity stays on its own domain while a .mychart address would at most be a login surface. By analogy (flagged as analogy), 2012-round dot-brands split between operators who actively moved product surfaces onto them and operators who held them idle and later let them go; which path this one takes is unknown. Main market uncertainty: whether the operator migrates live patient-portal logins across its customer base onto the TLD, or keeps it defensively with no public-facing use.
