.notion
Is .notion a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.notion is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is Notion.
A closed brand namespace for one company; nobody else can buy a .notion address, so it has no open market.
the applicant itself, for first-party product, documentation and marketing addresses under its own name; no third-party buyers
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: an ordinary English word adopted as the name of a software company, then claimed as that company's exclusive identity string — the applicant has to convince ICANN and the world that a dictionary word belongs to one software vendor.
Also a common noun carried as a software firm's whole corporate identity, so the application rests on brand strength overriding the word's generic meaning rather than on any category claim.
Another plain-English word serving as a software/cloud brand's identity, but it is one product line inside a conglomerate rather than a single-product company whose name, product, and TLD are the same thing.
What a .notion domain is
.notion 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 .notion domain extension real yet?
.notion 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 .notion domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .notion name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .notion was .intuit, delegated on 12 July 2016.
Is .notion a real TLD?
Not yet. .notion is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .notion 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 block records a single confirmed application of ICANN application type 'brand' by Notion International Inc., which means the namespace would be operated for the applicant's own use rather than sold to the public; there is no buyer group beyond the operator and no aftermarket, since addresses are not transferable to third parties. It is not in the 10-29 band because that band presumes at least shallow, event-driven public registration demand, and a brand TLD has none by design. It is not below the band floor only because the string has genuine first-party end-use utility: a well-known productivity software company could plausibly move product, help and marketing addresses onto its own TLD, which is a real if non-market use. By analogy (flagged as analogy), earlier-round brand TLDs split between light first-party use on a few hosts and prolonged dormancy, with a meaningful share eventually relinquished; a software company with an active developer and template ecosystem sits toward the 'used' end, but that use accrues to the brand, not to any buyer. Main market uncertainty: whether the operator would ever open sub-namespaces to its ecosystem (workspace or template addresses for customers), which would create a small captive market this score does not credit.
