.ola
Is .ola a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
Nobody has applied for .ola in its own right, as of 7 October 2026. Identity Digital named .ola as the replacement string of its .hola application.
A friendly greeting word in Spanish and Portuguese; fun for a hello-page or a short brand, but rarely a serious main address.
spanish- and portuguese-speaking small brands, creators and campaign pages wanting a warm, greeting-style web address, plus any company that already uses "ola" as its name
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: a tiny, warm Spanish/Portuguese exclamation that names no category and no company, so it has to be sold purely on expressive punch and Iberian-language affinity to anyone who wants a friendly, pronounceable identity.
Also a very short everyday Spanish word that is grammar rather than a noun — it only works if Hispanophone registrants will hang a primary identity on a conversational word, the same leap .ola requires.
The same interjection bet in English: three friendly letters with no industry behind them, where the whole value proposition is tone and memorability rather than describing what the registrant does.
What a .ola domain is
.ola is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under Culture. Nobody has applied for .ola in its own right. It is named on ICANN’s list as part of an application for another string.
Is the .ola domain extension real yet?
.ola 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 .ola domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .ola name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .ola was .viva, delegated on 28 August 2015.
Is .ola a real TLD?
Not yet. .ola is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because ICANN’s list names .ola as part of an application for another string. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- Band chosen: 10-29 (vanity/narrow). The string reads as the greeting ola/hola to Spanish and Portuguese speakers, and as a short, pronounceable syllable to everyone else; that gives it charm but no category it is the default address for. By analogy (flagged as analogy) with earlier greeting- and exclamation-style strings such as .lol and .wow, such TLDs attract a burst of curiosity and campaign registrations and then settle into low, price-sensitive renewal with a thin aftermarket; a serious Latin American or Iberian business is more likely to choose its country code or .com than a greeting. It is not in the 30-49 band because there is no evident volume driver (no profession, product, or place is named ola), and it is not in the 1-9 band because the word is widely understood, easy to say, and short enough that landing pages, welcome campaigns, and the handful of brands that use ola as a name would plausibly register it. The facts on record show a single standard application by Identity Digital, filed as a replacement string for its .hola application, which suggests a general-market intent rather than a closed brand use; this informs likely general availability but not the string's value. Main market uncertainty: whether Portuguese-speaking users adopt it as a greeting namespace in a way that Spanish-leaning strings would not, or whether the ambiguity between the two languages dilutes both audiences.
