.present
Is .present a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
Nobody has applied for .present in its own right, as of 7 October 2026. Intercap named .present as the replacement string of its .slides application.
A short real word with split meanings (gift, presentation, be here now); registrations will happen, but few will make it their main 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 exactly: a singular, everyday generic noun for the act of giving an object, sold to gift retailers and one-off campaign microsites rather than to anyone who would make it their permanent identity.
The plural of the identical bet — a consumer-gifting category noun whose value depends on shoppers reading the right-hand side as a product aisle, with the same thin pool of merchants willing to re-anchor a storefront on it.
Also a consumer-gifting word monetized through seasonal promo and campaign registrations rather than durable primary identity, but it is an occasion name rather than a category noun, so it carries a calendar instead of a product class.
What a .present domain is
.present is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under Commerce. Nobody has applied for .present in its own right. It is named on ICANN’s list as part of an application for another string.
Is the .present domain extension real yet?
.present 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 .present domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .present name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .present was .gift, delegated on 18 January 2014.
Is .present a real TLD?
Not yet. .present is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because ICANN’s list names .present as part of an application for another string. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- Band chosen: 30-49, usable but limited. The string is a common English word with at least three live meanings: a gift (retail and occasions), a presentation or the act of presenting (pitch decks, slide tools, 'we present'), and presence (mindfulness, events, attendance). That breadth guarantees some registrations at volume or on price, and the verb reading gives a credible 'name.present' construction for presentation and launch pages, which is why it sits above the 10-29 vanity band: a serious small project could plausibly use it as a primary identity without it reading as a joke. It stays below the 50-69 niche band because no single category treats it as a natural home: the gift meaning competes with the longer-standing gift-word TLDs and with .com shops, the presentation meaning is secondary to the applicant's own primary string .slides on the record (the application is recorded as a replacement string for .slides), and the presence meaning is too diffuse to anchor sustained demand. By analogy (flagged as analogy), single-word gift- and show-themed TLDs from the earlier round have tended to attract modest registration bases with thin aftermarkets, and verb-style strings have only worked where a registry enforced a clear use pattern. Applicant facts on the record: one application, Intercap Registry Inc., standard type, status replacement; its operator-of-record status informs adoption likelihood only, with no launch posture or pricing in the verified facts. Main market uncertainty over the next 5 years: which meaning the registry positions around and whether that positioning sticks; a tight presentation-tool framing could lift it toward the niche band, while a loose any-meaning sale likely keeps it in the low 30s with little resale value. Volumes, prices, and comparable registration counts are unknown here.
