.ramp
Is .ramp a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.ramp is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is Ramp Business Corporation.
A single-company brand domain: useful to its owner for short, trusted links, but closed to everyone else and with no resale market.
the applicant company itself and its product teams, for short branded links and trusted login or payment addresses; not available to outside registrants
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-syllable, dictionary-plain English noun with no industry attached, claimed as the primary identity of one software company that needs the word to read as its brand rather than as a generic category anyone could join.
Same bet shape — an everyday noun with a faint money connotation carried by a consumer-finance brand — but the word's other established meanings (the plant, the flavour, the coinage facility) dilute single-owner ownership more than a purely structural noun does.
Also a short common word that doubles as a verb of motion/action and is bet on as a tech company's own namespace, though it reads more as jargon-of-a-function than as a brand-owned noun, so the identity claim is weaker.
What a .ramp domain is
.ramp 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 .ramp domain extension real yet?
.ramp 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 .ramp domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .ramp name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .ramp was .box, delegated on 11 November 2016.
Is .ramp a real TLD?
Not yet. .ramp is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .ramp 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). The record shows one application, by Ramp Business Corporation, of ICANN application type brand, with no contention recorded. A brand-type TLD is closed to third-party registration, so the only buyer is the operator; the string's value is end-use utility inside one company (short product and transactional addresses, phishing-resistant links) rather than any aftermarket. It is not in the 30-49 band because there are no volume or price-driven registrations at all and no resale layer. It is not in the 1-9 band because, by analogy with prior-round dot-brands that were actually put to use (redirect and product hostnames under a company's own string), a well-resourced operator can get real primary-identity utility from a brand string, and 'ramp' is a short, pronounceable, generic-feeling English word with meaning in finance and crypto (on-ramp), which helps memorability if it is used at all. Flagged as analogy: many prior-round dot-brands saw little or no use and some were later withdrawn or retired; the base rate for active use is modest, which is why the score sits in the lower part of the band rather than near its top. Main market uncertainty: whether the operator migrates customer-facing surfaces (sign-in, payments, documentation) onto the string or leaves it as a defensive, largely dormant asset; the former would push toward the top of the band, the latter toward the bottom.
