.salzburg
Is .salzburg a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.salzburg is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is tldbox GmbH.
A city address local Salzburg businesses, tourism and institutions may adopt, but it stays a regional label with little resale value.
local businesses, tourism operators, cultural institutions and public bodies in the city and state of Salzburg wanting a visibly regional web identity
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.
Identical bet: a German-speaking Austrian place-name sold as a civic namespace, where the registrant is a local SME, hotel, or cultural institution putting its hometown identity to the right of the dot, and it only works if a local registry can persuade its own community that place beats .at.
Like Salzburg, the string is at once a city-scale brand and an Austrian federal state, so it is the same bet on an Alpine tourism-and-hospitality region whose name is already a marketing asset, aimed at the same hoteliers, guides, and regional bodies.
Same non-capital, German-speaking single-city geo bet serving a local business base; it differs only in that the catchment is a finance-hub economy rather than a festival-and-tourism one, which changes who the anchor registrants would be.
What a .salzburg domain is
.salzburg is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under Places. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list.
Is the .salzburg domain extension real yet?
.salzburg 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 .salzburg domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .salzburg name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .salzburg was .wien, delegated on 3 January 2014.
Is .salzburg a real TLD?
Not yet. .salzburg is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .salzburg is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list of applied-for strings. Every entry on this page links to its source.
- tldbox GmbH · first recordedICANN
- Band chosen: 30-49, usable but limited. .salzburg is a geographic city/state string for a mid-sized Austrian region known for tourism, music festivals and a historic old town; the verified record shows one confirmed application (tldbox GmbH, ICANN application ID TG2593-T29738, geographic-name type) and a separate .waw application by the same applicant that names .salzburg as its primary, which suggests the applicant treats .salzburg as its lead string. By analogy (flagged as analogy), existing German-speaking city and regional TLDs such as .wien, .koeln, .hamburg and .tirol have found genuine primary-identity use among local shops, hotels, clubs and municipal services, but their registration bases stayed modest and their aftermarkets thin; a smaller region like Salzburg would plausibly land below those. Not the band above (50-69): demand is bounded by a small local population and seasonal tourism marketing, so sustained adoption beyond the region is unlikely over the next 5 years and resale value is near nil. Not the band below (10-29): it is not a joke or event-driven string; a hotel, festival or city office could credibly use name.salzburg as its main address, and geo strings by analogy tend to hold steady if small renewal bases. Specific registration counts, pricing and prior-round city-TLD volumes are unknown here. Main market uncertainty: whether the city/state government and the tourism board adopt and promote the TLD for their own properties, which by analogy has been the deciding factor between a quietly used city TLD and a dormant one.
