.seite
Is .seite a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
Nobody has applied for .seite in its own right, as of 7 October 2026. KV GmbH named .seite as the replacement string of its .bro application.
A German word for "page/site": readable to German speakers, but .de already owns that market, so expect cheap, modest use.
german-speaking small businesses, hobbyists and web-presence builders in Germany, Austria and Switzerland who want a readable "meine.seite"-style address
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.
"сайт" is the same bet exactly: the ordinary everyday word for "web page/site" in one language, sold as a web-presence suffix to anyone in that language market who wants a plain, self-explaining address rather than a branded one.
"网站" is likewise the native-language generic for "website" — a mass-market, no-niche string whose buyer is any speaker of that language putting up a page, with the registry's success resting on volume of ordinary registrants, not on any industry or community.
Identical word doing the identical job for the identical buyer, but as the English form it is a global land-rush play against the whole .com-alternative field, whereas .seite's premise is that one language market will prefer its own word.
What a .seite domain is
.seite is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under AI & tech. Nobody has applied for .seite in its own right. It is named on ICANN’s list as part of an application for another string.
Is the .seite domain extension real yet?
.seite 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 .seite domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .seite name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .seite was .xn--80aswg, delegated on 23 October 2013.
Is .seite a real TLD?
Not yet. .seite is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because ICANN’s list names .seite as part of an application for another string. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- Band chosen: 30-49 (usable but limited), at its floor. 'Seite' is the everyday German word for 'page' and also 'side', so the string reads naturally as a suffix to German speakers (a company or person's 'page') much as .site, .page and .website do in English; by analogy, those English generics register at volume mainly on price and carry weak brand signal, and a German-only translation addresses a far smaller linguistic market. The closest analogues are the earlier German-language generic TLDs (.haus, .jetzt, .reise, .reisen, .kaufen); by analogy their outcome was modest registration bases, little primary-identity use by serious businesses and thin aftermarkets, because German-speaking businesses default overwhelmingly to .de (and .at/.ch) without explanation. It is not in the 50-69 band because there is no sustained niche demand distinct from .de and no reason a serious project would choose it as its primary identity over the national ccTLD; it is not in the 10-29 band because the word is generic and functional rather than a joke or event-driven term, so some real, if price-driven, registrations and occasional earnest small-site use are plausible over the next 5 years. Applicant facts, stated neutrally from the record: one application, by KV GmbH, standard type, filed as a replacement string for a primary application for .bro, no contention recorded; a GmbH applicant makes a German-market orientation plausible, which fits the string. Main market uncertainty: whether German-speaking registrants treat .seite as a natural, usable suffix (like .page) or as a novelty they do not renew, and whether it is priced as a volume generic or a premium one; actual registration figures for the German-language generic analogues are unknown to me and are not in the verified facts.
