.sodexo
Is .sodexo a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.sodexo is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is SODEXO.
A company-name domain ending: useful only to the one brand that owns it, with no open registrations and no resale market.
the applicant company and its own business units, campaigns and regional sites; nobody outside that organisation can register under it
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 coined, meaningless-outside-the-company corporate name owned by a single multinational that sells outsourced services to institutional buyers rather than shelf products, so the string's only job is to be the company's own identity and its value rests entirely on the firm's B2B reputation.
Same bet in a different trade: a short corporate brand for a multinational whose business is long-term service and maintenance contracts with building owners and facility operators, so the string carries a company identity aimed at procurement departments, not consumers.
Same bet structurally: an invented corporate name with no dictionary meaning, applied by one global B2B group that needs the string purely as its own house identity, with no category traffic or public demand attached to the word.
What a .sodexo domain is
.sodexo 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 .sodexo domain extension real yet?
.sodexo 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 .sodexo domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .sodexo name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .sodexo was .accenture, delegated on 9 May 2015.
Is .sodexo a real TLD?
Not yet. .sodexo is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .sodexo is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list of applied-for strings. Every entry on this page links to its source.
- SODEXO · first recordedICANN
- Band chosen: 10-29 (vanity/narrow). The record shows a single confirmed application of ICANN type brand by SODEXO, which places .sodexo in the closed single-registrant model: the only buyer is the applicant, and value lies in corporate identity use (country sites, service lines, campaign shortlinks, email trust) rather than in any market. It is not in the 30-49 band because there are no volume or price-driven registrations and no aftermarket at all; a closed brand TLD cannot be bought by third parties, so brand signal and resale strength are structurally zero outside the owner. It is not in the 1-9 band because the one buyer does have genuine primary-identity utility: by analogy (flagged as analogy), some brand TLDs from the earlier application round became the owner's primary web identity and site structure, while others were retired after limited use; a global, multi-country services company with many sub-brands and regional sites is the kind of owner for whom such a namespace has practical navigation and anti-phishing value. Precise adoption outcomes for analogous brand TLDs are unknown from the verified facts. Main market uncertainty: whether the owner actually migrates its primary web presence and customer-facing services onto the TLD within five years, or holds it defensively and keeps its existing identity, which decides whether the end-use utility is real or nominal.
