.tableau
Is .tableau a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.tableau is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is Salesforce.
A closed brand domain for one company's product; no open registrations, so it carries no market value for anyone else.
the applicant itself, Salesforce, for its Tableau product's own web addresses; no outside buyers can register names
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: an enterprise data-software vendor claiming an ordinary dictionary word as its sole corporate identity, so the registry's value rests entirely on the company's B2B brand equity outrunning the word's generic meaning.
Same bet from the same buyer type — a single analytics-software vendor putting its primary corporate identity on a string nobody else can use — differing only in that the brand is an acronym rather than a common noun.
Also a common-word brand carried by a single enterprise data/cloud platform, but it is a product name sitting under a much larger parent identity rather than the company's whole identity.
What a .tableau domain is
.tableau 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 .tableau domain extension real yet?
.tableau 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 .tableau domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .tableau name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .tableau was .oracle, delegated on 3 March 2015.
Is .tableau a real TLD?
Not yet. .tableau is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .tableau 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 a single confirmed application by Salesforce with ICANN application type brand, so this is a closed dot-brand: the only party that can hold an address is the operator, and 'value to its best-fit buyer' collapses to the brand's internal utility. By analogy (flagged as analogy), dot-brands from the earlier round tended to be used for a handful of redirect, campaign or product URLs, with few becoming the primary identity in place of the established .com, and a number were retired without ever serving public content; aftermarket value is structurally zero because there is no resale. It is not in the 30-49 band because there are no registrations at volume or on price and no third-party demand at all. It is not in the 1-9 band because the string is a well-known product name with a genuine, if modest, end-use: product subdomains, documentation, status or community addresses under a memorable, phishing-resistant namespace that a serious product team could plausibly adopt within five years. The word 'tableau' is also a common French and English noun, but a brand-type application means that generic meaning will not translate into an open market. Main market uncertainty: whether the operator actually migrates meaningful product traffic or developer surfaces onto the TLD rather than leaving it as a defensive, redirect-only registration.
