.truck
Is .truck a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.truck is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is Vant Nexus.
A niche TLD for trucking carriers, truck dealers and rental fleets, food-truck operators, and parts or upfitting businesses wanting a literal industry address.
Who is applying, and how much each already runs
Vant Nexus filed 3 applications across the round.
The nearest 2012 strings, and how many names each holds today
The closest 2012 string, .car, held 370 names, June 2026. .auto held 601; .motorcycles held 17,283. Chosen by AI from every string in the 2012 round, without being told what happened to any of them.
Identical bet: a singular, everyday generic noun naming a vehicle class, sold as the category address for dealers, manufacturers and marketplaces who want the whole vertical's plainest word as their front door.
Same wager on owning a vehicle-industry generic that an entire trade already uses to describe itself, monetized broadly across dealers, parts sellers and service businesses rather than by any single brand.
Also a vehicle-class generic serving a narrower, more purpose-defined segment than mass-market cars, so it shares the structure but rests on a smaller dealer-and-enthusiast registrant pool the way a commercial-vehicle string does.

What a .truck domain is
.truck is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, in our Commerce category. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list.
Is the .truck domain extension real yet?
.truck 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 .truck domain?
You can’t yet. A .truck name can only be registered once the string is delegated (added to the DNS root) and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .truck was .car, delegated on 9 September 2015.
Is .truck a real TLD?
Not yet. .truck is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .truck is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list of applied-for strings. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- Band chosen: 30-49, usable but limited. The string is a plain, globally understood English noun with a large and fragmented buyer base — freight carriers, owner-operators, dealers, rental and leasing fleets, parts suppliers, and the food-truck segment — so a project could plausibly use name.truck as a real primary identity, which keeps it above the 10-29 vanity band. It is not in the 50-69 band because, by analogy with existing vehicle-word TLDs such as .cars, .auto, .autos, .taxi, .limo and .boats, this class has shown weak organic adoption and little aftermarket depth (analogy; exact registration counts unknown); trucking firms overwhelmingly stay on .com and country-code domains, and a .truck address would still need explaining to shippers and lenders. The single applicant on record, Vant Nexus Technologies LLC of Dubai, is a neutral fact that suggests a small-registry launch rather than a channel-heavy push, which (by analogy with other single-applicant niche strings) modestly lowers the odds of broad registrar distribution in the first years. Main market uncertainty: whether pricing is set at commodity levels that let owner-operators and food trucks register at volume, or at premium levels like .cars/.auto, which historically kept volumes tiny (analogy; actual prices unknown).
