.tutorial
Is .tutorial a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
Nobody has applied for .tutorial in its own right, as of 8 October 2026. Identity Digital named .tutorial as the replacement string of its .shield application. Identity Digital named .tutorial as the replacement string of its .loop application.
A clear, descriptive name for how-to sites, but a narrow niche most creators serve from platforms, so demand stays modest.
independent educators, developer-documentation publishers and how-to content sites that want a descriptive address like topic.tutorial, mostly as a secondary or project identity rather than a company brand
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.
Same bet: an undifferentiated English noun for a unit of instruction that anyone teaching anything could claim, sold to instructors and course publishers who have no natural claim on the word and must supply their own authority.
Same bet on a content-format noun — a how-to artifact rather than an institution — where the buyer is whoever publishes the explanation, so the string's value rests on the format being the identity.
Same generic-instruction category bought by the same teach-something-to-someone market, but it names a commercial service with corporate L&D budgets behind it rather than a free-floating piece of self-serve content.
What a .tutorial domain is
.tutorial 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 .tutorial in its own right. It is named on ICANN’s list as part of an application for another string.
Is the .tutorial domain extension real yet?
.tutorial 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 .tutorial domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .tutorial name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .tutorial was .courses, delegated on 25 February 2015.
Is .tutorial a real TLD?
Not yet. .tutorial is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because ICANN’s list names .tutorial 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. The string is a plain English word with an obvious semantic fit (react.tutorial, piano.tutorial), so genuine primary-identity use by small educational publishers and developer-doc projects is realistic, and the applicant on record is a portfolio registry operator (Identity Digital, via Mythic Link, LLC; filed as a replacement string for .loop), which by analogy to other portfolio TLDs typically means broad registrar distribution and standard-tier pricing that lets volume-on-price registrations happen. It is not in the 50-69 band because the category is largely platform-captured: by analogy, most tutorial creators publish on video and course platforms and treat a domain as optional, and comparable education-flavoured descriptive TLDs (.guide, .how, .academy, .training, .education by analogy) have produced low-profile registration bases with thin aftermarkets rather than sustained demand that needs no explaining; the string is also long and competes with those already-delegated near-synonyms. It is not in the 10-29 band because demand is steady and use-case driven rather than event-driven or joke-driven, and a how-to site can defensibly use the name as its actual identity. Main market uncertainty: whether independent tutorial publishers value a bespoke descriptive domain at all over platform presence, and whether any search or discoverability benefit draws enough of them to form a visible registration base. All comparisons to existing TLDs above are analogy; no figures for them are in the verified-facts block.
