.培训
Is .培训 a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
Nobody is chasing .培训, as of 7 October 2026. One applicant claimed it and is out. We keep the entry on the record either way.

China's training market is big, but Chinese-character web addresses are rarely used as a business's main identity, so demand stays thin.
vocational, professional, and corporate training providers in mainland China and Chinese-speaking markets seeking a Chinese-script web identity
In Journey To The West's published portfolio of 323 strings submitted in the ICANN 2026 round; a Chinese-script IDN (“training”, A-label xn--2js261j). Their catalog line: “Building skills for the next step.”
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.
It is the same word — a plain generic noun for the commercial short-course/coaching sector — making the identical bet that every training provider wants its category as its address, differing only in which language market is being sold to.
A single Chinese-script generic service-category noun sold to an entire vertical of Chinese-language businesses, carrying the same structural bet (whole-sector identity plus the IDN resolution and input hurdle) that the target makes.
Also a non-English education/learning generic betting that a specific linguistic market will brand its schools and tutors in its own word rather than in English, though it sits in Latin script and so avoids the IDN input barrier.
What a .培训 domain is
.培训 is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under Culture. Nobody is chasing .培训 today. The applicants that claimed it are out.
Is the .培训 domain extension real yet?
.培训 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 .培训 domain?
You can’t yet. A .培训 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 .培训 was .training, delegated on 28 December 2013.
Is .培训 a real TLD?
Not yet. .培训 is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because an applicant claimed .培训 and is no longer in it. We keep the entry, and every entry on this page links to its source.

- The underlying vertical is genuinely large: vocational, professional, and corporate training is a major sector in Chinese-speaking markets, though parts of consumer tutoring have faced regulatory tightening that clouds one big buyer segment. The binding constraint is the script, not the sector: by analogy with earlier Chinese-script IDN gTLDs such as .在线 and .公司, registrations tend to be speculative or defensive, renewal-driven volume is fragile, and very few businesses adopt an IDN domain as their primary identity — navigation in China runs through search, app ecosystems, and super-app accounts rather than typed URLs. Also by analogy, in-country resolvability and marketing depend heavily on registrar and regulatory accreditation dynamics, which historically throttle IDN TLD uptake. That places it in the 10-29 band: not 30-49 because there is little evidence (by analogy) of sustained volume or brand signal for niche Chinese IDNs, and not 1-9 because the string is a common, commercially meaningful word with a real registrant pool. Main market uncertainty: whether Chinese-script domains ever shift from defensive registrations to primary-identity use among SME training providers within 5 years.
