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

A Chinese word for home renovation; the trade is big, but Chinese-character web addresses rarely become a business's main identity.
Chinese home-renovation and interior-decoration companies, contractors, and design studios marketing to mainland consumers — mostly as a campaign or defensive registration rather than a primary identity.
In Journey To The West's published portfolio of 323 strings submitted in the ICANN 2026 round; a Chinese-script IDN (“renovation”, A-label xn--8uqq99k). Their catalog line: “Turning empty space into home.”
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 as 装修 ("renovation/interior fit-out"): a plain Chinese-script generic noun for a fragmented, locally-transacted service trade, sold to thousands of small owner-operated firms who must be willing to put their primary identity on a CJK-script namespace rather than a .cn or .com.
Also an East Asian-script generic category noun anchored in the home/household spend cycle, sold to the merchant and supplier side of that vertical, though its buyers are retailers and manufacturers of a product category rather than contractors selling a labor service.
The identical category-and-buyer bet in Latin script — an unowned generic trade noun that building and fit-out firms would claim as their industry address — but it carries none of the IDN-adoption wager that is half of what has to be true for 装修 to work.
What a .装修 domain is
.装修 is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, filed under Commerce. Nobody is chasing .装修 today. The applicants that claimed it are out.
Is the .装修 domain extension real yet?
.装修 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 .装修 domain?
You can’t yet. A .装修 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 .装修 was .餐厅, delegated on 30 May 2015.
Is .装修 a real TLD?
Not yet. .装修 is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because an applicant claimed .装修 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 — home renovation is a heavy-advertising consumer services category in China — but the addressing habit works against the string: by analogy with earlier Chinese-script IDN TLDs (e.g. .公司, .网络, .在线-style keyword strings), registration volumes and especially genuine primary-identity use have been thin, with Chinese businesses defaulting to .com/.cn and, increasingly, to WeChat/Douyin presences where a domain matters less. That places it in the 10-29 band: memorable keyword, shallow demand, rarely a serious primary identity. It is not in the 30-49 band because, by analogy with prior Chinese vertical IDNs, neither price-driven volume nor a meaningful brand signal has materialized for strings like this; it is above the 1-9 band because a real, ad-heavy trade exists whose firms plausibly buy such names for campaigns or defense. Main market uncertainty: whether universal-acceptance and Chinese-input habits improve enough in the next 5 years for consumers to actually type Chinese-character URLs in a consumer-services vertical. The applicant's large multi-string portfolio (323 strings per the facts) is consistent with a breadth strategy rather than a single-TLD community push, which tempers expectations for concentrated adoption marketing.
