.zoho
Is .zoho a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.zoho is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is ZOHO CORPORATION PRIVATE LIMITED.
A closed brand namespace for one software company; nobody outside it can buy a .zoho address, so there is no market to value.
the applicant company itself and its product teams, for product and service URLs under its own name; no outside buyer group
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 exactly: a privately-recognizable coined-word software vendor selling a multi-product suite to small and mid-size businesses, putting its single corporate brand on a TLD that only works if customers already know the company name — the string carries no meaning to anyone who doesn't.
A business-software vendor claiming its own corporate mark as a namespace it will mostly use for product and regional sub-brands (crm.brand, mail.brand), where the whole value rests on enterprise-side brand recall rather than on any generic demand for the word.
The closest structural twin in origin and string type — an Indian tech company's self-coined compound name applied for as a corporate identity namespace — though the underlying business is bought as IT services by procurement departments rather than as self-serve software by SMBs, so the buyer the name has to reach differs.
What a .zoho domain is
.zoho 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 .zoho domain extension real yet?
.zoho 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 .zoho domain?
You can’t yet. ICANN publishes every applied-for string on Reveal Day, 7 October 2026 at 18:00 UTC. A .zoho name can only be registered after that, once the string is delegated and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .zoho was .intuit, delegated on 12 July 2016.
Is .zoho a real TLD?
Not yet. .zoho is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .zoho 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/joke/narrow). The verified facts show one confirmed application, typed by ICANN as a brand TLD, from the company whose name matches the string, with no contention. On the assumption it is delegated, a brand TLD of this kind is reserved for the registry's own use, so there is no general availability and no aftermarket; the string's value accrues to the brand owner alone, as a navigational and trust signal for its product and account URLs. By analogy with earlier dot-brand TLDs from software and cloud companies (flagged as analogy), typical outcomes range from a handful of live redirect or product subdomains to effectively dormant delegations, and in some cases voluntary termination; sustained public-facing use at scale has been uncommon. It is not in the 30-49 band because registrations by third parties do not happen at all, so there is no volume or price-driven demand and no third-party primary-identity use. It is not in the 1-9 band because the brand owner has a plausible, if narrow, end-use: a software-suite vendor with many named products can use the namespace for product entry points and customer-facing links, which gives the address real utility to its single best-fit buyer. Main market uncertainty: whether the applicant will move its primary product and sign-in surfaces onto the TLD or keep it as a defensive hold, which decides whether it functions as a visible identity or sits unused over the next 5 years.
