The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has announced the launch of a new website dedicated to the second round of generic top-level domains (gTLDs) starting in the second quarter of 2026. This move comes as a part of ICANN's continuous efforts to expand and enhance the domain name system.

In the upcoming round of gTLDs, domain investors can look forward to new opportunities to invest in and register unique and innovative domain extensions. With the introduction of new gTLDs, businesses and individuals will have a chance to secure domain names that better represent their brand, industry, or interests. Stay tuned for updates on the application process and key dates related to the second round of gTLDs as ICANN continues to roll out information on their new website.
