In just a few months, one of the biggest opportunities on the internet in the last decade opens up: applications for new Top-Level Domains (TLDs). If you’re planning to apply when the window opens on April 30, 2026, you are most likely already deep into your business planning – thinking through not just the technical and financial requirements, but how you’ll position your TLD for long-term success.

Do you know how many domains matching your brand exist in the world but aren’t owned by you? Most brands use some level of monitoring to try and identify this but from a global perspective, very few are aware of their risks in the deep and dark places on the web.
