.mazda
Is .mazda a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
.mazda is not contested. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list, as of 7 October 2026. It is Mazda.
A single-company brand address: useful to Mazda for its own sites and dealers, with no market for anyone else.
the applicant brand itself and its dealer, regional and campaign web properties; no third-party buyers
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 mid-sized Japanese automaker putting its single corporate marque on the right of the dot, where the string's whole value is the existing trademark and the only constituency that could ever use it is the company and its dealer/parts network.
Identical bet — a global Japanese car manufacturer claiming its own house brand as a closed corporate namespace, worth exactly as much as the mark's recognition and nothing as a word.
Same kind of string doing the same job: a founder-surname-derived Japanese automotive marque taken as a brand TLD, defensive by nature, with identity flowing from the company to its dealers rather than from any open category of registrants.
What a .mazda domain is
.mazda is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, in our Brand category. One application for it is on ICANN’s Reveal Day list.
Is the .mazda domain extension real yet?
.mazda 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 .mazda domain?
You can’t yet. A .mazda 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 .mazda was .suzuki, delegated on 2 July 2014.
Is .mazda a real TLD?
Not yet. .mazda is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because .mazda 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/narrow), at the top of it. The verified-facts block records one application for .mazda, by Mazda Motor Corporation, typed as a brand application, with contention count 1; no category tag is recorded. A brand-type TLD is, by analogy with the dot-brand pattern of the prior gTLD round, a closed namespace with registrations limited to the operator and its affiliates, so there is no aftermarket at all and the only 'buyer' is the brand. The value question therefore collapses to end-use utility for one company: can .mazda plausibly become the primary identity for the brand's own corporate, regional, dealer and campaign sites over the next 5 years. By analogy (flagged as analogy), automotive dot-brands from the earlier round have ranged from substantial operational use (dealer-level and country-level addresses under a maker's own TLD) to near-dormant defensive holdings, and I cannot assert which outcomes applied to which strings or in what numbers. Why not the band above (30-49): that band assumes open registrations at volume or on price with a thin aftermarket; a closed brand namespace has neither registrations by others nor any resale value, so the resale half of the scale is structurally zero. Why not the band below (1-9): there is a realistic, if single-buyer, market — a global automaker with a dealer network and many regional sites is a serious potential primary-identity user of its own TLD, and the brand-match of the string is exact and memorable. Main market uncertainty: whether the operator actually migrates customer-facing properties and dealer addresses onto the namespace (which would push the score toward the top of the vanity band or just above it) or holds it defensively with a handful of redirects, which is the more common analogous outcome and keeps it in the low 20s.
