.survey
Is .survey a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
Nobody has applied for .survey in its own right, as of 7 October 2026. Intercap named .survey as the backup string of its .forms application.
A clear, single-purpose word: handy for feedback links and surveying firms, but few would make it their main web address.
businesses and researchers that run customer or public surveys and want a memorable feedback link, plus land-surveying and market-research firms
Nobody has applied for .survey in its own right.
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: a generic activity noun for soliciting opinions, aimed at CX/research SaaS and enterprise response-collection pages, where the main pull is a functional utility label rather than a brand anyone would stake a primary identity on.
Same bet shape: a B2B data-practice category noun whose buyer is a research/measurement firm or tool, and which only works if such firms will put a descriptive service word in front of their own name.
Same family of opinion-data nouns sold on the promise that sites built to gather and publish what people say will brand on the collection word itself, though its buyer skews to publishers/affiliates rather than instrument vendors.
What a .survey domain is
.survey is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, in our Commerce category. Nobody has applied for .survey in its own right. It is named on ICANN’s list as part of an application for another string.
Is the .survey domain extension real yet?
.survey 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 .survey domain?
You can’t yet. A .survey 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 .survey was .feedback, delegated on 10 April 2014.
Is .survey a real TLD?
Not yet. .survey is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because ICANN’s list names .survey as part of an application for another string. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- Band chosen: 10-29 (vanity/narrow), at its top. The string is an unambiguous English generic with a real functional use: a company pointing acme.survey at a feedback questionnaire, or a research or land-surveying firm using it descriptively. That function keeps it out of the 1-9 band. It does not reach 30-49 because the dominant use is a secondary, campaign-style address rather than a primary identity; survey tooling is concentrated in a handful of SaaS platforms whose customers reach questionnaires through platform-hosted links, so demand is likely event-driven and low-volume, with a thin aftermarket. By analogy (flagged as analogy), single-function generic strings from the earlier new-gTLD round such as .review, .vote and .tips drew registrations mostly on price promotions or for narrow projects and did not become identities serious projects chose by default; .survey is a narrower word than those. On the record, the applicant is Intercap Registry Inc. (application IRI2679T-T28359, standard type), filed as a replacement string for .forms with no contention recorded; that neutral fact suggests a portfolio-style launch pattern, which affects adoption likelihood only via marketing reach. Main market uncertainty: whether any large survey or forms platform would offer branded .survey links to its customers, which is the one path to real volume; absent that, demand stays at the hobby and descriptive-firm level.
