Who is Nirvana Inc?
We are a husband and wife business aspiring to become first time GTLD registry operators. Although we have experience working in the domain name industry, we have never had the opportunity to operate a GTLD ourselves.
What is a GTLD?
A GTLD (generic top-level domain) is the extension to the right of the dot, such as .com, .net, or .online.

ICANN is the global nonprofit that oversees the internet’s domain name system and approves new GTLD applications.
When will Nirvana apply for a GTLD?
ICANN plans to open the next application window in April 2026.
What is the cost?
The base ICANN application fee is over $160,000 KYD ($200,000+ USD) with additional costs for technical, legal, and operational requirements. We hope to receive financial and pro bono support in order to apply for the GTLD.
What GTLD is Nirvana applying for?
Due to the competitive nature of GTLD applications, we cannot disclose the GTLD we are interested in applying for.
When will Nirvana's GTLD launch?
We hope to launch our GTLD in late 2026 or early 2027 if our application is successful.
Where will Nirvana's domains be available to register?
Once launched, domains will be available through accredited registrars such as GoDaddy, Namecheap, Dynadot, and others.
