Why we're doing this

An address that still means a person.

My children are artists and musicians. They're uncertain of what the future will be for them. I want everyone who is human-centered to know that even in an age of AI, there is still a public space dedicated to their human creativity and identity.

Claim your .human name

People gathered around a table, meeting as people first: one address that means a person.

New domain extension

The .human gTLD: a domain extension built for people

Generic top-level domains (gTLDs) are the suffixes after the dot in an internet address: .com, .org, .ai, and hundreds of others. .human is a proposed new gTLD applied for through ICANN as a namespace reserved for people. It is a new domain extension, not a replacement for .com, but an additional choice for personal websites, email, and digital identity.

This page is the official pre-registration campaign for .human. Search for the name you want, claim a free priority registration, and track your claim in the .human portal. ICANN approval and delegation are not guaranteed; every name remains subject to Sunrise, Trademark Clearinghouse, and reserved-name rules at launch.

Questions, answered

The fine print, plainly

What is the .human domain extension?

.human is a proposed new generic top-level domain (gTLD), also called a domain extension or top-level domain string. It is applied for through ICANN and is meant to be an internet address for people: distinct from .com (commerce), .org (institutions), and .ai (agents). Human Centered Holdings has applied to steward .human if ICANN awards it.

How do I pre-register a .human name?

Search for the name you want on this page. If it is available, complete the free claim form with your first name, last name, and email. That records a priority pre-registration claim. You can optionally purchase a First Human Founder's Box afterward.

Is .human a new gTLD?

Yes. .human is a new gTLD in the ICANN new generic top-level domain program. Delegation is estimated between 2027 and 2028 and is not guaranteed. Pre-registration here is a priority claim with Human Centered Holdings, not a live registry registration today.

Does this cost anything?

Claiming a .human name is free. You are holding a priority claim, not buying a domain today.

Is the name I pick guaranteed?

No. You are holding a priority claim, not a guaranteed name. We've applied for the .human registration with ICANN, but we may have competitors for the name. At the moment, we're the only applicant who is offering the public the opportunity to pre-register their claim. By buying a First Human Founder's Box, you strengthen our chance of winning a contention with a competitor and bring yourself one step closer to securing your .human name.

Why do you need my address?

We don't need your address to claim your priority name, but we do need it if we're going to ship your Founder's Box (optional). We'll also need it when the time comes for the actual registration. Your address can be filled in anytime through the online portal.

How long do you hold my reserved name?

If you claimed your name for free, we'll invite you to complete your registration when the registry launches. If you're one of our Founding Members (includes the first year's registration fee), we'll register your .human using the information you provided to us.

When does .human launch?

ICANN has estimated delegation between 2027 and 2028. Unfortunately this is not within our control and ICANN will prioritize the release of new strings through their internal processes. This doesn't change anything for you. We'll hold your name right up to registration day.

What is First Human Founding Membership?

After registering your name with us, you can join us as a First Human Founding Member. The membership includes some limited edition merch and the first year of registration to .human.

Can I get a refund?

First Human memberships are final and non-refundable, except where a refund is required by law. If you are charged twice or hit a genuine payment error, we will make it right. If .human is not awarded, you keep the physical mailer. There is no cash refund. See the Refund & Fulfillment Policy.
