What will 2026 bring to the domain name industry?

• A surge in .brand extensions: Major corporations like Toshiba have already paved the way by moving their entire digital infrastructure to branded TLDs. In 2026, expect more Fortune 500 companies to ditch .com for the security and authority of their own name.
