# Automattic applies for 16 new top-level domains, including .matt

Automattic, the company behind WordPress, has applied for up to 16 new top-level domains, including .matt, .wordpress, .woo, .tumblr, .craft, .hire, .human, .jazz, .make, .mesh, .pod, .pop, .robot, .soul, .story, .vibe and backup strings like .php. The company already runs .blog, which has around 375,000 registrations. Several of the new applications, such as .wordpress, .woo and .tumblr, are dot-brand domains, while .matt appears tied to founder Matt Mullenweg’s first name.
