# Interlink applies for .neko new gTLD with ICANN

Interlink says its subsidiary ISII has applied for the new top-level domain .neko in ICANN's 2026 Round of the new gTLD program. Interlink says that after the Reveal Day disclosure on October 8, 2026 it found no other applications for the same string, and that ISII would act as applicant and registry operator if approved.

## in plain words

A Japanese internet company wants to create a new web address ending in .neko, which means cat in Japanese. It has asked ICANN, the group that manages web addresses worldwide, for permission. The plan is not approved yet.
