Ontology notes[edit source]

Our ontology consolidates IANA's more granular status indicators into five major groups.

Submitted[edit source]

This group covers the early lifecycle stages, including statuses such as “Application Received,” “Under Evaluation,” or “Pre-delegation Testing.” Any TLD that has been proposed and is pending further processing falls into this group.

Delegated[edit source]

Once IANA officially assigns a TLD—typically labeled “Delegated” or “Delegated, pending production”, but before the TLD reaches full operational stability, it is classified in this phase.

Active[edit source]

TLDs that are fully operational and in production are labeled by IANA as “Active” or “Production.” These are domains that are live and reliably answering DNS queries.

Retired[edit source]

This category collects TLDs that are in a controlled decommissioning phase. IANA reports and board resolutions may refer to these states as “Retiring” or “Retired for transition.” Such domains are no longer intended for new registrations.

Removed[edit source]

TLDs that have been completely expunged from the DNS root zone fall into this group. IANA assigns this status once the deletion process is complete. An example is .zr, the ccTLD from the former country of Zaire.
