Telegram Applies for .gram Domain to Offer Personalized Web Addresses
Telegram has applied to ICANN for the .gram top-level domain as part of the 2026 expansion round. If approved, Telegram's billion-plus users could create personalized web addresses like yourname.gram and set up interactive websites hosted by Telegram using simple prompts. The initiative aims to simplify web presence creation without traditional hosting. The application is pending ICANN's approval, with details on registration and fees yet to be announced. The .gram domains would function as Telegram-managed subdomains.
