Adorable .moe domains look well on the way to becoming a reality, as ICANN has just approved their creation.
ICANN, the body responsible for administering and approving new top level domains, has just issued a preliminary approval of Japanese company Interlink’s application for the creation of the “.moe” and their CEO is hopeful that the new domain will be available soon.
With little meaningful left to register under the traditional TLDs, ICANN has been busily adding increasingly liberal new domains, ranging from the controversial “.xxx” to the likes of “.google,” “.map” and so on, to the general relief of those stuck finding all the good names under traditional TLDs have been taken and the general annoyance of those who now have to pre-emptively buy up vast numbers of new domains in order to head off malicious squatters.
Other Japanese TLDs applied for include .playstation, .nhk, .docomo, .canon, .gree, .goo, .nico, and localities such as .tokyo, .osaka, .ryukyu, .yokohama, etc. An American company has apparently requested the creation of “.ninja.”
Interlink say that if the contract goes through in October they are planning to begin sales of the .moe domain to anyone who wants one.

Next, .tsundere?
.yandere
.dandere
Well there is yande.re which is an anime image hosting site
another good one is pant.su
D-Don't misunderstand!
It's not like I'm loading for you or anything, baka!
DO WANT!
eh, well you tried.
aww yeah!
That sounds like a good idea.
D-don't get me wrong! It's not like I was praising you or anything! I-it's just that, uh...
Oh yeah! It's just that the .moe domains are gonna sell out too quickly! Yeah, THAT'S the ticket!
still waiting for ".loli"
You could always register lo.li (Liechtenstein)
I don't think you can register a domain name of under 3 characters.
There's xe.com, the currency converter website.
There is even the Soviet Union domain .su, so yes, two letter domains can exist. Even for long disbanded pieces of the past.
.ga (Gabon) allows 2 letter domains too. It all depends
It depends entirely on the top level domain. (each has its own rules)
But I imagine all two-character domains would be gone in the first minute they were available, and "lo.li" doesn't seem to be registered, so yeah, it doesn't seem to be possible to get two character domains under .li.
does that mean that austrians are loli's neighbours?
loli.du
but some hater anon take it down
Now that is what I call a Domain!
HAHGAHAHA nice idea dude
.moe, home to all things kawaii
I need .kyun so i can register moemoe.kyun
When's .cum?
Only one question remains: Will there be sankakucomplex.moe?
sankaku isn't moe, its hardcore tsundere for aya, china, akb, and pretty much everything else with the exception of to love ru.
Next: ".nya"
Success granted.
Apparently there is ".an" but it's on it's way out, so no "ny.an" domain for us.
I guess that leaves ".cat" (Catalonia).
Note: .cat requires the site to be in Catalan or have at least a Catalan language option (I checked). This is ok for apps I guess.
Finally I will register 'www.thethreestooges.moe'
Yep, while Otaku celebrate .moe, the rest of the world will be wondering why there isn't a .larry, and .curly as well.
Derp
Someone just opened pandora's box.
Did you mean "pandoras.box"?
Waiting for .yandere
Waiting for .imouto
Progress my friend.
I got zettai-ryouiki.moe pre-réserved on MANY registars. :3 But? Is this a news? it's been mounth that we already know it.
mouais :)
You're wasting your money with a dash in your domain name. Never use it.
why? it improve readability, and last time i checked, i still get top result on google search with a dash on my domain.
What about .LOLI
Now they need to approve .larry and .curly
Moeception.moe
At last, I can create my Moe Szyslak web shrine!
I wonder who gets is.moe… :}
I have no use for a domain but I probably will buy one just because it's .moe
ICANN? AND IM NOT TALKING ABOUT SOME REAL INSURANCE! MAKE YOUR MONEY MY MONEY!
