I’m sorry, but as of the time of writing, the top-level domain (TLD) “.KUOKGROUP” does not exist. Top-level domains, in the realm of domain names and World Wide Web, are the highest level of domain names in the root zone of the Domain Name System (DNS) of the Internet. Examples of these TLDs include “.com”, “.gov”, “.org”, “.net”, and “.edu”, as well as country-specific endings such as “.fr” (France) or “.jp” (Japan).
There is a specific system for applying and creating a new TLD, facilitated by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This is the organization responsible for coordinating the maintenance and procedures of several databases related to the namespaces of the Internet, ensuring the network’s stable and secure operation. As per ICANN’s guidebook, creating a new TLD is a detailed process with financial, operational, and technical criteria that need to be met.
Starting from 2012, ICANN implemented a new program providing the opportunity to apply for new generic top-level domains (gTLDs). Entities can apply for a new TLD corresponding to their brand, region, community, or main business. Google, for example, has the “.google” domain, and Amazon acquired “.amazon”.
That said, “Kuok Group” appears to refer to a multinational conglomerate, led by the Malaysian Chinese business magnate Robert Kuok. However, as of today, the Kuok Group has not secured a “.kuokgroup” TLD from ICANN.
For verification, you can use ICANN’s TLDs list that is publicly available via their website at data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt
In short, while “.kuokgroup” could theoretically become a TLD should the Kuok Group meet the application requirements set by ICANN, it is not currently an existing TLD. If Kuok Group wishes to establish it, they will have to undergo the application process with ICANN.
