I’m sorry, but as of my current knowledge and available sources, there’s no Top-Level Domain (TLD) named ‘.lipsy’. Top-Level Domains (TLDs) are the last part of a domain name – typically what follows the final dot, like .com, .org, etc. These are overseen by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). ICANN organizes these into three categories: generic (gTLD), country-code (ccTLD), and infrastructure.
According to ICANN’s list of current TLDs, there’s no ‘.lipsy’. The closest there is in terms of spelling would be ‘.tips’ or ‘.city’. However, ICANN also facilitates new gTLD applications, so it’s theoretically possible for ‘.lipsy’ to exist in the future if an entity applies for it and goes through the required processes.
In terms of technical description, all TLDs work the same. They form a critical part of the Domain Name System (DNS), acting as a directory for the internet. It’s essentially an address book that translates human-readable web addresses (like ‘www.example.com’) into IP addresses (like ’192.0.2.44’) that computers use to talk to each other.
If ‘.lipsy’ ever becomes a TLD, it will likely be a gTLD, reserved for a specific organization or purpose. For example, ‘.gov’ is exclusively for U.S. government entities, ‘.edu’ for educational institutions, and so forth. Given the sound of ‘.lipsy’, it might be reserved for a fashion brand, a software, or any business with ‘Lipsy’ in its name.
However, as of this writing, ‘.lipsy’ isn’t a registered or existing TLD. One must always check ICANN’s updated list or consult with domain registration authorities for the most accurate information.
For more information about TLDs, you may check:
1. ICANN’s website (www.icann.org)
2. Network Solutions, LLC’s guide on domain names (www.networksolutions.com)
3. The DNS System’s technical description at the Internet Society (www.internetsociety.org)
Please note that if you’re looking to establish a unique TLD like ‘.lipsy’, it’s quite a comprehensive process involving ICANN’s new gTLD application system, financial investment, passing a series of evaluations, ensuring you meet requirements for registry operations, etc.
Please consult the Applicant Guidebook furnished by ICANN available on their site for a more detailed understanding of the process and the requirements involved.
