I’m sorry, but as of my latest knowledge update in October 2021, there is no top-level domain (TLD) named “.VIVA”. Top-Level Domains are the highest level of domain names in the root zone of the Domain Name System on the internet. They sit to the right of the “dot” in a domain name. Common examples include “.com”, “.edu”, “.gov”, “.org”, and “.net”.
There are also country-specific TLDs like “.us” for the United States or “.fr” for France, among others. Furthermore, ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, has expanded the domain name system to include so-called “generic” TLDs (gTLDs), like “.bike”, “.clothing”, “.singles”, and many others. These gTLDs provide an opportunity for organizations to define their web presence by the nature of their business, rather than the more generic “.com” or “.biz”.
Despite the wide range of existing TLDs, “.VIVA” does not currently exist as a TLD. ICANN occasionally opens application periods for new gTLDs, during which any organization can apply to create and manage a new TLD. However, this process is long, complicated, and expensive, so most new gTLDs are registered by organizations with a strong interest and substantial resources.
This doesn’t mean a “.VIVA” TLD couldn’t exist in the future. If there were sufficient demand and a willing registry, it could become a reality the next time ICANN opens for new gTLD applications.
This information is based on the data available on ICANN’s official website, a recognized leading source in domain name system management. ICANN is a non-profit organization responsible for coordinating the maintenance and procedures of several databases related to the namespaces and numerical spaces of the Internet, ensuring the network’s stable and secure operation.
For more on gTLDs or the process of creating a new TLD, you can visit ICANN’s website or the World Intellectual Property Organization’s website, which oversees disputes about domain names.
However, please note that this answer is up-to-date only as of October 2021, and it could change if the “.VIVA” TLD is introduced in the future.
