BIBLE HAS STARTED PRE-DELEGATION TESTING

The .BIBLE top-level domain (TLD) Registry reaches another significant milestone this month, as Pre-Delegation Testing has started with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to ensure the stable and secure operations of the technical infrastructure.

Upon successfully passing this testing period, the .BIBLE top-level domain will be introduced into the root zone of the Internet, known as delegation. After that occurs, the specific dates for an ICANN-mandated registration phase for trademark holders can be set and announced.
