ICANN has published the list of domains that hundreds of companies are battling over. ICANN has controversially agreed to open up registrations on custom generic top-level domains.

These cost a pretty penny, but can be anything from .love to .map. The registration period ended recently and ICANN has now published the full list of top-level domains companies want.

There are 1,930 applications and, while plenty are unique, i.e. there's only one company trying to buy it, for example .google or .amazon, some are highly disputed such as .love or .app. Over 500 companies and organizations are fighting for the domains.
