.post is a proposed top-level domain for the internet, submitted to ICANN for approval as a sponsored TLD. It would be restricted to the use of national and regional postal services^[1], and private businesses that provide similar services.

As of January 2008, approval and implementation has not yet happened, overshooting the deadline of 2005.^[2]
