Telegram may soon move beyond messaging and channels with a proposal that could allow users to create their own websites under a new .gram domain. The company has applied for the top-level domain, which, if approved, could give users personalized web addresses such as yourname.gram.
Telegram CEO Pavel Durov announced the application, suggesting that the proposed domain could eventually be offered across the platform’s large global user base. The idea would give individuals a new digital identity connected to Telegram while making website creation considerably simpler.
The proposed system could allow users to create interactive websites directly in Telegram, without having to purchase hosting separately or learn web development. Durov suggested that users could describe the kind of website they want through a simple prompt. Telegram could then potentially create and host the site, removing several steps normally involved in launching a website.
The feature could appeal to creators, small businesses, online communities, and individuals who want a personal webpage without dealing with traditional website-building platforms. Potential addresses could also become memorable. Examples such as pro.gram and dia.gram have already prompted speculation about how the domain could be used.
If the proposal becomes reality, Telegram's approach could simplify the process considerably. Creating a conventional website usually requires registering a domain, purchasing hosting, selecting a platform, and configuring the site.
The proposed .gram ecosystem could bring many of those steps together. Users would potentially only need to describe what they want and customize the resulting website. That could make web publishing more accessible to people without technical knowledge.
| Proposed Feature | What it Could Mean |
|---|---|
| .gram domain | Personalized Telegram-linked web address |
| Interactive websites | Pages beyond basic profiles |
| Simple prompts | Website creation without extensive technical skills |
| Telegram hosting | Potentially no separate hosting provider |
| Creator pages | Dedicated online identity for creators and communities |
The .gram domain is currently not available for registration. Telegram must first receive approval from the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which coordinates the global domain-name system. There is also no confirmed launch date, registration price, or clear eligibility policy yet. Telegram has not clarified if every user will automatically receive a .gram address if the proposal is approved.

If approved and eventually launched, .gram could mark a significant expansion of Telegram’s role online. The platform already combines messaging, channels, groups and communities. Personal websites could add another layer to that ecosystem.
For now, however, users will have to wait. Telegram’s .gram remains a proposal rather than an active domain service, and its future depends on ICANN approval.
