Premium Domains

Premium Domains are a new type of domain introduced by some TLD registries. While not every TLD supports them, you may have one with another provider, or you may come across one while registering a domain.

The most obvious difference between a premium domain and a normal domain is that they're marked with a tag indicating that they're premium. You will see this tag when searching for domains in the Domain Registration page.

You are still able to perform domain actions as normal on these domains. There are no limitations that aren't present on a regular domain.

Pricing

The price of a premium domain is higher than a regular domain - with the exact price being variable. As a result, we do not offer tiered pricing for these domains.

There are two types of premium domains:

  • Fixed Price: These domains have the same registration, transfer, and renewal price, but are more expensive than a regular domain.
  • Variable Price: These domains have a higher registration price, but a cheaper transfer and renewal price.

For domains above a certain price, it may take longer than usual for the domain to register.
