Simple pre-order pricing

Pre-order any .DOT name to be first in line — or fast-track today during Sunrise if you own a trademark. Premium names are charged the registry retail price (the $100 deposit applies only under $1,000 retail).

Pre-order

$100

Be first in line · open to everyone

Pick any name and pre-pay to reserve a first-day registration attempt. We attempt to register the moment General Availability opens on November 2, 2026.

  • $100 for a non-premium .DOT name
  • Premium domains: registry retail price (the $100 deposit applies only under $1,000 retail)
  • Reservation of a first-day registration attempt slot
  • Submission as soon as broader registration opens
  • 100% credit toward another domain if registration is unsuccessful (or 80% cash refund)

Once paid, your application is Pending — we do not accept concurrent .DOT applications for the same name through domain.dot. Registration not guaranteed.

Why .DOT?

Own your namespace

yourname.dot is short, technical, and unmistakably yours — a builder-native address that reads like code.

Reduce brand confusion

Securing your exact match early helps reduce lookalike and squatting risk once the namespace opens.

Be first in line

Pre-order now and we attempt registration on day one of General Availability. Trademark owners can register today. First-come, first-served within each phase.

Want updates?

Pre-order any .DOT name now to be first in line. Public registration is projected to open on November 2, 2026, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. Leave your email and we'll send updates when broader registration opens.

Important registration terms

.DOT registrations are subject to registry policies, registrar rules, trademark validation, TMCH/SMD requirements, domain availability, premium/reserved/blocked status, and applicable fees. Submission of an application does not guarantee registration.

.DOT may have additional restrictions during limited registration periods. Some registrations may require payment-related use or eligibility based on registry policy.

Premium, reserved, or blocked names may require manual review. Premium retail fees are billed separately from the service tier when applicable.

Refund policy. If the registration is unsuccessful for any reason (registered in an earlier phase, another registrar was faster, registry refused, name became reserved/blocked) we automatically credit 100% to your domain.dot balance — apply it to another .DOT domain or any name on NicNames.com. Prefer cash? Request an 80% refund to your original payment method instead. The 20% difference covers our processing, TMCH/SMD work, and submission attempts.

No concurrent applications. Once your payment for a .DOT name successfully completes, your application enters Pending status and the search marks the name as Reserved. We do not accept concurrent paid applications for the same name. Unpaid invoice requests and pending card authorizations do not reserve a name.
