What is a Premium Domain Name?
Premium domain names are more valuable than typical domain names because they are based on common words and phrases.
Open Domain Names does not own these names, but is one of the few registrars offering them on behalf of their third-party owners. |
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
Why register variations of my domain name?
If the exact domain name you want isn't available, you may want to consider registering an alternative or related variation. This also prevents other people from infringing or capitalizing on your site by registering a name that is similar to yours. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
My domain is taken. How do I get it now?
If your search results say your domain is already taken, it means someone else has previously registered that name. To backorder the domain, check the box next to the backorder option and click "Continue". If you don't want to backorder the name, you can select from the alternate domain names provided or search again using a different TLD extension (.com, .net, .org, etc.), a variation of your original search or a different name altogether. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Why register different TLDs?
If your search results say your domain is available, you may want to consider also registering the same name with additional TLD extensions (.com, .net, .org, etc.). This prevents other people from infringing or capitalizing on your site by registering the same name with a different TLD. |
