How Does Pre-registration actually work?
Hostway have defined the
'Pre-registration' period as being the period running up
to the date of registry 's opening for Sunrise applications -
ie the 9th of October. By requesting your .asia domain name in
the usual way through our orderform now, you will be offered a
selection of choices by which to submit your registration
request, these are:
- Trademark Sunrise (Sunrise Application Fee applies)
- Organization Sunrise (Sunrise Application Fee applies)
- Landrush Period (no fee)
- Ongoing Period (no fee)
Notes:
- Pre-registrations submitted before October 9th (date of
registry opening for Sunrise applications) are effectively
queued for submission to the .asia registry at the appropriate
time. Hostway take care of this for you, and will ensure the
best possible chances of success.
- Depending on which type of pre-registration you choose,
your order will be submitted to the registry at that alloted
time. Ie - if you select 'Landrush' as you
pre-registration option, your order will be queued and
submitted only when Landrush opens. Please consult the .asia
Pre-registration and Sunrise timeline on our FAQ
page.
- Where more than one request is submitted to the registry
for a specific .asia domain, an auction process will result.
See the FAQ once again for more details.
