Get Your Ideal Domain to Invest in Your Startup’s Success!

A premium domain name is a high-quality domain name that is often shorter, more memorable, and has high search engine ranking potential. Premium domain names are also reserved by registries and have a higher price than regular domain names. These domains are more expensive to register and renew because they are highly desirable.

This offer is available to qualified startups and companies that meet our eligibility criteria. To be eligible, you must fill out the application form, provide all the necessary information, and your eligibility will be determined by NicNames and the registry partner.

There is no time limit for the premium domain name itself. The offer to register the domain for free is valid for one year from the registration date. After the first year, you can renew the domain at the standard renewal rate or apply for an extension at a discounted rate.

You will need to provide your company name, country of incorporation, incorporation status, pitch deck URL, video URL (optional), a brief description of your startup (elevator pitch), the reason for choosing the domain, and your email address. We also collect information to create the administrative contact for the domain name, as the application details will be used to register the domain to the same company if approved.

Applications are typically reviewed within 3 business days. You will be notified via email once your application has been reviewed.

No, each startup can apply for only one free premium domain or one free regular domain. This helps ensure that as many startups as possible can benefit from this offer and prevent abuse. Applications for regular domain names will be treated the same way as premium domain names. The difference is that only certain domain zones participate in this offer for premium domains, while all domain zones are available for regular domains.

If your application is denied, we will create an invoice for you to register the domain at the regular price. If possible, we will add a discount for the registration. You can also reapply with additional information or documentation to support your application.

Yes, but only after the first renewal. This means that the first year will be free, then you must renew the domain for the next year. After that, you can transfer the domain to another registrar. Additionally, during the first year, you cannot change the owner of the domain until after renewal. Once renewed, you are free to transfer or change information for the domain.

Our customer support team is available to help you with any questions or issues. You can contact us via email, phone, or live chat on our website.

We take your privacy and security very seriously. All information submitted through our website is encrypted and stored securely. We do not share your information with third parties without your consent.

You will receive a reminder email before your domain expires. You can renew your domain through your NicNames account at the standard renewal rate or apply for an extension at a discounted rate if eligible. Renewals can be done at any time, even immediately after receiving the free domain for the first year, through your NicNames account or closer to the expiration date.

After the first year, you will need to renew your domain at the standard renewal rate. Discounted rates may be available based on your eligibility and application. For regular domain names, the renewal rate is standard. For premium domain names, the renewal rate is higher than the regular renewal rate.
