No complete stable extension list is published; the service resolves eligibility in its live search.
A TLD on this list means the provider publishes a catch path for the extension. It does not guarantee that every expiring name is orderable or that registry eligibility rules are satisfied.

the operational details that decide whether a catch survivesCancellation
Use the listing deadline; payment is required after a successful catch.
Delivery
Delivery registrar and transfer conditions depend on the caught TLD.
Cautions
- Exact TLD eligibility must be checked live.
- Do not treat a live search result as a permanent coverage promise.
