Where to submit or watch

profiles and launch-order pages remain separate

Select a registrar to view its price and policy profile. The action on the right opens the verified launch page. A “watch” route sends alerts only; it does not reserve a domain.

Webnames lists all three launch windows. Its public explanation says a preorder is charged only if the registry registration succeeds; confirm the selected phase in checkout.

The domainer decision

pay for timing, not for ambiguity
01 · protect

Use Sunrise only for a real mark

Budget for TMCH validation and registrar setup. A similar-looking generic term is not automatically an eligible exact match.

02 · value

Price the EAP day against the name

The access fee is one-time, but it buys only an earlier attempt. Premium registry pricing and standard registration can still sit underneath it.

03 · execute

Do not confuse queue position with certainty

Preorder terms, refund rules and submission timing differ. A free preregistration is often a notification, not a reservation.

04 · hold

Wait for the official schedule

If the registry has not set a date, neither do we. This helps you avoid premature orders based on unconfirmed estimates.
