The domainer decision
pay for timing, not for ambiguityUse 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.
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.
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.
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.
