Premium Domains

What is a premium domain name?

A Premium Domain is a high-value domain name that has been identified by the Registry (the organisation that manages a specific extension like .com, .net, or .ai) as having significant market value. It is a domain name is a domain that has been reserved or restricted, either temporarily or permanently, by the domain registry, or is owned by an individual. These domains are often shorter, more memorable, and contain popular keywords that can boost SEO and brand recognition.

Because of their high demand and branding potential, these domains carry a higher price tag than "standard" domain registrations.

Why choose a Premium Domain?

  • Memorability: They are usually short (2-4 characters) or consist of common dictionary words that are easy for customers to remember.

  • SEO Advantage: Many contain high-volume search keywords, which can help your website rank better in search results.

  • Brand Authority: Owning a category-defining name (e.g., Coffee.shop vs. MyNewCoffeeBusiness.shop) establishes instant credibility.

Detection and Pricing

Please note that we cannot always determine if a domain is classified as "Premium" until the purchase process is initiated.

While we strive to provide accurate pricing in our search results, the final status of a domain is determined in real-time by the Registry. In some cases, a domain may appear at a standard price during your initial search. Still, the Premium status and its associated higher fee may only be revealed once we attempt to secure the name from the Registry.

Please Note:

  • Registry Discretion: Premium lists are managed solely by the Registry and can change without notice.

  • Renewal Fees: Unlike standard domains, many Premium domains also have higher renewal fees. Always check if the higher price applies only to the first year or if it is a recurring cost.

  • Suitable Alternative: If a domain is identified as Premium after you have paid a standard fee, we will notify you immediately to either pay the difference or assist you in securing a suitable domain option. Our team will work with you to find a high-quality, standard-priced alternative that fits your brand goals and budget, applying your initial payment toward the new selection.
