Premium domains are domains the registry is offering for a premium price.
Transfer, additional years of registration, renewal, and restoration of a premium domain are charged at a different price from the base price.
Premium domains contain a great deal of advantages:
- memorable short names (long or difficult to spell domain names are hard to remember)
- highly brandable
- more traffic
- to be found on internet, nothing is as powerful as a premium domain name
- perfect for search engine optimization
- instantly associated with a service or product
- direct navigation (customers type the domain name directly into their web browser)
In most cases, a premium domain name pays for itself in no time.
Our system is easy to use and can be operated safely.
It is not possible to order a premium domain accidentally.
You can simply use our control panel or our API.
No matter which service you use, it is necessary to confirm the premium price before ordering a premium domain making it impossible to buy a premium domain by mistake.
Just search for your desired domain name. We will perform a search using the name you entered and provide a list of alternate domain names you may be interested in registering as well.
To purchase a premium domain name, add it to your shopping cart and proceed through checkout. The corresponding API-Commands can be found below.

Below you will find an example "CheckDomains" command for a so called "Premium" domain:
REQUIRED
[COMMAND] command = CheckDomains domain0 = <DOMAIN> premiumchannels = * EOF [RESPONSE] PROPERTY[PREMIUMCHANNEL][0]=RIGHTSIDE PROPERTY[PRICE][0]=xx.xx PROPERTY[REASON][0]=Premium Domain Name PROPERTY[DOMAINCHECKTIME][0]=0.032 PROPERTY[CLASS][0]=PREMIUM_RIGHTSIDE_P PROPERTY[CURRENCY][0]=USD PROPERTY[DOMAINCHECK][0]=211 Premium Domain name available [PREMIUM] DESCRIPTION=Command completed successfully CODE=200 QUEUETIME=0.001 RUNTIME=0.208
The "CLASS" parameter have to be used at the AddDomain command:
command = AddDomainApplication class = PREMIUM_RIGHTSIDE_P ...
In order to explicitly renew a premium domain you have to query the premium class of the domain first.
The premium class is returned as SUBCLASS from a StatusDomain command and it always
starts with PREMIUM_ for premium domains. If the optional parameter properties=PRICE is also provided then
the response also includes the fee for a renewal with the default renewal period:
REQUIRED
[COMMAND] command = StatusDomain domain = <PREMIUMDOMAIN> EOF [RESPONSE] ... PROPERTY[SUBCLASS][0]=PREMIUM_REGISTRY_TIER ... EOF
The SUBCLASS of the premium domain has to be provided as CLASS parameter in an explicit
renewal request in order to renew a premium domain:
REQUIRED
[COMMAND] command = RenewDomain domain = <PREMIUMDOMAIN> class = PREMIUM_REGISTRY_TIER EOF [RESPONSE] ... CODE=200 DESCRIPTION=Command completed successfully PROPERTY[DOMAIN][0]=<PREMIUMDOMAIN> PROPERTY[EXPIRATIONDATE][0]=2020-02-20 12:00:00 ... EOF
