Starting 7th May, you can pre-apply for their list of desired .ME Domains at an amazingly low pricing of just INR 2499  per year (fully refundable). The .ME registry is following the auction model for domains that will receive more than one application during the Landrush period.

Why.ME?

.ME is about YOU! With a .ME domain, the Internet will, quite simply, be all about YOU. .ME has incredible potential for Internet users world-wide. It is one of the recent TLDs approved by ICANN and is expected to be utilized as both a Personalized Web address and as a catchy business marketing tool around the world. For the first time in Internet history, domain names are essentially personal.

Who can register a .ME Domain Name?

Anyone is eligible, and no trademarks are required.

What is Landrush?

Landrush is a limited period wherein anyone can apply for their preferred Domain Names before the actual registrations go Live.

How does the .ME Landrush Process work?

The .ME Landrush will take place between 6th June and 26th June, 2008 during which the Registry will be accepting applications for .ME Domain Names. You can, however, start pre-applying for the Landrush right away, through us. The actual allocation of the Domains will take place after the Landrush ends. When you apply for a .ME Domain Name, there could be 2 possible scenarios -

  • You are the sole applicant: In case you are the only one applying for the concerned Domain Name throughout the Landrush, then the Domain Name will be allocated to you post the Landrush.
  • There are multiple applicants: In case there are more than one applications for that Domain Name, you will need to participate in an auction process to acquire the domain name. You will thus be able to register that Domain Name only by placing the highest bid for it. This auction will take place shortly after the Landrush. If any of your domains do qualify for an auction, you will be notified of the date of the auction and the auction site URL. In addition, you will be sent credentials (via email) that must be used prior to the start of the auction to establish a qualified bidder’s account.
Note:
  • You will not be able to view the .ME Domain Names that have been applied for, in your respective Control Panels during the Landrush. Only once a Domain is successfully registered, you will be able to view/manage it in the Control Panel.
  • You will be required to register for a minimum of 2 years, as mandated by the .ME Registry.
