Registration Information

The .CONSULTING launch is divided into three phases: Trademark Holder (Sunrise), Priority Pre-Registration (Landrush) and General Availability. Each phase has specific application requirements:

Trademark Holders Registration - Sunrise

From April, 16 2014, at 17:00 UTC (10 a.m. AZ time) to June 16, 2014, at 17:00 UTC (10 a.m. AZ time), trademark holders can submit an application to register a .CONSULTING domain containing their owned mark, before it's available to the public.

Trademark validation goes through the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH), which is an ICANN global repository for trademark data. Visit the TMCH website for information on registering a trademark.

Bulk .CONSULTING registration is not supported during this phase.

Priority Pre-Registration - Landrush

From June 25, 2014, at 17:00 UTC (10 a.m. AZ time) to July 14, 2014, at 17:00 UTC (10 a.m. AZ time), customers can purchase .CONSULTING domain names at a premium price. A registration fee is collected when the registration request is submitted.

Multiple Priority Pre-Registration applications with different registrars are resolved via auction. If, for some reason, you don't get the domain you want, we'll refund your registration fee.

Bulk .CONSULTING registration is not supported during this phase.
