About .FASHION Domains – Cheap Domain Registration

The .fashion domain name is becoming increasingly relevant as fashion overtakes the online community. Whether it’s starting a new fashion line, critiquing the latest sartorial developments from the industry, or drumming up funding for new designers, the .fashion extension can cover basically every angle.

Registration Phases

The .fashion launch is divided into two registration phases: Trademark Holder (Sunrise) and Pre-Registration (General Availability.) Each phase has specific application requirements:

Pre-Registration

Pre-registration gives you the best possible chance of securing a domain name before it’s available to the general public, but it doesn’t guarantee you will get it. You can only pre-register for General Availability, and we’ll submit your registration application when the phase begins.

Multiple applications with different registrars are resolved on a first-come, first-served basis during General Availability. If you aren’t able to secure the domain name, we’ll refund the registration fee.

Trademark Holders Registration – Sunrise

From February 4, 2015 at 16:00 UTC to April 6, 2015 at 16:00 UTC, trademark holders can submit an application to register a .fashion 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 .fashion registration is not supported during Sunrise.

If you aren’t able to secure the domain name, we cannot refund the application fee.

You cannot cancel your pre-registration application. If you are awarded the domain name, you have 5 days to cancel your domain name and get a refund of the registration fee.

Pre-Registration – General Availability

Beginning April 15, 2015 at 16:00 UTC, customers can register .fashion domain names on a first-come, first-served basis.

Bulk .fashion registration is supported during General Availability.

Multiple applications with different registrars are resolved on a first-come, first-served basis during General Availability. If you aren’t able to secure the domain name, we’ll refund the registration fee.

If you are awarded the domain name, you have 5 days to cancel your domain name and get a refund of the registration fee.
