Who can register these domains?
Anyone can register domain names on a first-come, first-served basis.
Renewals
We’ll attempt to auto-renew your domain on its expiration date. We’ll park domain names after the first failed billing attempt. If the domain isn’t renewed within 40 days following expiration, we cancel it and remove it from your account.
