Who can register .protection domains?
Anyone can register .protection domain names on a first-come, first-served basis.
Domain Renewals
We’ll attempt to auto-renew your .protection domain on its expiration date. We’ll park .protection 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.
Nameserver requirements
Two nameservers are required for .protection domains to resolve, and a maximum of 13 nameservers is allowed. DNSSEC, IPv4 and IPv6 are supported.
