About .FIT Domain Names

Physical fitness is more than just a trend for millions of people: it's a way of life. The .fit domain creates an online epicenter for all fitness lovers, whether amateur or professional. The .fit extension is ideal for featuring sports equipment, nutrition advice, workout tips or guidance for healthier living overall.

Registration Phases

The .fit 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 18, 2015 at 16:00 UTC to April 20, 2015 at 16:00 UTC, trademark holders can submit an application to register a .fit 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 .fit 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 29, 2015 at 16:00 UTC, customers can register .fit domain names on a first-come, first-served basis.

Bulk .fit 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.
