The launch for Donuts domains is divided into three pre-registration phases: Trademark Holder (Sunrise), Priority Pre-Registration (Early Access) and General Availability. Each phase has specific application requirements. For more information, see Registering Donuts domains.

Anyone can register Donuts domain names.

These domain names can have up to 63 characters, with a minimum of one character, and can contain letters (a to z), numbers (0 to 9), and hyphens (except as the first or last characters of the domain name). You cannot register domain names with special characters such as & and #.

New gTLD extensions take domain names to the next level. They let you get a domain that is specific to you, easy to remember and tells your online visitors exactly what you do.

You can register Donuts domain names for a minumum of one year and a maximum of 10 years.

We'll attempt to auto-renew your domain name on its expiration date, but will park domain names after the first failed billing attempt. If the domain name isn't renewed within 40 days following expiration, the domain name will be cancelled and removed from your account.
