Whether you're a journalist, blogger, news publication or book publisher, .press is the ideal platform to grow your online reach and relevance while adding credibility to your brand. Pre-register your .press domain today to establish your authority on the Internet!
The .press launch is divided into three pre-registration phases: Trademark Holder (Sunrise), Priority Pre-Registration (Landrush) and General Availability. Each phase has specific application requirements:
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 pre-register for Sunrise, Landrush and General Availability phases, 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. Application fees will not be refunded.
From June 24, 2014, at 16:00 UTC to Aug. 23, 2014, at 16:00 UTC, trademark holders can submit an application to register a .press 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.
