A few days ago, the pre-registration period for the .GAMES domain was officially opened and will last only a few months before these domains are released to the general market. So, if you are an athlete, gamer, or just a sports enthusiast, this might be the ideal domain extension to look forward to.
How To Buy Your Preferred .GAMES Domain
During the Sunrise period, the only people allowed by the Trademark ClearingHouse to register exact match domains that match particular trademarks are those who already own those trademarks. So, if you happen to own a trademarked company, sport franchise, or console, this is your perfect opportunity to buy your favorite domain before anyone else does.
On the other hand, anyone that do not have a trademark for a domain will have wait a little longer to acquire the domain. However, you only have to wait until September 14 when the Early Access period for the .GAMES domain opens officially. During this period, you will be able to register your preferred domain before the masses are granted the opportunity to do so albeit at an extra cost. After a week (September 21st) the General Availability period will be up.
