INSIGHT

Before reading the quote

01

Year 1 vs renewal

Some registrars hook with a low Year-1 promo and double the renewal — our quote lists both, no sticker shock at renewal time.

02

ccTLD eligibility

.com.hk needs a Hong Kong company; .com.cn needs ICP filing; .us needs US Nexus — these can't be bought outright. Plan the holding entity early.

03

Premium TLDs

.ai / .io registry fees can be 10–15× a .com. For AI / tech brands these belong in the core set, not the defensive perimeter — you'll hold them long-term anyway.

PROCESS

Four steps from check to renewal

STEP 01

Availability check

WHOIS lookup + trademark conflict analysis + typo-variant scan — assess obtainability and the surrounding attack surface.

STEP 02

Holder structure

Decide whether the registrant is a person or company, and whether the domain ownership needs an IP holding entity — affects future transfer, tax and corporate restructuring.

STEP 03

Register & DNS

File via an ICANN-accredited registrar, configure DNS records, enable WHOIS privacy where the registry permits.

STEP 04

Renewal & watch

Enable auto-renew with multi-tier reminders to avoid lapse; optional typo-squatter watch with monthly reports of new variants.

Engagement

Fee structure

Reference annual fees (HKD) per TLD scope. Premium TLDs swing more on registry fee; Tech TLDs depend on the registry policy.
