Gardening serves a purpose in providing essential food and nutrients, but it also eases the soul and creates an outdoor space of beauty and reverence. The .garden domain is perfect for actual gardeners, landscape architects, urban designers, community leaders and any other garden enthusiast.
Registration Phases
The .garden launch is divided into two registration phases: Trademark Holder (Sunrise) and Pre-Registration (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 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.
From February 4, 2015 at 16:00 UTC to April 6, 2015 at 16:00 UTC, trademark holders can submit an application to register a .garden 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 .garden registration is not supported during Sunrise.
If you aren't able to secure the domain name, we cannot refund the application fee.
Note: 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.
