Who can register .download domains?

Anyone can register .download domain names on a first-come, first-served basis.

Renewals

We'll attempt to auto-renew your .download domain on its expiration date. We'll park .download domain names after the first failed billing attempt. If the domain isn't renewed within 40 days following expiration, we cancel it and remove it from your account.

Nameserver requirements

Two nameservers are required for .download domains to resolve, and a maximum of 13 nameservers is allowed. DNSSEC, IPv4 and IPv6 are supported.
