The .vip TLD just walked into the GoLive club and now it’s already making it rain half-price domains at $9.75 only, instead of the usual GoLive price of $19.50 per year, from May 17, 2016 at 5:00 PM PDT until 4:59 PM PDT on August 31, 2016.
At 50% off, you get two for the price of one, so it’s like having a +1 on the .vip list.
Gandi is proud to present .vip this Tuesday May 17. Tickets are $19.50 each (i.e. per year). You don’t have to be on any list, you don’t have to even be all that important. Doors open at 9:00 AM PDT for this all ages event. It could be a full house, so get in line now.
Back up, back up. We’ve got a very important TLD coming through: .vip. Today it enters the Sunrise phase, which will last until 4:59 PM PDT on May 8, 2016. This TLD is obviously VIP-only, the Sunrise phase is really for the top crust. Domains in this extension will sell for $1078.74 per year, and you’ll have to show us your SMD file (from TMCH) to prove you’re VIP enough to own the trademark on it.
There won’t be any Landrush phase for this TLD, but it will enter the GoLive phase at 9:00 AM PDT on May 23, 2016, when the doors will open to all VIPs for just $38.65 per year at A rates.
The Gandi v5 platform has been deployed now for about 2 years. Many features have been added to it and we continue to update and improve it regularly.
We are planning to definitively close the v4 customer web interface. Please migrate your account by logging in to https://www.gandi.net/ to start the migration process.
