The application is a free and helps you find available .COM,.NET ,.TV and .Name domains,based on your profile information.You will only have to login via Facebook or fill the information manually ,and the application will give you a list of domain names you can register.

How do you get the suggested names?

Our application uses multiple methods for suggesting names. It takes into account your profile information (such as location, career, first and last name) and matches it up with modifiers such as “family” or “fan”.

How does the favorites button work?

Once you login, you’ll see a domain suggestion that is available to register. If you click “favorite” it will be saved to your favorites folder (which you can see any time at the bottom of the page).

How do I save my favorites?

Once you’ve gathered a some favorited domains, simply expand the tray at the bottom of the app and click the “save” button. You’ll then be provided with a few different ways to save your list. It is important to note that saving a domain in the app does NOT prevent others from registering the domain, so if you find one you really like we recommend registering immediately.

I’ve found names I want, now what?

Verisign has relationships with over 900 registrars worldwide. Click the “claim” button next to any of your favorites or near the suggested domain. Simply choose your preferred provider and register the domain or domain(s) you like best.

You need to check whether or not any of the names you have chosen are either offensive or might infringe on the rights (including trademark rights) of others.

Will you post to my facebook page without my consent?

Nope, never. While we will provide opportunities for you to share domains you like, we will never auto-publish any activity you make on the app. We use your facebook profile info to provide relevant to domains, not to spam you or your friends.

ICANN: Community Priority Election: Now Open for Early Election

At the request of New gTLD applicants, ICANN is offering a means to indicate their intent to elect for Community Priority Evaluation (CPE) prior to the launch of CPE operations.

Starting today, applicants that have applied as a community and are in string contention may signal their intention to pursue CPE. These applicants will be messaged directly through the Customer Service Portal to provide them with instructions to opt for CPE early election.

This early election will not have any bearingon the timing or start date of the Community Priority Evaluation processes, nor is it intended to contradict the Applicant Guidebook in any way. Early election is not a guarantee of eligibility to proceed with CPE.

For applicants that are uninterested or ineligible, no action is required.
