Ok, I am really confused about this. There is a .me domain I would like to register (will not divulge the name) at GoDaddy. However it says that because it is the Landrush period, somebody can bid against me. It also says that the domain is available, does this mean nobody else has tried to register it? Also, I have to pay just over $100 to register it, so if it does go to an auction and I lose it, will I be refunded? I know that the domain I am thinking about will be worth $x,xxx to $xx,xxx, but this is my first time doing anything like this (registering in landrush period) so I am a bit confused. Thanks guys.
Didn't even know about this, but according to the official website, http://www.domain.me/, you can find all info. What is the rollout schedule? May 1 15:00 UTC (Universal Coordinated Time) - May 6 17:00 UTC: Montenegrin Sunrise May 6 17:00 UTC - May 20 17:00 UTC: General Sunrise May 20 17:00 UTC - June 6 15:00 UTC: Quiet Period June 6 15:00 UTC - June 26 17:00 UTC: Land Rush June 26 17:00 UTC - July 17 15:00 UTC: Quiet Period July 17 15:00 UTC: Open Registration Also ALL domains will be auctioned, http://www.domain.me/index.php?page=15#20 Check their list of Reserved and Premium names, which cannot be registered. As their lists are extremely extensive, your domain is very much likely to be on that list. http://www.domen.me/cms/site_files/dotME_Reserved_Names.txt http://www.domen.me/cms/site_files/dotME_Premium_Names.txt In short, even worse than the .ASIA domain registration...
