We will follow until it is released. If we catch it, we email you right away.
How a .paris drops
From expiry to release, five streets to cross
A .paris follows the usual cycle of generic domains. Expect roughly 75 to 80 days between the expiry date and the moment the name is free again.
- 1stepRue de l'Expiration
The name is not renewed by its expiry date. That date is public.
- 2stepPassage du Délai de grâce
Up to 45 days, depending on the registrar, when the holder can still renew as usual.
- 3stepImpasse de la Rédemption
About 30 days when only the holder can get it back, for a restore fee.
- 4stepQuai de la Suppression
5 days of final deletion. Nobody can restore it any more.
- 5stepPlace de la Libération
The name is free. The first valid registration takes it. This is when we try.
Standard cycle for generic domains. The .paris registry is the City of Paris, with Afnic as technical operator. Exact periods can vary by registrar.
An expiry date everyone can see
Unlike some country domains, a .paris shows its expiry date in the public directory. A good name that expires is spotted by several services. The higher your maximum, the more resources we commit to getting there first.
What happens after you ask
Your maximum sets our effort
The higher the price you give us, the more resources we commit to catching the name, and the better your chances.
We follow the name
Its status is checked from expiry until the end of the deletion period.
We try to register it
Our registration attempts go out the moment the name is available.
If we catch it, you hear from us
You get an email as soon as the name is secured, with the next steps. If it is renewed or restored, your request ends at no cost.
Questions
Does it cost anything to send a request?
No. Nothing is charged when you send the form. You only pay if we catch the name for you.
Why does my maximum price matter?
The higher your maximum, the better your chances. We put more resources into catching the names with the highest offers. The minimum is €100.
Can you guarantee I will get the domain?
No. Other services try to catch the same names, and the first valid registration wins. Nobody can promise a catch.
When should I send my request?
As early as you can, ideally before the expiry date. A request is still useful as long as the name has not been released.
What if the holder renews or restores the name?
The name stays with them and your request ends. Nothing to pay or cancel.
Can I backorder names that are not .paris?
This page only takes .paris names.
