Expanding the Online Frontier

Welcome to Google’s domain registry. We’re really excited about the domains we’ll be offering. The Internet has always been first and foremost about self-expression, and the dawn of this era of hundreds of new domains marks one of the most unpredictable moments in the history of a highly unpredictable medium.

.EDU has always meant education, .GOV government, .ORG non-profits. Today's new domains are infinitely more open-ended. There will be new homes for creativity, for business, for explorers, comedians and professionals. What will .HOW mean? .EAT? .SOY? We have our ideas, but how you develop your piece of this online real estate is up to you. Whether you're a dad or a traveler, a developer or a movie maker, a Japanese speaker or a tour guide, the web, happily, is what you make of it.

Tier start times for the .page Early Access Program (EAP)

September 10, 2018

EAP is a 7-day period in advance of General Availability (GA) during which domains can be registered immediately. During EAP there is a one-time early access fee in addition to the usual annual price for the domain, which can vary depending on whether the name is standard or premium. This early access fee is one time and not charged for renewals. There are five different price tiers in EAP, starting with the highest tier and decreasing each day as follows:

2018-10-02 16:00 UTC — Tier 1 begins (highest price tier)
2018-10-03 16:00 UTC — Tier 2 begins
2018-10-04 16:00 UTC — Tier 3 begins
2018-10-05 16:00 UTC — Tier 4 begins
2018-10-06 16:00 UTC — Tier 5 begins (lowest price tier, lasts 3 days)
2018-10-09 16:00 UTC — GA begins (no more additional one-time fee)

Domain name registrars set the price they charge for each EAP tier, and prices may vary across registrars. In addition to EAP, there are also premium domains; these domains have higher prices that are independent of EAP. These premium prices apply to renewals as well as initial registrations, and also apply in GA.
