NAME – is a popular gTLD domain. NAME is a generic top-level domain used in the Internet domain name system. The name comes from the word “Name,” indicating it was originally intended for sites of various topics. Today over 100,000 names are registered in NAME. No documents are required to register the NAME domain.
Registration of NAME domains is automatic, with no restrictions. This means the domain can be used immediately after paying for registration.
The NAME domain control panel lets you change domain contacts, configure NS, renew the domain, or enable Privacy Protection.
You can buy a NAME domain for a term of 1 to 10 years. After the domain’s term expires, the NAME domain owner has 28 days (the ARGP period) to renew the domain.
