What is a domain name?
A domain name is a unique address or identifier on the World Wide Web. One easily recognizable example is google.com: Type that domain name in your browser address bar, and the worldwide system of name servers connects your computer to the content of the Google web site.
Domain names are sometimes referred to as the real estate of the World Wide Web. A domain name gives you exclusive rights to a unique parcel on the Internet landscape.
What is a Premium Domain?
Premium Domains are highly desirable, privately owned domain names offered at a price higher than we normally charge for domain names. These domain names have an established Web presence and a solid traffic history, and are offered at prices commensurate with their value as Internet real estate.
For Premium Domains, you pay the higher price once. In future years the renewal rate is the usual low rate charged for any domain name with that TLD (the extension, such as .com).
How do I find out whether the domain name I’m interested in is available?
Log in. In the "Register A Domain" text box, type the domain name you want to register. Click "GO". The response shows whether the domain name you typed is available, and also shows alternatives and Premium Domains.
If none of the suggested domain names meet your needs, use the search box to check the availability of another domain name.

What is preconfiguration?
Preconfiguration is providing contact and organization information that some country registries require.
Preconfiguration information is often used by registries that have "presence requirements"—requirements that the registrant and/or other contacts live or have documented organizations in the country.
What if I change my mind, or spell a name wrong. Can I get my money back?
