About .CASA Domain Names
"Casa" is both the Italian and Spanish word for "house," making it a prime domain name for real estate agents, designers, builders, renovators and more! The .casa domain name will help expand any business even tangentially involved with the housing market.
Pre-Registration Information
The .casa launch is divided into three registration phases: Trademark Holder (Sunrise), Landrush and Pre-Registration (General Availability.) Each phase has specific application requirements:
Pre-Registration
Pre-registration gives you the best possible chance of securing a domain name before it's available to the general public, but it doesn't guarantee you will get it. You can register for Sunrise and Landrush and pre-register for General Availability phases, and we'll submit your registration application when the phase begins.
Multiple applications with different registrars are resolved on a first-come, first-served basis during General Availability. If you aren't able to secure the domain name, we'll refund the registration fee. Application fees will not be refunded.
Trademark Holders Registration - Sunrise
From November 5, 2014 at 16:00 UTC to January 5, 2015 at 16:00 UTC, trademark holders can submit an application to register a .casa domain containing their owned mark, before it's available to the public.
Trademark validation goes through the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH), which is an ICANN global repository for trademark data. Visit the TMCH website for information on registering a trademark.
Bulk .casa registration is not supported during Sunrise.
If you aren't able to secure the domain name, we'll refund the registration fee. Application fees will not be refunded.
NOTE: You cannot cancel your pre-registration application. If you are awarded the domain name, you have 5 days to cancel your domain name and get a refund of the registration fee only.
