Registration Information
The .CONSULTING launch is divided into three phases: Trademark Holder (Sunrise), Priority Pre-Registration (Landrush) and General Availability. Each phase has specific application requirements:
Trademark Holders Registration - Sunrise
From April, 16 2014, at 17:00 UTC (10 a.m. AZ time) to June 16, 2014, at 17:00 UTC (10 a.m. AZ time), trademark holders can submit an application to register a .CONSULTING domain containing their owned mark, before it's available to the public.
