FAQ
Who is eligible to register a .BOX domain?
There are no eligibility requirements. .box is an open and unrestricted TLD. HOWEVER, there are strict technical requirements around the provisioning and payment process for registrars. The registry provides unique security standards for registrants using proprietary blockchain technology.
What are the requirements of the Sunrise phase?
The standard ICANN requirements for the Sunrise phase will apply. Only trademark holders and their agents are eligible for the Sunrise period. In order to join the Sunrise period, they must be registered with the Trademark Clearinghouse and provide a Signed Mark Data (SMD) file to the registrar. Registrars are still required to support the unique security standards for registrants using proprietary blockchain technology.
How can I sign the RRA?
Registrars need to reach out to the registry operator to obtain a copy of the RRA to review and execute via DocuSign.
What is the wholesale cost of a .BOX domain?
Please speak with the Registry.
Does this require special EPP extensions?
Registrars are required to utilise the Launch Extension to manage the release of new domains during Sunrise and Landrush, and the Trademark Claims period for gTLDs. More detailed information can be found in the Operations Manual in the registrar console or here.
Will a registry lock be available and if so, what would the process be and how much will it cost?
Registry lock is currently not available.
Will IDNs be available and if so, for which languages?
.BOX currently supports the Chinese (simplified and traditional) IDN language tables.
When is .BOX available in the ot&E for testing?
.BOX is currently available in OT&E.
Will .BOX show up in my standard CentralNic registrar account?
Yes, .BOX will operate through your standard CentralNic registrar account. Billing will be handled outside of the CentralNic system and this will not appear on the standard invoice.
