The Early Access Period works like a "Dutch Auction". Dad-Domains are getting cheaper by the day.
If you are interested, please send us an email to get the details.
The Dad-Domain is the ideal domain for organizations and companies that target fathers or parents.
Google Registry writes about the new Dad-Domains:
".Dad is a secure domain for dads. Whether youre a dad who wants to start a blog
or someone showing appreciation for the father figures in your life, .dad is the
place for fatherhood-related content".
Google Registry clarified:
"The proposed gTLD will provide the marketplace with direct association to the term, 'Dad-Domain'. The mission of this gTLD, .Dad-Domain, is to create a premiere online destination where registrants can offer and users can gain access to ideas, products, services and information about fathers and fatherhood."
The standard Dad-Domain costs 39 US-Dollars/year at the General Availability.
It is advisable to pre-register for the individual phases now in order to secure your desired domains in good time.
You can pre-register your name at the Dad-Domains here. The pre-registration of the Dad-Domain is
free of charge but binding. If we secure the name you want for you, you will have to pay the domain fee.
The standard Dad-Domain costs 39 US-Dollars/year at the General Availability.
For many domain extensions, domains at the sunrise period are more expensive than the domains at the General Availability.
Standard and Premium Dad-Domains at the Sunrise Period cost as much as at the General Availability - and you still get a 15% discount.
The entire .Dad-Domain TLD has been added to the HSTS preload list, which means registrants will have to provision and set up SSL certificates in order for their content to be loaded in modern browsers
The Dad-Domain is a secure namespace, meaning that HTTPS is required for all .Dad-Domain
websites. You can buy your Dad-Domain now, but in order for it to work
properly in browsers you must first configure HTTPS serving. You can acquire webspace with pre-configured encryption at us without any additional costs or SSL Certificates.
Whether you're building a website for school, launching a side project, or expanding your
business's online presence, there are basic steps to take to protect your website's content and
your users' information (especially if you are collecting personal or financial information).
1. Install a SSL certificate. As a website creator, you should ensure that traffic to your
website is HTTPS-encrypted. By encrypting traffic to a website, you ensure that any
communications to or from that website cannot be seen by an eavesdropper. If you were
to mail a letter that contains a private message or your personal information, would you
rather send it on a postcard or in an envelope? The envelope is the physical equivalent of
HTTPS because it prevents parties who have access to the envelope on its way to the
recipient from reading or changing its contents.
Installing SSL allows you to encrypt data on your website. Websites that have an SSL
certificate use HTTPS, as opposed to HTTP (which means that a connection is not
encrypted). Major browsers may also show a lock sign next to a secure connection and
warn users if the website is not secure.
How to get SSL:
You can buy webspace at us and get at one click installed SSL for free or you fetch yourself free certificates at Let's Encrypt
2. Make sure your entire website is encrypted.
Many website owners donft realize that a single page that isnft encrypted could
potentially be used to gain access to the rest of the website. To avoid this, you need
encryption on your entire website, not just for pages that are collecting credit card
numbers or log-in info. Even unencrypted landing pages that redirect to an HTTPS page
can pose risks. A single page that is unencrypted can become a backdoor for bad
actors to snoop on the rest of the site.
