Try to register through Gandi. They give you options that decrease in price all the way down to ~$16 -- that's the "get it when it GAs" price. If someone scoops it up before you, you're refunded. Otherwise, it's yours.
I managed to get <lastname>.dev, and it's a somewhat common last name, for $133.50 on the "GA" pricing. I expect someone will grab it before then. But if not...
- qnk 8y agoNah, it says "Unavailable" on Gandi. It seems that somebody paid full price, although it is not operative => mauricio.dev
- CydeWeys 8y agoUnfortunately, 'mauricio' is on the global domain reserve list administered by ICANN, so it cannot be registered on any ngTLD. I believe it's Mauritius in another language?
- qnk 8y agoOh, interesting, yes this is "mauritius" in Spanish a not so common name. I didn't know this, thank you for pointing it out. I guess that list is recent as mauricio.com and mauricio.co belongs to regular people and are currently working. Do you happen to have a link to said list? A quick googling returned nothing relevant for me.
- jtuente 8y agoI believe item #3 on this page is relevant: https://www.icann.org/resources/country-territory-names#reserved https://www.icann.org/resources/country-territory-names#rese...
- CydeWeys 8y agoYeah that's it, it's Mauritius in Spanish apparently. ICANN definitely went overboard on these required reservations, but of course we have no choice but to comply.
- CydeWeys 8y ago.com is a legacy gTLD, which existed long before these restrictions were codified in 2012 for the new gTLD program. .co is a ccTLD (it's for Colombia), and ccTLDs also predate the gTLD program and are not subject to the gTLD program restrictions besides.
- ehsankia 8y agoIt'll be 12$ on get.dev once it hits GA.
- dsl 8y agoI looked up [firstname].dev and it says even in GA it will be $360/yr because it is a premium name.
