.RIP is the new generic domain devoted to fostering memories of those who passed away. .RIP stands for "Rest in peace" or "requiescat in pace" in Latin, the phrase used to say final good byes and pay respect. With the .RIP domain, people can remember their loved ones and express their grieving. The .RIP extension can help people find comfort and connect to others. Support networks can also use the domain to assist with healing and coping.
.RIP is a new generic Top-Level Domain (Faith & Religion gTLD) announced by ICANN, the Internet domain authority. The New gTLD Program`s goal is to enhance competition, innovation, and consumer choice. You can see it as your opportunity to get that perfect domain which has been taken by someone else. The introduction of .RIP domain extension is divided into three phases: Pre-registration, Sunrise and Landrush. After Landrush period, the .RIP domain will become public and registrations will be available to everyone (General availability).
If you are not a brand owner, before General availability you are allowed to take part only in the first phase and pre-register your desired domain names within .RIP. The use of our gTLD pre-registration module is free of charge and without any obligation to buy later on. We will keep you updated on future developments related to your preregistered domains, including information about pricing and regulations, once these have been announced by the registry responsible for a given gTLD. Please note that pre-registration of .RIP is not a queue. Although we will try our best, we cannot provide any kind of guarantee that pre-registration will eventually lead to successful registration of your chosen domain within the .RIP extension.
If you wish to secure your rights to a specific domain name, please choose our Managed TMCH Submission service which offers trademark owners a simple yet efficient way to monitor and protect their brands. It is also the only way by which trademark owners can participate in designated Sunrise periods.
For non-trademark holders Pre-registration of .RIP will be available until General availability.
