2-character .SAARLAND domains are available for registration!

February 10th, 2014

The dotSaarland GmbH released 2-character domain names for registration.

The Sunrise period for these domain names runs until March 19, 2015. During the Sunrise Period, trademark owners with a valid SMD file (Signed Mark Data) can apply for 2-character .SAARLAND domain names that correspond with their brand. The 2-character domain names that are not registered in the Sunrise Period, will be offered as regular premium domain names as of March 26, 2015. A list of all premium names will be available here as of mid-February.

During the current Sunrise period for 2-character domain names, all IDN types and the following 2-character number and letter combinations are available: number/number, number/letter and letter/letter. Excluded are country-code domains (ccTLDs) and terms that are generally blocked by ICANN or according to registry policy.

This is no "first come, first served" Sunrise. In case of multiple successfully validated applications, the allocation will be determined by auction between the eligible applicants.
