General Availability (GA) is open-ended and it's when everyone can try to register the domain names they want in real time.
For most new gTLDs, we accept pre-orders for the General Availability launch on a first come, first served basis, and our systems will register domains the very second that General Availability begins. We accept only one pre-order per domain name, and you'll receive a full refund should we be unable to secure your domain name.

Governed by the registry and also known as Early Access, this phase allows customers to pay a premium to register their domain before General Availability begins. This is typically used to register popular generic terms and may include an auction.

Phase reserved to the owners of third-level domains registered before the 1st of December 2015

· Domain must have between 4 to 50 characters.

· The registration has to be in the name of the registrant of the corresponding third-level domain: com.ar, org.ar, net.ar.

· If a domain has more than one possible applicant, NIC will assign an application number” and at the end of this phase, the applicant will be able to make the corresponding payment if the domain has only one request. On the contrary, there will be a lottery to assign “priority” numbers to each applicant to make the payment. If an applicant does not proceed with the payment within the deadline set by NIC, the applicant with the second priority number will have the opportunity to pay the registration of the domain and so.
