.CHANNEL domain name - Generic

.CHANNEL is a unique extension in that it is inscribed in the HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) preload list. This means that a .CHANNEL domain is contingent upon having an HTTPS configuration. Any .CHANNEL domain without a valid SSL certificate set up will not load in major browsers. Fortunately, your .CHANNEL domain registration with EuroDNS includes a free SSL certificate, so you’ll be all set!

.CHANNEL is exclusively for content creators and publishers to monetise their content. All .CHANNEL domains must present the user with a website where the creator can monetise their content or audience. No other use cases are allowed. By registering a .channel domain, you agree to follow the .channel Registration Policy. Please visit Here for the full policy.

Availability phases

2. General Availability (ENDED)

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.
