Frequently asked questions about the .AUCTION domain
Does .auction have different registration and renewal pricing?
Yes. .auction has $32.99/year for initial registration and $33.99/year for renewals — one dollar difference.
What is the difference between .auction and .bid?
.auction ($32.99) communicates the complete auction mechanism — the platform or the event. .bid ($29.99) communicates the buyer's action — the bid. For an auction house or platform, .auction is more descriptive of the business; for a bidding service or broker, .bid may be more direct.
Is .auction suitable for NFT auctions?
Yes. NFTs are primarily sold through auction mechanisms. An NFT platform with nft.auction or digital.auction clearly communicates the price discovery model through bidding.
Is live.auction a good domain for live auctions?
Yes. live.auction has high power for real-time auction platforms — live streaming auctions, simultaneous online bidding with in-person events and any live auction format.
Does .auction rank well in Google for auction searches?
Google treats .auction like any gTLD. For auction platform searches, the semantic coherence between the extension and the business model may improve CTR by immediately communicating the marketplace format.
Can I transfer my .auction domain to miHosting?
Yes. The transfer has no additional cost. You need the authorisation code (Auth Code) from your current registrar. The process takes 5 to 7 business days.
