Wednesday 7th September, 16:00 GMT marks the start of the Sunrise A (Adult Trademark & Domain) and Sunrise B (Blocking) phases of the launch of the new .XXX domain extension – Learn more about the .XXX launch phases.

You can now submit your .XXX applications with XDnet.

Please note that in the Sunrise phase orders are NOT processed on a first-come, first-served basis as with most domains, so there is no queuing or pre-ordering required.

Don’t forget that all orders in Sunrise AT and Sunrise B require documentation to be provided as only trademark holders and owners of existing exact match domains in other TLD extensions can apply for .XXX in Sunrise.

Sunrise AD orders also carry additional requirements to prove ownership/control of the matching domain in question, for further details please get in touch with Sales.

Valid & successful Sunrise AT/AD orders will result in a resolving domain being awarded to the registrant, unsuccessful AT/AD orders will be applicable for a partial (£45) refund.

Valid & successful Sunrise B orders will result in the domain being blocked from registration.

If you have any questions about .XXX, why you might want to consider protecting your brand from Adult association please don’t hesitate to get in touch with Sales [at] xdnet.co.uk.

Please place sunrise orders via the standard domain order page - http://xdnet.co.uk/domain-names/

Please note support will get in touch once you have placed a .XXX order & made payment to organize the documentation required for your application.
