\"Dotgent\"<\/a>Finally: the long-awaited .GENT domain names will be available to the public at large as of 11\/24\/2014, after a launch phase that will start on 09\/01\/2014.
\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The launch of .GENT<\/a> will be preceded by some phases that will allow specific groups, namely the inhabitants, companies and non-profit organisations of Ghent and its surroundings, to register their domain name before the others (\u201cSunrise\u201d). Trademark owners who registered their trademarks with the Trademark Clearinghouse<\/a> (a central trademark database) can also register their domain name in advance.<\/p>\n

Just before the extension becomes available to the public at large, there will also be a two-day \u201cLandrush\u201d period, during which everyone will be allowed to register a domain name, but at a higher price.<\/p>\n

This is how the launch of the .GENT will take place:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The website of the Dot Gent Registry has been updated too. It now has a new section that includes detailed explanations on the proceedings for the launch. You can find all the new information on\u00a0www.dotgent.com\/launch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Do you want to register a .GENT in one of these phases, before .GENT is even live? Don't hesitate to contact<\/a> the domain name specialists of Combell for more information!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
