Q: How much does it cost to pre-register a .XXX domain name through dotXXXRegisty.com?
A: Unlike past models where our competition has auctioned off registration rights for specific valued domain names to the highest bidder, dotXXXRegistry.com is offering a fair flat-rate system. The cost to utilize our pre-registration service is a non-refundable $17.95 USD, and will entitle the pre-registrant to exclusive ownership of the pre-registration title for the specified domain name. This means each domain name can only be pre-registered with dotXXXRegistry.com once.

Q: How much will the registration fee be to register a .XXX domain name?
A: The unofficial wholesale rate to accredited registrars is $60 USD per .XXX domain name, set by the .XXX Registry. This fee is only charged to a credit card upon a successful pre-registration, when the registry launches. Although other registrars may much charge more, this rate is expected to be under $80 USD from dotXXXRegistry.com.
