No. Pre-Registering a domain reserves your place in our queue for that domain. The instant the registration phase opens, we'll submit our list of registrations electronically using our industry-leading technology to give you an edge.
If GoDaddy secures the name and more than one person or company has pre-registered it, all parties will be invited to a private auction to decide who gets it.
Priority Pre-Registration Cases:
If you are not awarded a domain purchased under this phase, you will receive a full refund of the registration fee and any application fee paid.
If you are awarded the domain purchased under this phase and then decide to cancel during the allowed "cancellation grace period", you will only receive a refund for the registration fee paid. Any application fee paid to secure under Priority Pre-Registration will be non-refundable in this case.
Regular Pre-Registration Cases:
There are no application fees for the Regular Pre-Registration phase.
If you are not awarded a domain purchased under this phase, you will receive a full refund of the registration fee.
If you decide to cancel during the allowed "cancellation grace period", you will receive a full refund of the registration fee.
