.NET Domain names can be up to 63 characters, with a minimum of three characters, and can contain letters (a to z), numbers (0 to 9), and hyphens (except at the beginning or end of the domain name). .NET Domain names can not be registered with special characters such as & and #.

Who can register these domains?

Anyone can register .net domain names on a first-come, first-served basis.

Renewal restrictions

We'll attempt to auto-renew your domain on its expiration date. We'll park domains after the first failed billing attempt. If the domain isn't renewed within 40 days following expiration, we cancel it and remove it from your account.
