This guide concerns domain names called Premium.

Preamble

• These domain names are designated by the registries as having strong commercial potential for referencing or branding.
• The prices for these domains are set by their registry or by their current owner and do not particularly depend on the extensions (.com, .net, etc.).
• A .art domain can be found for less than 10 EUR, just as it can be bought for more than 300 EUR.

• Easy transfer: the price of a premium domain generally includes the transfer of the domain and the change of ownership
