Meaning of "premium" domains
This guide concerns domain names referred to as premium.
Premium Domain Names
These domain names are designated by registries as domains with high commercial potential for SEO or branding purposes.
The prices of these domains are set by their registry or their current owner. Their price does not particularly depend on their extension. For example, a .art domain can be found for less than 10 EUR just as it can be purchased for over 300 EUR.
Anyone can purchase a premium domain.
In the Infomaniak shop, they are marked with a crown to differentiate them. Here is an example of premium domains:

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