The new extensions that ICANN has recently permitted have a special registration process that is being rolled out in various phases. To understand these phases, and to know more about how to register a domain in one of these new extensions, please visit the following page:

• Registration of a domain in one of the new gTLDs

Some extensions require an additional step. After you launch the registration at Gandi, you may need to contact the registry directly to complete the process.

Here is a copy of what is needed for some popular extensions. Note that not following through with this step will result in the domain's deletion by the registry:

• .AF, .CX, .KI, .GS, .HT, .GY domain name activation
