.PARIS Domain Backorder Service

Why Backorder Expired .PARIS Domains?

.PARIS is the geographic top-level domain (geoTLD) dedicated to Paris, France — the world's most visited city and one of the most iconic brands on the planet. The extension carries unmatched prestige for anyone associated with the city.

The .PARIS namespace is curated and relatively small, making premium names extremely valuable. When a .PARIS domain expires, it's a rare opportunity to acquire a name that directly ties to one of the world's great cities. Our domain backorder and drop catching service ensures you don't miss it.

About .PARIS — Registry & History

.PARIS was launched on December 2, 2014. The registry is sponsored by the City of Paris (Ville de Paris) and technically operated by AFNIC (Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en Coopération) — the same organization that runs .FR. This means world-class registry infrastructure and reliability.

Paris (population ~2.1 million in the city, ~12 million metro) is France's capital and the heart of European culture, fashion, gastronomy, art, and business. It hosts the headquarters of UNESCO, the OECD, and the ICC. Paris is also a major tech hub — Station F in the 13th arrondissement is the world's largest startup campus.

Who Can Register a .PARIS Domain?

• Individuals with residence in or demonstrable attachment to the Paris region (Île-de-France / Greater Paris)
• Legal entities with a location or activity in Paris or its region
• No formal proof is required at registration, but the registry states this "bona fide link" is checked regularly to prevent abuse
• Domain use must respect the City of Paris charter of good practices

If you have a connection to Paris — a business, a residential address, or activity in the Île-de-France region — you're eligible. Our team handles compliance with the registry's policies.

The .PARIS Domain Expiry & Drop Lifecycle

.PARIS follows the standard gTLD lifecycle as an ICANN-contracted TLD:

• Auto-Renew Grace Period — ~40-45 days: After expiry, the domain can still be renewed at standard price.
• Redemption Grace Period — 30 days: Domain can be restored but with a higher redemption fee.
• Pending Delete — 5 days: Domain is queued for deletion. Cannot be recovered.
• Domain Drop: ~75-80 days after expiry, the domain is fully deleted and available for registration.

Our snapback system monitors the entire lifecycle. The moment a .PARIS domain drops, we submit a registration request instantly — in the world of expired domain catching, milliseconds matter.

Pricing & Auction System

A .PARIS domain backorder costs a flat €50. If you're the only bidder, you get the domain at that price. If multiple users want the same expired domain, a 7-day proxy bid auction determines the winner — you only pay just above the second-highest bid.

Creative Uses for .PARIS Domains

Hotels, restaurants, and tourism businesses use .PARIS to stand out in search results. Fashion brands reinforce their Parisian identity. Real estate agencies, event organizers, and cultural venues use it to signal local expertise. Domain investors value them for their unique geographic branding — there's only one Paris, and .PARIS is its digital address.
