There are various factors that contribute to the overall price of applying for a New gTLD. These factors include ICANN Application fees, ICANN maintenance fees, administrative and legal costs, and registry licensing costs.

Instra has prepared their IT infrastructure to ensure full compliance with the new gTLD technical requirements, and for this reason we will be offering you a comprehensive gTLD service – which includes:

• Preparation of gTLD application
• Responding to all ICANN requirements relating to the gTLD application process

This estimated price is subject to change (i.e. if the TLD is used as a registry, this could significantly increase costs both to apply and ongoing). It is also dependent on the third party registry platform used. After the base fee has been approved, our per hour consulting fees apply for additional work.
