.XXX Accreditation

Lexsynergy Limited was recently part of the first set of ICANN registrars to be accredited to promote and sell .XXX domain names.

Lexsynergy will shortly be releasing information relating to the launch of .XXX. Although this Top Level Domain is reserved for the online adult entertainment industry, trade mark owners will be given the opportunity to register domain names matching its trade marks.

ICM (.XXX Registry) have opened a pre-reservation service that allows both members and non members of the Sponsored Community (online adult entertainment industry and those supplying products or services to that industry) the opportunity to register expressions of interest in certain domain names. The actual domain names will be allocated in due course via a number of phases. Providing expressions of interest now will ensure that you get notified in advance of the appropriate allocation period and about the availability of the names you have indicated.

There is no charge for pre-reserving your domain name, simply send an email to xxx@lexsynergy.com with the domain names you wish to pre-reserve.
