PHASEDATEDETAILS
Sunrise period 23 Jul 2017 to  22 Oct 2017

The Sunrise period, lasting 90 days, is reserved for Kenyan trademark holders to secure domain names matching their trademarks before .ke is released to the general public.

The trademark must be registered under the Trade Marks ACT (CAP 506) Laws of Kenya. Applications for Domain Name Registrations received during the Sunrise period will be evaluated during the subsequent Cooling-off period and Domain Names will then be allocated to eligible Applicants based on the criteria contained in the Second Level Dot KE Domain (SLD) Policy.
Landrush period 22 Nov 2017 to 22 Dec 2017 The Registry will offer approximately 30 days Land Rush period. If more than one applicant applies for the same domain name, it will be placed into an auction, during the Cooling-off Period, and allocated to the highest bidder.
Grandfathering period Until end of cooling-off period Existing third level domain owners can register similar names on the second level. Business name certificates shall be accompanied as proof of ownership.
Cooling off period 23 Nov 2017 to 22 Dec 2017 During the Cooling-off Period, lasting 30 days, the Registry will assess each application to determine if it meets the Eligibility Criteria of each phase, if not the application will be rejected.

Eligible applications will be evaluated and prioritized according to the following principles before Domain Names are allocated:

  • Sunrise applications prevail over Land-rush applications.
  • Land-rush applications with multiple eligible applications are resolved by means of an auction. There is no obligation to participate in an auction. The Domain Name will be allocated to the remaining or prevailing Applicant.


Where no eligible applications for a Domain Name have been received during the Sunrise Period and multiple eligible applications were received during the Land-rush Period, the Applicant or Applicants with a trademark registered under Trade Marks ACT (CAP 506) Laws of Kenya shall prevail.
General Availability 8 Dec 2017 Approximately One Hundred and Fifty (150) days after the launch of SLDs, Domains shall be available on a first come first served basis.

These dates are provisional and are subject to change
