* Premium XYZ Registry domains refer to premium domains for extensions with standard and premium domains, and XYZ’s premium namespaces such as .Cars, .Car, .Auto, .Theatre, .Storage, .Security, .Protection, and .Hosting.***

** High/Low priced premium domain. Domains in this tier have a premium price for the first year, but renew at standard pricing. All other premium domains have annual premium renewal fees.

*** We fixed an error in the first disclaimer (*) – .Game and .Tickets are not reported as premium namespaces, as they both have premium lists. The error is limited to the disclaimer and all reporting in the Domains Reports remains accurate.
