eg. domainmonster.me

The .me registration process will follow a similar process to the recently released .asia domain, the initial Landrush will allow anyone to attempt to register any available domains.

If the domain in question is requested by more than one party then the domain will be subject to an auction in which all interested parties will be able to bid on the domain.

If you are fortunate enough to be the only party to request a domain then it will be registered to you at the end of the landrush period.

After the initial Landrush period comes ‘Open Registration’ when the registry will open to live registrations.

If you are fortunate enough to be the only bidder then it will be registered to you at the end of the Landrush period. Registrations are for a minimum of two years, and up to a maximum of ten years.

Anyone seriously looking for a .me domain needs to be registering at the Landrush stage. If there is more than one applicant for the same domain name during this stage it will be auctioned to the highest bidder at the end of this period.
