- Restrictions: Unlike some gTLDs, .locker has no strict registration restrictions, meaning anyone—individuals or businesses—can register a domain. There is no need for a trademark or special documentation, although certain domain names, such as two-character names and those reserved for ICANN regulations, may not be available.
For any pricing inquiries, please reach out to our corporate team.
