# Google .eat launch: general registration November 17

> Google has opened early registration for .eat, .fly, and .here domains. Starting at 1 a.m. on November 18, 2026, Korean time, they can be registered at the standard annual price without a one-time extra fee.

## Key Points

- Google Registry opened registration for .eat, .fly, and .here on November 10, 2026.
- During early registration, a one-time extra fee applies to available names.
- General registration starts at 1 a.m. on November 18, 2026, Korean time.
- There are no special eligibility requirements or country-specific restrictions for .here registration.
- To open a .fly website in a browser, the site must be configured to serve content over HTTPS.

Google announced the launch of .eat·.fly·.here on November 10, 2026. The announcement came at 1 a.m. on November 11, Korean time. Anyone can now register available names by paying an additional fee.

Google's announcement and Google Registry documents were reviewed as of November 12, 2026.

## Early registration opens for .eat·.fly·.here

The top-level domains now open for registration are .eat·.fly·.here. A top-level domain is the part at the end of a web address. According to [Google's announcement](https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/registry/new-google-domains-eat-fly-here/), the early registration period is currently underway. Available names can be secured before general registration begins.

## General registration starts November 18, Korean time

General registration starts at **1 a.m. on November 18, 2026, Korean time**. This is the Korean time equivalent of November 17 at 16:00 UTC, as announced by Google. From that point, the one-time additional fee will no longer apply to any of the three domains.

| Registration phase | When it applies | Registration terms |
|---|---|---|
| Early registration | Underway as of November 12, 2026 | An additional fee applies to available names |
| General registration | From 1 a.m. on November 18, 2026, Korean time | The base annual price applies, with no one-time additional fee |

[Google Registry's .here guide](https://www.registry.google/domains/here/) states that there are no special eligibility requirements for registration. The domain is not tied to a particular city or country. It can also be registered from Korea through an ICANN-accredited registrar that offers .here. However, the guidance reviewed does not indicate whether Korean registrars offer it.

## Early registration fees are separate from annual fees

The annual domain registration fee remains even after general registration begins. Google said the additional early registration fee decreases as general registration approaches. According to [Google Registry's .eat guide](https://www.registry.google/domains/eat/), each registrar sets its own prices. The price of registering .eat may therefore vary by registrar.

| Fee item | Applies to | Confirmed terms |
|---|---|---|
| Additional early registration fee | Early registration for all three domains | A one-time fee that is removed when general registration begins |
| Base annual price | General registration for all three domains | Applies separately from the one-time additional fee |
| Premium annual registration fee | .eat premium domains | An annual registration fee higher than that for standard domains applies |

Google Registry's pricing guidance describes .eat premium fees as annual fees. These differ from the one-time additional fee paid only during early registration. The start of general registration should not be interpreted as the point when all names become the same price.

## Actual registration and renewal prices and Korean won payment terms remain undisclosed

The official guidance reviewed does not include actual registration and renewal prices for each registrar. It also does not provide the additional early registration fee amounts by date. To pay from Korea or change an existing address, the following items must be checked separately.

- The actual annual registration and renewal fees for the desired name
- The additional fee that applies at the time of early registration
- Whether Korean registrars offer the domain and the terms for payment in Korean won
- Whether transfer and transition support is available for existing domain users

## Fees and HTTPS settings to check before registering from Korea

Before registering, check the fees for the desired name and the requirements for connecting a website. The guidance stating that .here has no country restrictions does not guarantee payment in Korean won. According to Google Registry documents, .fly requires configuration to serve websites over HTTPS. This configuration is needed to open .fly websites in a browser.

1. Find a registrar that offers the desired domain and name.
2. Check whether registration is taking place during early registration or general registration.
3. Check registration and renewal fees separately from additional fees.
4. Check whether payment in Korean won is available and what payment terms apply.
5. Prepare the configuration to serve the site over HTTPS if you plan to run a website on .fly.

## FAQ

### Can you register a .here domain in Korea as well?
There are no special registration eligibility requirements or country-specific restrictions for .here. You can register one in Korea through an ICANN-accredited registrar that offers it. You need to check separately whether Korean registrars offer it and what their payment terms are for Korean won.

### When does the additional early registration fee end in Korean time?
It ends at 1 a.m. on November 18, 2026. This is the Korean time equivalent of November 17 at 16:00 UTC, as announced by Google. The one-time additional fee will no longer apply, but the annual registration fee will still apply.

### Can I launch a website right away after registering a .fly domain?
HTTPS must be configured for a .fly website to load in a browser. You need to check the site's HTTPS settings when registering the domain.
