BrandLock by NameBlock
BrandLock by NameBlock blocks domain names that are identical to the Block Label under one or several participating top-level domains. The Block Label itself must meet certain requirements, e.g. not include special characters or be an IDN, not begin or end with a hyphen, must consist of 3-63 characters and so on. If a blocked domain name is searched for, Registrars will show, in their search results, that the domain is not available. It is not a premium name, it is not on the aftermarket, it is simply not available for registration.
