There are no restrictions for generic domain names under BIKE. However, the BIKE authority has a short list of premium, reserved and prohibited names which are not available for registration at the moment.

So long as the domain name is a normal .BIKE, then the price will not change. However, the .BIKE registry has a short list of Premium names at a higher price. Please see other FAQ item regarding Premium names.

The .BIKE registry has a short list of Premium names registered at a substantially higher annual fee level. These are typically short and well known dictionary words, well known company names, 1-2-3 letter words and numbers etc.. At the moment we are not able to live-check for such Premium classification. We therefore ask you to either contact us beforehand at Contact us, or file the application, whereafter we will check for its status before continuing. Should the domain prove to have a higher price level, we will inform you whereafter you can either go ahead with the new price level or cancel your application at no cost.
