Premium domains are memorable, marketable and often based on popular search terms, making them more appealing than domains available through domain registrars.

A transfer’s duration has many variables therefore it is impossible to confirm how long a transfer should take. These variables include:

- The domain name’s registrar or registry may influence the period of a transaction. If a domain name is registered at a registrar where pushes aren’t possible the transaction will take a little longer to finalise.
- If a domain name is a ccTLD (county-code Top Level Domain), it is likely to take longer to finalise than a .com domain.
