How is .select availability checked?
.select publishes an RDAP service through IANA's registry directory, so availability comes from the registry itself rather than from scraped text. That is the strongest answer this tool can give.

Under ICANN's transfer policy a domain cannot move for 60 days after it was registered or last transferred, and usually not after a change of owner unless that owner opted out of the lock.

On renewal it is cheaper than 66% of the extensions we track. Among generic extensions it has the 164th lowest renewal price of 495. Pricing is flat at some registrars, so the first year rate is the rate you keep paying.
