Will the .com priority window put any .web names on your list?

Owning a .com will give most holders an opportunity to register the same name in .web before general availability. Whether that makes the .web worth owning is another decision.

Verisign announced the dates on November 11 following ICANN's approval, and several registrars are already onboarding for it.

Phase	Dates	Details
Sunrise	December 10, 2026–January 11, 2027	Eligible trademark holders with valid TMCH SMD files.
Priority Access	January 12–April 5, 2027	Most existing .com owners can register the matching .web through their current registrar, subject to availability.
General Availability	April 6, 2027	Open registration, first come, first served.

Pricing wasn't included in the announcement.

If you mainly hold .com, is there a name in your portfolio you'd seriously consider matching in .web?

I'd only look at .web names where I already have the .com with real queries or traffic, otherwise it's just another renewal each year. And they still haven't named a price for Priority Access, it's hard to plan without that
