Who can register .direct domain?

+
Pricing is listed separately in the table on this page. If the registry classifies a name as a Premium domain, different pricing may apply.

Can I renew it after it expires?

DNSSEC (DS records) can be enabled where supported by the TLD/registry. WHOIS privacy also depends on registry rules and service availability.
