===How Does EAP Service Work===

The EAP process was first pioneered by Donuts and is now used by a number of other registries like Google Registry. The program involves a number of consecutive days, typically seven (7), in which there is a set price for a domain name on each of the days.  The price drops on each consecutive day until the 5th, 6th and 7th day, where the price remains the same.  The set price for each day depends on the domain name and typically a grouping determined by the registry.  Here is an example:

* EAP1 (Day 1) 10,000 USD
* EAP2 (Day 2)  5,000 USD
* EAP3 (Day 3)  1,500 USD
* EAP4 (Day 4)    500 USD
* EAP5 (Day 5)    100 USD
* EAP6 (Day 6)    100 USD
* EAP7 (Day 7)    100 USD

Purchase of a domain during the EAP phase is First-Come, First-Served.  The premium price paid by a registrant is typically only one-time and the domain name is renewed at regular standard prices.  This one-time pricing model may change at anytime and may depend on the registry running the EAP program.
