Who owns my domain name? |
|
|
Domain names are as a licence. As you hold the domain name licence you can do what you want with it.
All domain names we register are registered in the customer's name. This means that for the duration of the registration period YOU are the licence holder of the domain name.
When the licence is due for renewal, you will have to pay a renewal fee. If you do not renew the licence, then it will become available for any eligible applicant to register on a first come first served basis on the Domain Open Market. This is why it is very important to pay a renewal fee for your domain name every year before the due date...don't get caught out loosing the rights over your Domain Name...you will loose the use of you whole website too...if this happens!
