Internet domain names are an important tool for protecting your brand online, and they add credibility to business transactions. Every domain ends with a top-level domain (TLD) - for example .co.uk, .org.uk and .me.uk are managed by Nominet. There are many TLDs; Wikipedia has more information on top-level domains.
Registrars of top-level domains each have their own policies and rules. The common ICANN TLDs, such as .com and .org, along with many others, use the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) and its associated rules.
Registrations and renewals
When registering or renewing your domains and services, you will be presented with a breakdown of the associated costs for each item or package. You can choose to auto-renew; in that case you only need to tell us if you no longer wish your services to be renewed.
At the time of registration, you will be given links to the registrar terms and conditions that relate to the domains you are registering. Depending on the TLD, other rules may also apply. When you register a domain name, you are bound by the rules for that TLD.
Expiring domains
Unless you have chosen automatically renewing services, you will be notified before your domain and service expires. From the date of that notification, you have 30 days to confirm renewal in order for services to continue.
If you have any questions about a domain or a renewal, get in touch.
