You do not own your domain name. The domain name registrations remains active so long as they are renewed annually. This, however, is contingent upon the payment of both the initial registration charge and the annual renewal fee.

Domain names can be transferred between parties so long as all parties agree to the transfer and work together to complete it. After a domain name registrant submits a transfer request to the appropriate registrar, the registrar processes the request at the registry and sets the domain name up for transfer. All domain contacts are notified of the proposed transfer and given the opportunity to approve or reject it. When the transfer waiting period ends and no one objects to the change, the previous registrar is removed and the new one is added.

It is possible to switch both your domain's registrar and your web host. Simply change the DNS to point to the new web host. However, if you can, have the same business handle both domain name registration and hosting.

Your domain name is not the property of your web host. They are only acting as hosts. Make sure your WHOIS information includes you as an administrator. If you registered a domain, you have complete freedom to move your data whenever you like. Changing the name servers is all that's involved in moving a website to a new host. All the other details have not changed. Your domain name remains the same.

One of the factors that helps your business succeed is having a good domain name. Conventional wisdom held that domain names should be short. However, there has been a decline in this trend during the past few years. Today, it's commonplace for businesses to have elaborate URLs consisting of many words or even phrases. Choosing a domain name for your business that is both memorable and descriptive of what it does is essential.

As soon as a registry is made aware of a domain name dispute, it is expected to take measures to prevent the domain name in question from being transferred. In actuality, the registrant will be unable to make any changes to the domain name's content other than those related to the domain name's technical details.

The registrant may also enter into a licence agreement with a third party to licence the use of the domain name, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the agreement.
