Registrant Rights and Education
What domain name holders should know about registration rights and responsibilities.
A domain registrant is the person or organization listed as the holder of a domain name. Registrants have rights and responsibilities under ICANN policies, registrar agreements, registry policies, and applicable law. DomainLot provides these resources so customers can review the public ICANN materials that explain those protections and obligations.
What registrants can expect
- Clear information about the domain name, term, pricing, and renewal settings before checkout.
- Access to domain management tools for supported settings after a domain is active in the account.
- Notice when important domain actions require review, verification, payment, or registrar processing.
- Access to applicable domain policies, including dispute policy and extension-specific requirements.
Registrant responsibilities
- Keep account access secure and use current contact information for domain records.
- Review renewal, transfer, and verification notices when they are sent.
- Protect transfer authorization values and only share them when intentionally moving a domain.
- Follow registrar, registry, ICANN, and applicable legal requirements for the domain name.
