When you want your own space on the web, you need to have an ‘address’ where you can be found. This will usually start with www followed by your unique name and .xxx. For instance; our address or domain name is www.total-needs.com. When you have decided what name you want, and it is available, we will register it on your behalf with the relevant authority. We then become your registrant.
Although you own the domain as your registrant we act as the licence holder for your domain. We submit the information to the registrar, e.g. Nominet that will allow your address to be found as a website or an email as required.
You must keep us informed of your contact/personal information and any other changes you wish to make so that we can keep things up to date. We also need to know whether you wish to renew at the end of the period.
Should you transfer to a new provider of hosting services whilst leaving us as your registrant, this is known as redelegation. If you move the registration, that is known as registrar transfer. You can do either independently. Where there are costs of transfer or any change in registration, we will charge that cost at the current rate. see this link for details of current Nominet information. Other organisations may have differnt charges.
