Questions about .domains domains
Does .domains make me a registrar?
No. Domain registration does not confer registrar accreditation.
Does it include a search API?
No. Availability tools and services are separate.
Can it be an information resource?
Yes. Identify the publisher and keep guidance current.
What happens after I find a domain?
Add one or more available names to your basket, then continue to registration. Enter the owner details and review the registration term and total before payment. Availability is provisional until the registrar confirms registration.
Will UKC charge me automatically at renewal?
No. UKC sends renewal reminders and an invoice. You need to pay the invoice to renew; UKC does not automatically charge you. Keep your contact details current so you receive reminders.
