The domain tools can be changed whenever your requirements change. Remove or replace the old forwarding when the new website is ready.<\/p><\/details>\n    <details><summary>Does buying the domain mean I own it forever?<\/summary><p>No. A domain is registered for a term and must be renewed to keep the right to use it.<\/p><\/details>\n    <details><summary>Can I correct a spelling mistake after registration?<\/summary><p>Normally no. A domain is registered exactly as ordered. A different spelling is a separate domain registration, so check the order carefully before payment.<\/p><\/details>\n    <details><summary>Can I connect Wix, Squarespace, Shopify or another platform?<\/summary><p>Yes. Follow that provider&#8217;s current domain-connection instructions and enter the supplied nameservers or DNS records in the UKC domain controls.<\/p><\/details>\n    <details><summary>Can I transfer the domain later?<\/summary><p>Usually yes, subject to the extension&#8217;s rules, current status and any applicable transfer lock.
