This Domain Registration Policy summarizes important rules for domain names you register or transfer through Domain & Host. Registry and ICANN (or ccTLD authority) policies prevail if they conflict with this overview. Support: [email protected].
1. Registrant duties
As the registered name holder you must provide accurate registrant, administrative, and technical contact data and update it promptly. Providing false WHOIS/RDAP information can lead to suspension or cancellation under registry rules. You must respond to verification and abuse inquiries within the timeframes required by the applicable TLD policy. You are responsible for lawful use of the domain and for resolving trademark or naming disputes under the relevant dispute policies (for example, UDRP for many gTLDs).
2. Registration and renewals
Registration is complete only when accepted by the registry and appears in the authoritative database. Renewal must occur before the expiry date shown in your client area. We may send reminder emails, but reminders are a courtesy—you remain responsible for renewing on time. Auto-renewal charges your default payment method when enabled; keep payment details current to avoid unintended expiry.
3. Transfers
Outbound transfers generally require an authorization code (AuthInfo/EPP code), unlocked status, and compliance with any transfer locks or waiting periods imposed after registration or a previous transfer. Inbound transfers require approval at the losing registrar and successful completion at the registry. We cannot force another registrar to release a domain outside published procedures. During transfer, DNS and email may be affected; plan accordingly.
4. Grace, redemption, and deletion (high level)
After expiry, many gTLDs offer a short auto-renew grace or renewal window during which the domain can often be renewed at the standard renewal price. If not renewed, the name may enter a redemption period where restoration is possible only for a higher redemption fee plus renewal, if the registry allows it. After redemption ends, the domain may be deleted and become available for public registration—often with no guarantee you can recover it. Exact timelines and fees vary by TLD and can change; check your product page or ask support for the extension you use. ccTLDs (including country-code names relevant to Egypt and the region) follow their own authority rules.
5. Our role
Domain & Host acts as a registrar reseller or registrar channel as applicable for each TLD. We submit registration data you provide to registries and facilitate renewals and transfers through our systems. Registry fees are typically non-refundable once submitted. Keep local copies of important DNS records and plan renewals well before expiry.
