In accordance with the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy, you can dispute a claim to a domain name by following the dispute process.
Should I enter valid contact information when registering a domain names?
ICANN, the governing body for domain names, requires valid Contact Information for each domain contact (Registrant, Technical, Billing, and Administrative).
If you enter false information, your domain name will be cancelled.
Your contact information is public and is made available through the WhoIs databases of most Registrars. However, we do offer a solution to help protect your privacy. You can register and renew your domain name with us using our private domain name registration services.Renew Domain Names

Can I register/renew domain names in bulk quantities?
Yes. You can mix any domain extensions in your purchase. Bulk pricing is applied based upon the total number of domains in your list—no matter which domain extensions you enter. For instance, if you had 49 .com domains and 3 .biz domains, the entire order would qualify under bulk pricing for 50-100 domains.
Can I renew domain names registered with another registrar through your company?
Yes, you can renew through us now and not have to pay the other registrars renewal fees. Keep in mind that ICANN regulations prohibit transferring a domain name that has been registered or previously transferred within the last 60 days. Also, you need to start the transfer process at least 10 days before your domain name expires.
Will my domain name be auctioned off if I allow its registration to expire?
Yes. One week into the redemption period, the expired domain—assuming that its registration has not been renewed—is placed into a 10-day domain auction, allowing prospective registrants to bid on the domain. The winner of the auction obtains the domain registration ownership two weeks after the auction end date if the original owner fails to renew the domain by the end of the redemption period.
