FAQs about domain names

Am I the owner of the domain name?

Normally we speak of the holder of a domain name in stead of the owner. When you register a domain name with us, you become the holder of the domain name as long as you pay the registration costs. As the holder of the domain name you are in full control and you can decide to move your domain to any registrar or hosting provider.


Can I register a domain name as a private person?

Yes you can, but some TLDs have restrictions. Registration of the following TLDs is open for all individuals and companies worldwide: .nl, .nu, .be, .com, .net, .org, .info, and .biz.


Do I have to renew my domain name every year?

All domain names are always automatically renewed each year. This replies to all domain name extentions (TLDs) which you registered with us. To cancel renewals, please send a notification 2 months before the expiry date.


How long will it take to activate my new domain name?

The registration process of your new domain name varies from a few minutes to about a week, depending on your domain name extension. Most popular domains have a fully automated registration process so they will take only a few minutes. For certain domains like .com.tr or .pt, the registration process require a longer period.
