How it works

    Registrants

    A registrant is the person or organisation recognised by the domain registry as the registered holder of a domain.

    You can create and manage up to ten (10) registrants before placing a backorder, then choose which registrant should apply if the domain is secured.


    Why Registrants Matter

    Every registered domain name must have a registrant. We are required to submit your registrant details to the relevant domain registry when registering your domain.

    Your registrant details must be accurate and complete, as we may need to verify them to meet our obligations. Incorrect or incomplete details may delay the assignment of your domain.


    How Registrants Work

    1. Add registrant details

      Create and manage up to ten (10) registrants from your account, or add one while placing a backorder.

      When placing a backorder, select the registrant to use if the domain is successfully secured.

      Once you have secured the domain and payment has been received, the domain is assigned to the registrant you selected when the backorder was placed.


    Managing Saved Registrants

    You may create up to ten (10) registrants in your account and select the appropriate one for each backorder. This is useful when placing backorders for different people or organisations.

    Registrants can be edited until they are assigned to a domain. After that, identifying information, such as the registrant's name or organisation, can no longer be changed.
