Domain Rights, Responsibilities, and Information

Domain Registrations

The Domain Registry

Bravenet sells domain registrations to our customers through lease from our partnered accredited domain registry, Public Domain Registry Ltd. The domain registry is the organization responsible for storing and retaining the domain registrations, and for a number of other services that are extend through us to our customers. All accredited domain registry's are governed by ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, which decides the various protocols, policies, and contracts all domain registry's, registrar's, resellers, and registrant's must conform to. As such, ICANN is responsible for moderating how the international domain name system database is managed, as well as oversight and compliance assurance of the domain registry's themselves.

The Domain Reseller

We at Bravenet are the domain reseller, also referred to as the registrar in most domain contacts. This means that we lease the right to register domain names from the domain registry, and we purchase additional services from the registry. Some of these services are what allow us to officiate domain registrations and other domain-related services; other services may be offered or resold back to our customers. We are the organization which stores and manages your DNS records for you, and allows you to modify and change them at your pleasure. This allows your domain name to point to a website, handle email, or serve other content or purposes. We also offer services entirely of our own, in conjunction with or in addition to any domain-related services, including emailing accounts and emailing services.

We also offer a privacy protection feature for domain names registered through us. The Privacy Protection service we utilize is PrivacyProtect.org, a respected domain privacy/proxy agent. Using a domain privacy service means that the actual contact details utilized for a domain registration will not be displayed in publicly accessible Whois Lookups; instead, a reference to the Privacy Protection agency is displayed, and attempts to contact the domain owner must be filtered through privacyprotect.org before they can reach any of the domain contacts.

The Registrant (You)

As the registrant, you are the name holder of the domain name. You own the rights to your domain name for the duration of your domain name's expiration, so long as all fees, terms, and additional requirements are paid timely and followed by. You will be notified of any impending domain expiration or other service warnings as they approach or arise, as necessary.
