Domain F.A.Q.

Who owns my domain name?
No person or organisation can actually own a domain name. When you register a domain you are purchasing exclusive rights to use that domain for the period that you keep the registration current.

What if I no longer want my name?
You can wait for your registration to expire.

Can I cancel my domain registration?
No, you can not, nor is there any refund of registration fees.

Can I change my domain name?
No. Once a domain is registered it cannot be changed.

How much does a domain name cost?
Domain name registration is part of the MBO Startup Kit. There is no additional cost.

How long does it take before my domain name is active?
Once the registration process is complete the domain name must propagate across the Internet, where internet providers must update their DNS records to include new site locations. This usually takes 24 hours but may take up to 72 hours in some cases.
