Domain name general info

In general, the registration (delegation) of the domain name in the Internet means transfer of domain name by the Manager of the domain zone for temporary using for certain period of delegation .

After timeframe of delegation it can be prolonged. If it has not occured, delegation of the domain will be cancelled. Thus, the domain name cannot be the object of the property.

Registration of domains can occur on paid (.com, .net, .ogr, etc.) or free basis (.org.ua, .pp.ua, etc.), depending on rules of the domain zone. Besides, the registration can be executed directly by Manager of the zone, or by registrars (resellers) who can ask for additional payment for the services.

Rules of the domain zone can limit the circle of users which can receive the domain in this zone.

For example,only the organization, with the government status can register the domain in .gov zone . Therefore, before the registering of the domain name, it is desirable to find out the rules of a chosen zone.

Often Manager of the domain zone keeps running the site on which any Internet user can receive the qualified help, information about the rules of the zone, the list of registrars of the zone (if they exist), the information about domain database, news and other helpful information.
