"What
if I make a mistake in my domain name registration?"
"What
if I register the wrong domain name?"
Some
mistakes are easy to correct anytime. Information you supply
about your domain name administrator, technical contacts and name
servers can be changed following verification by using our domain
modification form.
However
you need to be very quick in alerting us to mistakes you may have made
in the spelling of your domain name or the first lines of the contact
information of the owner.
Usually,
we can correct a misspelled domain name or incorrect ownership
information without much ado if we are notified within three days of
registration. We will still need to verify your request, so
check your email often after you notify us for further
instructions. In any case, after your initial registration,
please review your domain name record very carefully on the whois
for errors.
After
the three days' grace period, all we can offer is to remove your
registration from the registry at your request in the case of a
misspelling (or if your boss threatens to sue you for registering the
company name to yourself). However, your registration fee will
not be refunded.
Ownership
information can be changed after your three day grace period, but it
gets a little more complicated. We will need to follow the same
procedures with respect to verification as for an owner's address
change or a complete ownership change.
