Can I rename my domain name?
No. At the time of your order, we forward your specification and the corresponding invoice amount to the registry, which will bindingly assign your domain for one year. For this reason, it is not possible to rename a domain afterward.
If you find out that you made a mistake during your registration, you can cancel your current domain and register a new one.
If the incorrectly ordered domain is your main domain, you have the option to re-register a domain and then exchange the two domains.
