For most users, owning a domain name looks simple: choose a name, pay for registration, and the website address becomes yours. However, behind this apparent simplicity lies an entire system of legal rules that determine who actually owns the domain, what rights they have, and under what conditions those rights can be lost. Legal requirements accompany a domain throughout its entire lifecycle — from the moment of registration to renewal or transfer to another party. Understanding these rules helps avoid suspensions, disputes, and unpleasant situations where access to a website or email can be lost suddenly and for a long time.
