	Who owns the domain name I register?

Solution Domain name ownership is similar to owning a telephone number; as long as you maintain proper use, you will keep your right to use your domain name. Ownership of a domain name is granted for a limited period of time, subject to the appropriate registration or renewal fees being paid. When you register your domain name with "WebHostingINTL?", we process the domain name registration and you are the assigned licensee.

At the time of registration you designate the Registrant (Registrant: The person or entity that is the "owner" of the domain name.) and Administrative contact (Administrative contact: The person designated to receive communications from the Registrar related to administration of the domain name). As the Registrant, you have final authority and responsibility regarding the use of your domain name. During the ownership period, the owner of a domain name is free to transfer, sell, etc. that domain name at any time. The ownership of a domain name ceases once a domain name expires and the owner loses all rights to this domain name.

We cannot and do not check to see whether the domain name you select, or the use you make of the domain name, infringes legal rights of others. We urge you to investigate to see whether the domain name you select or its use infringes legal rights of others, and in particular we suggest you seek advice of competent counsel. You may wish to consider seeking one or more trademark registrations in connection with your domain name. You should be aware that there is the possibility we might be ordered by a court to cancel, modify, or transfer your domain name. You should be aware that if we are sued or threatened with lawsuit in connection with your domain name, we may turn to you to hold us harmless and indemnify us.
