Domain names have a variety of basic rules for registration including acceptable characters. Whilst these vary in some respects from registry to registry, there are some fundamental rules which apply to all.
As a guideline, see the following:
| Permitted Characters | Permitted Length | Additional Rules | |
|---|---|---|---|
| .com, .net, .org, .info | Letters (a-z) Numbers (0-9) Hyphens (-) | From 3 to 63 characters.(Not including the extensions) | May not begin or end with a hyphen |
| .biz | Only for bona-fide business use | ||
| .tv | May not begin or end with a hyphen | ||
| .co.uk | May not begin or end with a hyphen |
Domain names are not case sensitive. This means that an uppercase and a lowercase letter are considered to be the same (AAA.com. aaa.com, and AaA.com are all the same domain name).
As stated previously, this list is not exhaustive. We make every effort to ensure that our registration systems do not allow you to bypass these registration rules however there are some occasions where this may not be possible and our checking procedures may fail.
Clients are always advised to seek guidance if they are at all unsure about the domain name they have chosen and its validity. Due to the variety of possible causes for the failure of the domain name validity checker, we cannot be held responsible if a customer attempts to register an invalid domain and that this request is subsequently accepted by our systems. Acceptance of the invalid order by our systems does not constitute acceptance of the domains registration by the relevant domain registry.

the registration of the domain name will not infringe upon or otherwise violate the rights of any third party.
you and the domain registrant are not registering the domain name for an unlawful purpose.
you and the domain registrant will not use the domain name in violation of any applicable laws or regulations or the company's rules or policies.
You and the domain registrant agree and acknowledge that it is your responsibility to determine whether your domain name registration or use infringes or violates someone else's rights, including, but not limited to, whether any foreign language translations of your domain name, either between roman-alphabet languages, between non-roman alphabet languages, or between roman-alphabet and non-roman alphabet languages, infringe or violate someone else's rights.
Easynic considers the entity named as the administrative contact for the domain name at the time of registration to be authorised by the registrant of that domain name to act on the registrant's behalf with respect to the domain name registration or any other services obtained from us, including (but not limited to) the authority to terminate, transfer (where permitted by the Agreement), or modify such services, or obtain additional services.
The transfer of a domain name to another registrar or a new registrant by the existing registrant or its agent may result in any services associated with the domain name being terminated. Provisions for Non-Roman Alphabet Names
You and the domain registrant acknowledge and agree that Easynic cannot guarantee the functionality of non-roman alphabet language domain names, or that its non-roman alphabet language registration service will be error-free, in that we cannot know with certainty whether or not the non-roman alphabet language domain name you are seeking to register or renew will be translated properly by the Internationalized Domain Name System.
Furthermore, you acknowledge that Easynic or the registry administrator may be required to suspend, modify or cancel your non-roman alphabet language registration in order to comply with new ICANN or IETF rules, regulations or standards that apply to such registrations.
Registrant explicitly authorizes Easyspace to act as their Designated Agent, as stipulated by the ICANN Transfer Policy, to approve a Change of Registrant on their behalf.
You agree that Easynic may modify this Agreement, as well as any additional rules or policies that are or may be published by us as necessary to comply with our ICANN agreement, or with any other agreements that we are currently bound by or will be bound by in the future, or for any other reason in our sole discretion.
In addition to such other information that we may require you and the domain registrant to provide in order to obtain the Service(s), Easynic require that you submit the following information in connection with domain name registration, administration and renewal services:
The information you are obligated to provide and keep current in connection with your use of the company's domain name registration, administration, and renewal services is the following:
Registrant's full name (or the name of the entity and authorized contact person, if registration is for an organization, corporation or association), postal address, email address, voice telephone number, and fax number, where available.
The domain name being registered.
The name, postal address, email address, voice telephone number, and where available, fax number for the administrative contact, technical contact and billing contact for the domain name registration.
You acknowledge and agree that when you renew a domain name registration, the type of information you are required to provide may have changed. If you do not wish to provide the new required information, the registration may not be renewed, in our sole discretion.
When a new domain registration is submitted in a new gTLD, within the first 90 days of the new gTLD entering the General Availability phase, we, the registrar, verifies whether or not the requested domain name has a matching trademark registered at the Trademark Clearinghouse. If a matching trademark does exist, we will send the potential registrant an email with a link to a webpage with details about the registered trademark, this requires an affirmative response to complete the domain registration. The registrant must agree to this notice within 24 hours of applying for the domain or the registration of the domain will not be completed and the domain name never registered. If an affirmative response is not received within the 24 hour timescale, the domain package will be cancelled and refunded.
Please find more information about this here: http://www.yoursupportservices.co.uk/domain-trademark
If you have registered a new or transferred in a gTLD (e.g. .com, .net .org, .guru etc.) with new registration data, you will be sent an email asking you to validate your registrant contact data. Please follow the instructions in this email. Failing to receive an affirmative response from the registrant within 15 days will result in the suspension of the name.
The title of the email will be “Please validate your domain name(s) as soon as possible” and it will be sent from our hostmaster@easyspace.com email address.
You will also receive this email if you change the first name, last name or email address of the registrant or if we receive a bounce notification from the Whois Data Reminder Policy email.

We reserve the right to immediately terminate this TOS, and suspend or cancel your Services, and, if necessary, your domain name: (i) for a violation of any provision of this TOS or any other Agreement, including third party agreements that apply to you through this TOS; and/or (ii) your failure to pay any amounts due. This right of termination is without prejudice to any other rights we may have. You are not entitled to any type of notice or protest should we exercise these rights.

You are not entitled to this revenue. Dependent on domain extension you may have up to thirty days during this period to redeem your domain name.

If your domain name has been abandoned, we may delete it, register it in our own name, or engage in any other transaction we deem beneficial to us. You have no right to compensation should this occur.
If your domain name expires, lapses or fails to renew, it may be registered by a third party at any time. We have no liability if this occurs.
