Hello, I’m Ben, a business proprietor and my business is Internet marketing. This blog I put up intends to help starting Internet marketers to learn about the business’s legal side because this is the first thing they overlook. Sure you might have the best search engine optimization strategies and techniques, but if you can’t own all the accomplishments you’ve developed, you’re in big trouble. Today, I will discuss about domain ownership.
Domain laws can be very complex, but here are a few things you need to know about domain laws.
1. Contract Rules
The domain holder and the registrar of the domain govern the rights and obligations of both parties as described by their contract. The registrar who writes the contract may tip it in their favor. Most domain problems root from this and many try to turn to the law, who again turns to the contract rules to which the domain holder signed.
2. Instant Shut Down
Part of every domain registrars’ contract allows them to shut down your domain without your consent. Registars can only do this based on the contract they wrote with you and most of the time websites and accounts are shut down because of their foul nature. The shutdown of a domain lies solely in the hands of your registrar.
3. Domain Ownership
Domain holders only have the name, but registrars own the absolute ownership rights to the domain. You are just “renting” on their space.
4. Not Much Legal Protection
Based on the information provided above, domain holders don’t really have too much rights to the domain they own. The law may possibly help, but there is no technical law that could actually protect domain owners. When you get scammed, it is highly likely that you will lose what was taken from you completely. Remember to play it safe and research your registrar carefully.
