Once a domain name is registered, who is the legal registrant of the domain name?
When a domain name is registered, the “registrant” contracts the use of the domain name. However, there is no permanent registrant for any domain name. The “registrant” of a domain name is the original administrative contact listed at the time of registration, regardless of whether the administrative Contact Information has been changed since then. In other words, the registrant of a domain name is the individual whose name and Contact Information were initially associated with the username and password profile for the domain name.
