Who does a registered name actually belong to, Vikont or me?
Domain names are not truly owned — they’re leased out on a first-come, first-served basis, and remain with the initial lessee until either a) the lessee does not renew the name, or b) a business with a trademark of the same name demonstrates a greater claim to the name than the lessee can demonstrate. The question is better phrased as ‘ who can control the domain name’. With us, the answer is the domain’s Administrative Contact. You usually specify this, during the registration process.
