Registrant Rights & Responsibilities

When you register a domain with ns6, ICANN policies protect you. Here's a plain-language summary of what you're entitled to — and what's expected of you.

ns6 is a reseller, not an ICANN-accredited registrar. We register domains through Dynadot, an ICANN-accredited registrar, and Dynadot is the sponsoring registrar of record for the domains you register through ns6. The rights below flow from ICANN's Registrant Rights and Responsibilities and apply to every ns6 registration.

Because Dynadot sponsors your registration, you are also bound by Dynadot's own registration agreement and by ICANN policy, alongside the ns6 Terms of Service. Read the sponsoring registrar's registration agreement (Dynadot Service Agreement) →

Your rights as a registrant

Clear pricing and terms. You're entitled to see the price of registration, renewal and transfer, and the terms that apply, before you buy — with no hidden add-ons.
Control of your domain. You may manage nameservers, DNS records, contact details, WHOIS privacy and auto-renew, and transfer your domain to another registrar after the 60-day post-registration lock.
Renewal and redemption notice. We notify you before a domain expires, and many extensions offer a redemption grace period during which you can recover a lapsed name (registry fees may apply).
Privacy of your data. Free WHOIS privacy keeps your personal details off the public record on eligible TLDs, and we handle your data as described in our Privacy Policy.
A fair dispute process. Domain disputes are handled under ICANN's Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) and related transfer-dispute policies.

Your responsibilities

Keep your contact details accurate. ICANN requires registrant contact information to be current and correct. A domain can be suspended if a verification request goes unanswered.
Renew on time. Renewing before expiration is the surest way to keep a domain. Enable auto-renew to avoid losing a name you care about.
Respect the law and others' rights. You agree not to use a domain for unlawful activity or to infringe trademarks or other rights.
Secure your account. Protect your login credentials and any transfer authorization (EPP) codes — they control your domain.
