Once I have purchased my domain name, can I amend or cancel it?
Upon completion of your chosen domain name purchase, the name is registered to you for two years. Upon expiry of that registration, you will be given the opportunity to renew the domain name.
After registration, no amendments to the domain name can be made and the domain name cannot be cancelled.
