Domain Name Registration

How we register and renew your domain name varies depending on the last section of the name (the top level domain, for example .com or .uk).

Please contact us for our current pricing schedule.

.uk domains

Since we register a large number of .uk domains cherished.net is a Nominet Channel Partner. Nominet manage the UK's domain registry and when you register a .uk domain you are also entering into a contract with them. This is a separate contract to any you may have with us or a third party for the provision of Internet Services. Please read Nominet's terms and conditions before registering or renewing your domain.

If you are transferring your .uk domain to us, our registrar tag is CHERISHEDSITES. Please follow the instructions of your existing registrar to change the tag (which may also be referred to as an IPS tag). We do not charge for domain name transfers (to us or from us).

Once we have registered a .uk domain on your behalf we cannot refund you for the domain if you change your mind. However it may be possible to change a domain name registered in error (for example, where you made a spelling mistake when providing us with the domain name) free of additional charge, provided we are able to cancel the domain name before the seventh day of the month following its registration.

We charge £49 + VAT per .uk domain name which covers a 2 year period, this is also the renewal fee. We do not charge for cancellations, changes of registration or transfers. We will post a renewal reminder to the contact of the account 30 days before your domain name is due to expire, to ensure you have optimum time to evaluate if you would like to keep the domain name. Should you wish to keep the domain name, you simply need to reply to confirm this in writing / give us a call / sent an email to sales@cherished.net that you are happy to renew. If you do not wish to renew please let us know by the renewal date. If you do not respond the domain name will not be renewed and will be suspended 30 days after the expiry date and cancelled after a further 60 day grace period.

.biz, .com, .eu, .info, .name, .net, and .org domains

We use BulkRegister.com to register these domain names. Please read Bulk Register's terms and conditions before registering or renewing your domain.

Once we have registered a non-.uk domain on your behalf we cannot refund you for the domain if you change your mind. In addition, if we are required to change the domain because of your mistake (for example, you provided us with an incorrect spelling), we will issue a further charge for the new registration.

If you are transferring your non-.uk domain to us please contact us for further instructions.

We charge £70 + VAT per non-.uk domain name which covers a 2 year period, this is also the renewal fee. We do not charge for cancellations, changes of registration or transfers. We will post a renewal reminder to the contact of the account 30 days before your domain name is due to expire, to ensure you have optimum time to evaluate if you would like to keep the domain name. Should you wish to keep the domain name, you simply need to reply to confirm this in writing / give us a call / sent an email to sales@cherished.net that you are happy to renew. If you do not wish to renew please let us know by the renewal date. If you do not respond the domain name will not be renewed and will be cancelled 15 days after the expiry date.

General

When you register a domain, your name and address is published in an online register (whois). Although consumers may have a right to opt out of having this information displayed, businesses and organisations do not.

We have a responsibility to keep your contact information in whois up-to-date. Please tell us if you change address so that we can update the register.

Domain name expiry and renewal

Your domain name must be renewed at least every two years otherwise you may lose it.

Even if you no longer need your domain name we advise that you continue to pay to keep it registered, either with us or by transferring the domain to another registrar.

We will write to you a month before your name is due to expire so that you have plenty of time to inform us of your intentions.
