  • Domain registrations, renewals and transfers, purchased from AHnames Control Panel.

Domain removal and auto renewal Policy


Domains are registered for a specific period of time and can be renewed.

We notify our clients about the ending date of their domain registration via email. A notification email is sent to domain's owner several times before the prepaid period ends and one time after domain's expiration.

We will notify the clients 30, 14, 7 days and each following day prior to domain's expiration as well as one time within 10 days after domain's expiration. The notification letter will include instructions about domain's renewal.

If the client won't renew the domain before its expiration date, domain can be deleted any time after the expiration date.

If the client has activated the "auto renewal" option, domain will be renewed for one year within 30 days before the prepaid period ends, considering there are enough funds on client's balance.

We tend to help our clients avoid accidental domain removing and because of that can but aren't obliged to offer AutoRenew Grace Period after the expiration of domain's renewal time.

AutoRenew Grace Period starts the next day after domain's expiration date.

At the moment we are trying to offer a grace period that lasts 35 days after domain expiration date. During this time clients can renew their domains.

The grace period is not guaranteed and can be changed or terminated at any time without any notification. Thus, to avoid domain cancellation, every client who wants to renew the domain should do that before it expires.

In case the domain is not renewed during the AutoRenew Grace Period, as stated above, we will be forced to cancel domain registration.

However, domain registrars may offer a service of restoring client's deleted domain. In our turn we can but are not obliged to offer our clients the possibility of restoring the deleted domain.

Such Redemption Grace Period — RGP is not guaranteed or mandatory. At the moment, domain catalogues provide restoring services for domains that are deleted not later than 30 days. If there's a technical possibility of restoring the domain name, the cost of such service is $100 plus the cost of one-year domain renewal according to current tariffs.

If domain is not restored during the Redemption Grace Period — RGP, it will go to "Pending Delete" mode for 5 more days. After 5 days domain and all the registration data assigned to it will be deleted and it will once again become available for registration.

If the domain name is a subject of a dispute according to Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy — UDRP and the registered period can expire or domain name may be deleted while the dispute continues, its owner can renew or restore the domain name but it will receive Registrar HOLD or Registrar LOCK status. Domain Whois will contain information that it is subject of a dispute. If the dispute ends or the arbitrator decides against the initiating party, domain will be deleted within 45 days.

1. Powers and Statuses

We act as a domain name registrar only, providing registration and related services in compliance with ICANN rules and policies. The Registrar does not control, manage, access, nor monitor any content available through domain names registered via its Services and has no ability to add, modify, or remove website content associated with such domain names.

Registrants are prohibited from providing, publishing, or transmitting content that is incompatible with or violates Our Master Service Agreement or any applicable laws (“Unauthorized Content”), as well as from engaging in DNS Abuse, which for the purposes of this Policy, includes, without limitation, malware, botnets, phishing, pharming, and spam (when used as a delivery mechanism for the other forms of DNS Abuse).

Usually We have the ability to contact registrants with the requirement to investigate a legal issue. However, We are not in a position to assess Claims or Orders on their merits. We shall not bear any responsibility for any consequences regarding operations with or content of online resources available via the registered domain name. Registrants are responsible for their websites, web resources, goods, services, or content compliance with local laws and regulations throughout all countries, territories, and jurisdictions in which they are accessible. For more information on WHOIS status codes, please visit https://icann.org/.

2. Handling of Abuse Notices

We consider Claims in accordance with this Policy, as well as other internal documents and applicable law (e.g., the ICANN Registrar Accreditation Agreement, the European Union Digital Services Act).

If You find a domain name associated with Us is involved in any activity that violates Our Master Service Agreement or applicable laws, please follow the guidelines below.

2.1. Verification of the Domain affiliation

Ensure the domain mentioned in your Claim is registered by Us or Our Reseller. To do this, use the WHOIS or RDAP service (in order to check the IP address (if available) and contact details). We are unable to consider Claims concerning domains registered by other Domain Name Registrars or their Resellers.

2.2. Contacting the Registrant

You can directly contact the domain name owner using the contact information provided in the WHOIS or RDAP resource. Direct contact usually speeds up the consideration of the Claim.

Even if the domain name owner's contact details are hidden, You can write to the domain name owner's “secure” registrant email address (see the line “Registrant email”). Your email will be automatically redirected to the domain owner's address.

2.3. Submission of Claims

You can submit a Claim using an email published on Our website.

IMPORTANT NOTE: CLAIMS MUST BE SUBMITTED VIA EMAIL. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE RECEIPT OR IMMEDIATE ACTION FOR SUBMISSIONS MADE THROUGH OTHER CHANNELS. CLAIMS SUBMITTED BY PHYSICAL MAIL MAY BE ACCEPTED; HOWEVER, THEY MUST ALSO BE DUPLICATED BY EMAIL IN ORDER TO BE PROCESSED WITHOUT UNREASONABLE DELAYS.

Claims submitted through the physical mail only may receive a significantly delayed response, as they are not integrated in the automated abuse handling and tracking system.

Kindly send Us the detailed Claim with the evidence to support it (including URL or other identification of web-resource), Your name, and the email address where You wish to receive our reply. You are encouraged to provide your name and contact information in particular to help prevent misuse of the reporting mechanisms. However, in certain cases (e.g., where safety or criminal matters require confidentiality), notices may be submitted without the reporter’s identifying information.

You warrant that You have sufficient authority to claim and transfer information (including personal data) contained in the Claim.

2.4. Review Process

Company will process all Claims and take action based on the information provided in accordance with applicable and relevant laws and regulations.

Consideration of a Claim (containing complete and accurate information) usually takes 24 hours or more. This term does not include the period necessary to eliminate the violation. We reserve the right to prolong the review timeframe where necessary, including in cases involving substantial volumes of material, the need to obtain further documentation or details, other relevant circumstances, or where required under applicable law.

Where the submitted information or evidence is incomplete or unclear, Company may request supplementary or clarifying materials and pause the processing of the Claim until the requested information is provided.

You authorize Us to transfer your Claim (if appropriate and not prohibited by applicable law), together with information about the complainant and all attached evidence, to the relevant Customer who is likely to have committed a violation or who has the factual or legal authority to consider the Claim.

Please be aware that We are not at liberty to freely disclose information about third parties (such as domain name registrants, administrators' details, etc.). Such disclosure is possible if a registrant has allowed the transfer of information or as part of a legal process and at the request of the authorities.

Claims are subject to human review. Actions taken in response to Claims which relate to the provision of content by registrants are generally subject to human review. Automated decision-making, or artificial intelligence are not used for complaint resolution or for decisions thereupon.

If a complainant frequently provides manifestly unfounded Claims, Company may suspend the processing of all their Claims after a prior warning.

2.5. Response and Mitigation Actions

Company usually sends responses to Claims. Company is not and cannot be obliged to share the results or materials studied during the consideration of a Claim with the complainant, except as expressly provided by applicable law or permitted by Registrants.

When Company has actionable evidence that registration and related services are being used for providing, publishing, or transmitting Unauthorized Content or for DNS Abuse, Company shall promptly take the appropriate mitigation action(s) that are reasonably necessary to stop, or otherwise disrupt, the services from being used for it.

Action(s) may vary depending on the circumstances, taking into account the cause and severity of the harm and the potential for collateral damage. Actions may entail the restrictions mentioned in the Master Service Agreement or any other restrictions required by the relevant authority or applicable law (including, in some cases, without prior notice, suspension, restricting or disabling of the domain name, placing the domain name on hold status, etc.).

In cases involving severe DNS Abuse, Company may take immediate action to suspend the domain name and may refer the matter to competent law enforcement authorities. In such cases, the Registrar is not required to provide advance notice to the registrant.

Company will generally issue a prior warning before any suspension, other than in exceptional cases or when immediate action is legally required.

When deciding on and applying such restrictions, Company will act in a timely, diligent, non-arbitrary, objective, and proportionate manner.

Company may cooperate with registry operators, law enforcement authorities, trusted security researchers, relevant industry bodies to the extent necessary to prevent, investigate, or mitigate any DNS Abuse, Unauthorized Content, or other illegal activities associated with a registered domain.

2.6. Complaints Against Company Decisions

If You disagree with a Company’s decision, You may lodge a complaint against it with Company. The complaint must be lodged within six (6) months from the date on which You are informed of the decision.

To lodge the complaint, You will need to respond to the email informing You of the decision and provide any additional context or information for Company to reassess the decision.

Company will review the complaint and respond accordingly.

In addition to the internal complaint process described above, complainants have the right to:

  • Escalate the complaint to ICANN if it relates to a breach of ICANN policies by Company;
  • Seek alternative dispute resolution through mediation or arbitration if agreed upon by both parties or required under applicable law;
  • Notify relevant regulatory authorities or law enforcement.

Company will cooperate in good faith with any such external procedures, provided they do not conflict with its legal obligations or the privacy rights of registrants.

3. Handling of Orders from Authorities

Upon receiving an Order from a judicial or administrative authority to act against specific content or to provide information about owners of domain names, Company will promptly acknowledge receipt of the Order to the issuing authority.

Company will review the Order and take any necessary actions required by law, including restricting, suspending, or disabling the domain name, or providing information, while ensuring that the actions are proportionate, necessary, and limited to the scope of the Order.

Company will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the Order contains sufficient information to identify the content or recipients affected, the legal basis for the Order, the issuing authority, and available mechanisms for redress.

Where applicable, Company will notify the affected Customers or Users about the Order and the measures taken, including a clear explanation of the reasons, the options for contesting or appealing the action, and the territorial scope of the Order, unless prohibited by law.

4. Record-Keeping and Reporting

Company maintains internal records of all Claims and Orders as well as actions taken in response thereto. Such records may be used for compliance reporting, audits, regulatory inquiries, or internal review to improve the effectiveness of the Registrar’s abuse-handling and enforcement processes.

5. Policy Updates

This Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in ICANN policies, contractual obligations, or applicable law. Use of the Registrar’s registration and related services constitutes the acceptance of the updated Policy.

SECTION 2. PRICING, PAYMENTS, and CHARGEBACKS

2.1 Pricing of Services. We display the current prices for each Service within the Reseller’s account or on Our website. We have the right to modify prices for Services from time to time. Any such changes shall become effective upon reasonable prior notice to Reseller, provided via email, through the Reseller’s account, or by publication on Our website, unless immediate changes are required by ICANN policies, applicable law, registry operator requirements, or payment service providers.

Where Reseller uses Services that include or rely on services provided by a third-party service provider, any increase in prices imposed by such third-party service provider may result in a corresponding increase of prices for the affected Services. In such cases, We shall notify Reseller in advance of the applicable price changes, and We shall not be responsible for pricing decisions made by such third-party service providers.

Reseller may establish its own pricing for customers and sub-resellers, subject to the technical and pricing constraints supported by the platform, set by Us, and applicable ICANN policies. Reseller shall be solely responsible for billing and collecting all fees and charges from its customers or sub-resellers for domain name registration, renewal, transfer, or any other services provided under this Agreement. Reseller shall ensure that each customer or sub-reseller maintains a positive balance or sufficient funds in their account to enable Us and Registrar to perform all necessary actions in connection with the relevant domain names and perform Services.

2.2 Payments. All Services provided by Us are subject to mandatory advance payment (prepayment) by Reseller. Services shall only be provided upon receipt of sufficient funds or confirmation of an adequate balance. In addition to the standard prepayment requirement, We may, at Our sole discretion, require the use of specific payment methods and may request deposits or other reasonable payment guarantees to secure the Reseller’s obligations.

By authorizing a payment method, including a credit card, Reseller authorizes Us to charge all fees due under this Agreement, including Service fees, administrative fees, chargeback fees, indemnification amounts, and any outstanding balances.

Reseller shall ensure that all transactions submitted by Reseller, its customers, and sub-resellers are valid, authorized, and compliant with applicable payment service provider rules and applicable law.

If the Reseller utilizes Our designated payment gateways or merchant services, the Reseller acknowledges that all such transactions will be processed by third-party providers selected by Us. Such transactions may be subject to additional processing fees, convenience fees, and applicable taxes, which shall be borne by the Reseller or the end customer. We reserve the right to modify the available payment providers or fees at any time with prior notice.

2.3 Chargebacks and Payment Disputes. Any chargeback, reversal, or payment dispute initiated by Reseller, a sub-reseller, or a customer under the Reseller’s account without prior good-faith communication with Us, or forming part of a pattern of abusive or unjustified chargebacks, may constitute a material breach of this Agreement, unless such chargeback results from Our proven error or a documented payment processing failure.

In the event of a chargeback, Reseller shall be jointly and severally liable for: the disputed amount, a chargeback handling fee of USD 35 per incident, and any additional fees imposed on Us by payment processors or financial institutions.

We may temporarily suspend the provision of Services in a proportionate manner pending resolution of the chargeback or outstanding payment, in accordance with ICANN policies and applicable law.

We or Registrar may suspend Your access to any and all of Your Accounts and may assume all right, title, and usage of any domain name registration(s) and/or websites, email, or other data hosted on systems controlled by Registrar or Us (the "Collateral"). If chosen to do so, Registrar or We will reinstate rights in the Collateral only upon receipt of the fee(s) owed and a reinstatement fee of US$200. Registrar or We shall have the right, but not the obligation, to sell, dispose of, or retain the Collateral if Registrar determines the same to be a way of obtaining some monetary or other satisfaction or security, even if You proclaim that the value of the Collateral exceeds the amount You owe.

You give Us the authority to deduct and set off any outstanding amounts from any funds or balances held by Us on Your behalf, including amounts owed due to Your indemnification for third-party claims and any administrative costs, including costs which may be charged for accounts that are inactive.

You give Us the authority to sell, take title to, and/or use any Collateral as a means of procuring some monetary or other satisfaction for any amounts owed by You to Us, including amounts owed due to Your indemnification of Us for third-party claims and any administrative costs, including costs which may be charged for accounts that are inactive.

2.4 Suspension and Limited Security Interest. If Reseller fails to pay any amounts due under this Agreement after reasonable notice, We may suspend or restrict access to the Reseller’s account and Services, including the ability to register, renew, or manage domain names. Such suspension or restriction constitutes a limited contractual security interest solely to secure payment obligations and does not transfer ownership of domain names, registrant rights, or other data to Us or Registrar, except to the extent permitted under ICANN policies or applicable law. We shall notify Reseller of any such action in advance where practicable. Once the outstanding amounts are paid, access and full rights shall be promptly restored.

Reseller, including its sub-resellers, shall be primarily responsible for providing customer support, billing support, and first-line technical assistance to its customers and sub-resellers’ customers. Reseller shall make commercially reasonable efforts to resolve all inquiries, requests, and issues raised by Covered Parties directly.

We shall make commercially reasonable efforts to provide support to Reseller via electronic means on a 24/7 basis. In exceptional cases, where Reseller lacks the necessary information, access, or authority to resolve a specific issue, Reseller may refer Covered Parties to Us for further assistance.

Where necessary to comply with applicable law, ICANN Policies, or to mitigate harm, We and Registrar reserves the right to respond to such communications directly.
