1. When you register for a site name, your contact information is publicly listed within the WHOIS database. Your registrar could provide domain name privacy services where they list their corporate data as the contact to hide your personal address, telephone range and email. (You still retain full management over the domain name.) Relying on the backbone of the registrar, they can protect your personal info from prying eyes and spam harvesters, but in all probability not law enforcement agencies.
2. If you utilize domain name privacy to register your domain name and your registrar goes out of business, you will have difficulty proving your rights. Some registrars shield their client's privacy by storing client knowledge with a third party in escrow in case the registrar goes bankrupt.
3. The legal owner of the domain is whoever controls the domain's username and passwords, email address, and administrative features.
4. The domain name owner (in most cases) has management over the domain name for so long as they keep it up renewing their registration and paying the fees. If they let the domain name expire, the domain name owner gets a grace period to shop for back the domain name. The domain name may get sold on auction by the registrar, but the domain name owner still has 1st rights to reclaim their domain name. (However, after all, they will must pay a further penalty to the domain name registrar for waiting therefore long to renew it.) Once the domain name is dropped by the registrar and released from the ICANN/Verisign databases, then the previous domain name owner needs to line up with everyone else to fight for that domain name.
5. A site name owner could lose control of the domain name if there is a trademark-based domain name dispute. Most trademark issues should be resolved by agreement, court action or arbitration before a registrar can cancel, suspend or transfer a website name.
ICANN, the Net Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers governs and .biz, .info, .name, .internet, .org and .com domain names. Their uniform domain name dispute resolution policy is followed by all registrars. If you've got a grievance against a domain name owner (like cybersquatting), check out the ICANN web site for a listing of Dispute Resolution Service Providers.
6. Domain name registrations are non refundable. A registrar might offer you a refund on a webhosting package, but they're going to usually deduct the cost of the domain name registration from your refund.
