What is a registrant?

A registrant is the person or organization that registers and owns a domain name.

Key Point

If you buy a domain (for example, mycompany.co), you are the registrant of that domain.

Registrants can be individuals, businesses, or institutions.

As the registrant, you are responsible for keeping the domain active by renewing it and updating ownership details when needed.

Key Takeaway

If you’ve registered a domain, you are officially the registrant—the holder of the rights to use that web address.
