In this article, we'll list all domain info that you might need. Let's start with some general info:
ICANN (The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) is an American multi stakeholder group and nonprofit organization responsible for coordinating the maintenance and procedures of several databases related to the namespaces and numerical spaces of the Internet, ensuring the network's stable and secure operation
Any domain starts with SLD (Second Level Domain) and ends with a TLD (Top Level Domain).
What is the SLD?
SLD is an abbreviation of second-level-domain. Let's take wuilt.com as an example, the SLD is (wuilt) and the TLD is (.com)
What is the TLD?
TLD is an abbreviation of top-level domain like, (.com), (.net) and so on. Some TLDs are special and need to be bought from specific organizations like:
1- (.edu) domain, you should buy it from https://net.educause.edu/ this is the only authorized place that you can buy it from. 2- (.eg) domain, to be able to get one, you gotta get it from
http://egregistry.eg/ this is the authorized place. And you can get help from 3 companies buying and registering the domain:
2- Telecom Egypt (WE)
Domain transfer:
To transfer a domain name you need 2 things:
1- Authorization Code (Domain Secret)
2- Disable Theft Protection.
In Accordance with ICANN rules:- You cannot transfer a domain within 60 days of purchase.
- Changing your registrant contact information locks your domain from transfer for 60 days.
- Transferring your domain locks it from being able to transfer again for 60 days.
Domain Expiration And Deletion Cycle:
Renewal grace period: Day 1 to 30 after expiration:
Your domain name will be placed on hold, meaning that viewers can no longer access your website. Meantime you will be able to renew the domain name at the same price.
Restoration grace period: Day 31 to 60 after expiration:
Your Domain still be possible to renew, but you'll have to pay an additional fee -- typically $70 (for a .com domain). The amount of the restoration fee is determined by the registry and varies for each domain TLD.
Day 61 after expiration:
There's no longer any way to renew. In that case, you'll lose your domain. After about three weeks to 1 month, your domain will be available one more time in the market for anyone to buy it.
