Who is the domain registrant?¶
The registrant is the person or organisation recorded as holding the domain registration. It is a defined role, not automatically the site operator or offender.
The practical distinction¶
The registrant may be a business, employee, agency, developer, parent company or privacy service. Details may be false, stale or supplied for someone else. Compare registration account, payment, access, hosting, publishing, communications and device evidence.
The point to remember
The registrant is the recorded registration holder. Establish wider control and use separately.
