Note

  • At any point of time, you can add upto 2 (two) Bulk actions/requests. This implies that you would not be able to add another Bulk Registration / Renewal / Transfer / Modification / Lock or Unlock / Suspend or Unsuspend / Privacy Protection action/request, if 2 (two) Bulk Actions are already running. You will encounter the below error message in case you try to do so:

  • Once you have placed the Bulk Registration request, the requisite Amount to process the Order will be Locked until the action is completed. You can check funds locked for various actions from My Billing -> List Locked Funds.

    However, if your Debit Account does not have sufficient funds to pay for some of the Orders, the system would eliminate the Orders belonging to the TLDs (domain name extensions) having the least number of domain names within the Bulk Registration request.

    Example:

    If you place a Bulk Registration for 8 domain names out of which say 5 are .COM domain names and 3 are .NET domain names and you have funds only to register 4, then the system would register the domain names from larger batches. Since there are only 2 batches here, 4 .COM domain names would be considered while the second batch would be ignored.

  • When the Order is executed successfully, you will receive a confirmation for the same via an e-mail from CostLessNames.com and the Locked Funds will be deducted accordingly from your Debit Account. Also, if the Order fails, you will receive a notification from CostLessNames.com and the Locked Funds would be released back into your Debit Account.

  • In case you are registering .US domain names, then for every unique Contact that you have selected as the Registrant Contact, you need to mention their Nexus Category and Application Purpose. This can be accomplished by following the underlying process:

    1. Login to your Customer Control Panel. 2

    2. In the Menu, point to Domains -> Domain Registration -> Contact Management and then click Search.

    3. Click the Contact whose Nexus Category and Application Purpose you need to state.
