How will I know if a domain registration has been accepted and is complete?

We cannot guarantee or confirm any registration until we actually receive notification from the registrar, this is normally within a few hours. You must not rely or advertise your new domain until we have confirmed the registration was successful! A registration should only be considered as successful and complete when you have both: Received confirmation from us (usually sent via email) that the domain registration was accepted and is complete. Verified the details on the central WHOIS database. You can also check the status of “any” domain by using our WHOIS database search here. If a registration fails you will receive notification and the fee charged for the domain name registration will be refunded to you.
