You have an option of canceling the domain name if you misspelled it

When the registration succeeds, you are charged, even if the domain name you entered was not what you actually intended to type. You have the option of canceling the domain name so that it is no longer registered to you. Remember that cancellation does not guarantee a refund of any portion of your registration fee, and it is a permanent action. You are welcome to try and purchase the correct domain name, if it is available.

Unfortunately, we are unable to change or edit the spelling of a domain name after you register it. We register the domain name exactly as you enter it.

Whonami – .FR Domain Name Registration

.fr France/General Purpose

Whonami offer cheap .FR domain registration service ($19.99/yr)

Individuals and companies located in France or who use a trustee service (which we can provide) can register .fr domain names.

Domain names can be up to 63 characters, with a minimum of three characters, and can contain letters (a to z), numbers (0 to 9), and hyphens (except as the first or last characters of the domain name). You cannot register domain names with special characters such as & and #. We support French IDNs (Internationalized Domain Names)

A customer cannot register a .FR domain name if it includes the name of a city in France. For instance, coolexampleparis.fr is not allowed to be registered and will show up as not available when checking out.

The .fr country-code top-level domain name (ccTLD) is an extension that represents France. For companies that conduct business in France and individuals who want to reach the growing number of Internet users there, .fr domain names are a good investment. Registering a .fr domain name gives you regional recognition and an easy-to-manage Web presence

Whonami- You should register more than one domain name, 12/10/2015.

This is the right idea. When you register and use multiple domains names is great for building your business, protecting your brand name, and creating a dynamic online identity.

Multiple domain names will help you:

1-Protect your brand and online identity
2-Capture common misspellings of your domain name, instead of sending visitors to an error page.
3-Provide customers more ways to find you when searching the Internet
4-Keep your competition from registering a similar domain name drawing customers to them instead of you
5-Promote the different products and services you offer
6-Drive more traffic to your website
7-Enjoy more opportunities to market to — and be listed in — search engines

Whonami-How can I register an expired domain name? Oct 12, 2015

If the domain name is not renewed, redeemed, or purchased through an auction, it is returned to its registry. The registry determines when the domain name is released again for registration. Once it’s released, you can register the domain name through us.

Usually, a domain name is not available for re-registration as soon as it expires. Most registrars allow a grace period that can be as short as one or two weeks or as long as a year for registrants to renew expired domain names. The actual grace period can be different for each individual registrar and domain name extension. That is, the grace period for a .com domain name might be different from the grace period for a .us domain name, even at the same registrar.

After the registrar’s grace period, most domain names have a redemption period. This period can last from two weeks to 30 days, and, during this time, the current registrant can renew the domain name by paying a redemption fee along with the domain name’s renewal fee.

If the current registrant does not renew or redeem the domain name, it might be auctioned. When a domain name is released to a public auction, you can participate and possibly capture the domain name by placing a bid on it.

The characters can use to register a domain name

Any domain name must contain between 2 and 63 characters before the punctuation. Upper or lowercase letters is not case sensitive, but most people sue lowercase letters. Some top level domains allow international characters such as Æ, Ø and Å, though these are encoded in a special way making the encoded domain name containing A-Z, 0-9 and hyphens. But normally a domain name can only contain the letters A-Z, the digits 0-9 and hyphen (-), in addition to one punctuation (.) used for grouping the domains in hierarchies, e.g. under .no or .com.

Whonami- How is a great domain name?

It must be simple, unique, and easy to remember. That means that there are many factors what a great domain belongs to, including overall length, number of words, ease of spelling, and how much traffic goes there without prompting. Basically, .com domain name is pricy.

If you are going after a registered .com domain, you will have to contact the current owner, and even then, prices could be high for misspellings and multiple word domains. Before you allow yourself to completely fall in love with a domain name, create a few variants and backups.
