While I think that the way the auction went down sounds rotten as all hell, you do not purchase a domain. You lease/rent it for a period of time.
- akmiller 12y agoTechnically sure...but playing the semantic game, find me a registrar that advertises the ability to purchase a domain as "renting".
- rcthompson 12y agoThe distinction between purchase and rental is irrelevant here. A rental is a purchase of certain rights for a period of time, and generally doesn't allow for "take-backs" any more than a purchase of ownership. If you rent an apartment for 1 year, your landlord can't come back several days after you moved in and say "Sorry, I changed my mind, I'm taking my apartment back and renting it to someone else" unless the rental agreement specifically allows for that. (Source: renter's rights informational websites & literature specific to my area of residence. IANAL.)
