Self-Managed tag requirements

Please ensure that you meet the following criteria for this tag type:

  • Domain names must usually be registered in the name of the registrar.
  • You may specify a maximum of five linked registrant names at any one time. These must be linked to you in some way, for example personal, trading or business names that you use or are closely connected with, and you must be able to provide evidence of this if we ask for it.
  • You may register a small number of domains for third parties. If you register any domain names to third parties this shall be no more than the lower of:
    • 50 or
    • 5% of the total domains registered under your Self-Managed tag

If you do register domains in the name of third parties, you will need to comply with the Channel Partner tag requirements with respect to those customers’ domains. Therefore you will need to submit information about how you service your customers as part of your application.

Only one Self-Managed tag is permitted.
