Registered domain name

The registered name this report is about, spelled the way the registry holds it.

• Help center

This is the registrable name the registration figures belong to: example.com rather than www.example.com or shop.example.com. A leading www. is dropped before the lookup, because www is just a host inside the same registration. For a scan of any other subdomain the group is not shown at all: that name is part of someone's parent domain, often not run by whoever runs the site.

Internationalised names

Registries store names with non-Latin letters in punycode, the ASCII form that starts with xn--: пример.рф is held as xn--e1afmkfd.xn--p1ai. SiteScan queries the registry in punycode and, when the registry also returns the readable spelling, shows that one.

Why check it

• It confirms the report describes the registration you actually pay for, not a parent or a lookalike domain.
• If you own several spellings (with and without a hyphen, other TLDs), each is a separate registration with its own expiry, registrar and lock. Scan each one, or redirect them to the main site and keep them renewed.

The row is informational. The rows below it — registration expiry, registrar and transfer lock — are the ones to act on.
