Key Moments - 3 Insights

What happens if the domain is not available at Step 2?

If the domain is not available, the flow stops at Step 2 and the user must choose a different domain name, as shown by the 'No' branch in the concept flow.

Why do we need registrant info before submitting registration?

Registrant info is required to identify the domain owner and is validated before registration can proceed, as shown in Step 3 and Step 4 of the execution table.

What does 'Domain active' mean at Step 5?

'Domain active' means the domain is successfully registered and ready to be used or managed, as indicated in the execution table row 5.

Full Transcript

Domain registration starts when a user picks a domain name. The system checks if the domain is available. If it is, the user provides their information. Then the registration request is sent to the registrar. Once successful, the domain is active and can be managed. If the domain is not available, the user must pick another name. Registrant info is needed to identify ownership. The domain becomes active only after successful registration.
