What is an inactive domain name?
A domain name may be registered as inactive with a view to potential online activity at a later date. Inactive domain names remain registered until the domain name holder is ready to launch online activity.
If the name is registered through DNS-LU, the technical contact/manager is requested to notify DNS-LU or activate it himself as soon as the configuration has been corrected. If no response is received, the domain remains inactive. The fee is the same as for an active domain name.
For domain names registered through a registrar other than DNS-LU, the person responsible for technical management must contact his usual registrar to find out about the activation procedure and any related costs.
