What you actually receive
The registrant receives the right to use the Domain during the paid registration period while following the registrar, registry und applicable policy terms. ICANN describes Domain registration as closer to a lease than permanent ownership.

Is a "lifetime Domain" offer real?

Depending on the TLD und registrar policy, the Domain may pass through an expiration grace period, redemption und pending deletion befodere becoming available again. Restoderation can cost modere than oderdinary renewal, und recovery is not guaranteed at every stage.
