Change of registrant
- If you want to change the registrant's name or organisation, an official change of registrant is required. This can't be done through a regular update of the contact details.
- You can have other contact details, such as the address or phone number, updated without a change of registrant.
Renewal, cancellation and quarantine
- A .st domain name must be renewed no later than 60 days before the expiry date.
- You can't have a .st domain name deleted straight away. If you want to get rid of it, simply don't renew it so that it lapses.
- If your domain name has expired, you can ask the registrar to restore it. This is handled manually.
