LK Domain Registration Discount Program Terms & Conditions

Updated Policy Notice: Our LK Domain Discount Policy has been updated to prevent misuse of our subsidized domain registration program. Please review the new terms below.

1. Domain Registration Services

LankaHost provides .lk domain registration services through our partnership with the LK Domain Registry. All domain registrations are subject to the policies and procedures of both LankaHost and the LK Domain Registry.

2. LK Domain Discount Policy

2.1 Purpose of Discount Program

LankaHost offers LK domains at subsidized rates below the standard LK Domain Registry pricing. This discount is provided at our own cost as a value-added service to customers who maintain an ongoing relationship with LankaHost for their hosting and domain management needs.

2.2 Transfer Restrictions and Cost Recovery

Important: Customers who register LK domains through LankaHost's discount program and subsequently transfer these domains to other registrars within 12 months of registration may be subject to cost recovery charges.

2.3 Misuse of Discount Program

If LankaHost determines that a customer has registered domains primarily to obtain discounted pricing with the intention of transferring elsewhere, this constitutes misuse of the discount program. In such cases, LankaHost reserves the right to charge the customer the difference between:

  • The standard LK Domain Registry rate that would have applied at the time of registration, and
  • The discounted rate actually paid to LankaHost

2.4 Examples of Potential Misuse

  • Registering multiple domains and transferring them shortly after registration
  • Registering domains without purchasing associated hosting services
  • Pattern of behavior indicating domains were registered solely for discount benefit

2.5 Cost Recovery Implementation

  • Customers will be notified in writing of any cost recovery charges
  • Payment terms will be Net 30 days from invoice date
  • Customers may appeal charges by providing evidence of legitimate business reasons for domain transfers

2.6 Policy Exceptions

This cost recovery policy does not apply to:

  • Transfers occurring more than 12 months after initial registration
  • Transfers due to LankaHost service discontinuation or technical issues
  • Customers who maintain active hosting services with LankaHost
