NameBright is an ICANN-accredited domain registrar based in Denver, Colorado, known for competitive pricing, bulk-domain management, and a "push" feature that moves domains between NameBright accounts without a 60-day transfer lock. NameBright offers domain registration, inbound and outbound transfers, and WHOIS privacy protection, and is widely used by domain investors.
NameBright, LLC reviews transfer requests for NameBright domains on a case-by-case basis after the account holder's death. Approval is at the company's sole discretion, and documentation requirements must be met before any transfer is considered.
During the account holder's lifetime, NameBright allows domains to be transferred to another individual.
What happens at death
NameBright does not publish a formal estate or bereavement policy. The knowledge base and Terms & Conditions contain no provisions addressing death, domain inheritance, or estate transfer procedures. Because ICANN treats domain names as transferable property (a registrant interest that survives the registrant), an executor or heir must contact NameBright support directly to negotiate an ad hoc process for gaining access to the account and pushing or transferring out domains. Without intervention, domains will continue to renew if auto-renewal is active and a payment method remains valid, or will expire on their renewal date.
