FastVirtual may provide a 5 day grace period for new .com, .net or .org domain names. This enables you to change the registration term, change the domain name, correct a misspelling, or cancel the registration during this period. If the grace period is available, it will be shown beside the domain name in your account control panel.

If the grace period is available, please contact the the Customer Care Center within this period and we will cancel your domain name. Your payment will be refunded within 7-10 days.

Domain names cannot be cancelled once the grace period has expired.

How to I recover my account password?

Please visit the Control Panel Login page and select "Recover password online". Enter your account name and follow the directions on the subsequent page to obtain your account password.

I am having trouble logging in to my account control panel.

For legacy account owners, where your domain name was automatically used as your account username, please ensure you enter your domain name and the applicable extension (i.e. "yourdomain.com", "yourdomain.net", etc.). You should not include the preceding "www.".

As accounts may now include multiple domain names and hosting plans, we recommend that legacy account owners use a more global username. You can change your account username from the "My Account" area of the account control panel.

You may have entered your password incorrectly. Passwords are case sensitive, so "Password" is not the same as "password". If you have misplaced your password, please see the above FAQ.

If you have followed the above instructions, but are still unable to log in to your account control panel, please contact the Customer Care Center for assistance.

My registration term appears to be a day less than a full year. Why is that?

When a domain name is renewed, the new domain expiration date is based on the original registration date. The algorithm used to calculate the expiration date is occasionally modified to allow for leap years and other corrections. These changes are reflected upon the next renewal. This method of calculation applies to all registrars.

Once my domain has been deleted is there anything I can do to get it back?

.com and .net domain names are assigned "REDEMPTIONPERIOD" status for approximately 30 days following the expiration date. FastVirtual can retrieve your domain name during this period. Once this period has passed, domain names can no longer be retrieved. In this instance, you would need to wait for the domain name to be released to the public, then register the the domain name again.

.org domain names are assigned "Restorable" status for approximately 30 days following the expiration date. FastVirtual can retrieve your domain name during this period. Once this period has passed, domain names can no longer be retrieved.

If your expired .com, ,net or .org domain name is still within the retrieval period, and you want FastVirtual to retrieve it for you, please download the Redemption Period Retrieval Authorization Form. The form should be completed in full and sent by Fax or mail to our Customer Care Center.

This service is subject to an $80.00 processing fee, plus a one year domain renewal fee. Fees are payable via credit card, cashiers check or money order.

The domain retrieval process is usually completed within 2-7 business days.
