In case of any discrepancies, you need to modify the current registrar’s information about the Registrant prior to submitting your order for Rucenter’s sponsorship of the domain. We suggest that you verify in advance with the current registrar if there are any restrictions on registrar change in connection with the abovementioned changes.
