Who is Hover?

Fair question. Hover is a division of Tucows Inc., a publicly-traded company that has served millions of Internet users worldwide since 1994. Tucows is one of the leading domain name registrars, with over 9 million domain names under management. (We're not going anywhere.) Hover is focused entirely on making domain and email management simple. We have great tools and we are in the process of making them better. We have a huge library of tutorials and help videos. Most importantly, we have a large, accessible, knowledgeable, eager customer support team to help you in any way we can.

What is happening with my domain name?

Your domain name is still yours and it should still be resolving to wherever you have been pointing it. Once you login to Hover, it will be there waiting for you and you can manage it (forward it, manage DNS, change settings, change account information) any time you like.

What if it expires amid the transition?

We will not let that happen. Hover always provides a 40-day grace period following the expiration of a domain name. So even if your domain name expired tomorrow, there would be plenty of time to get you set up in our system and get you renewed without any additional charge. If your domain name expired recently and you think you might have missed the renewal notices, we can try to help with that too. In short, we intend to do everything we can to make sure you happily own and manage your domain name at Hover for as long as you like.
