Occasionally, after purchasing and registering a domain name, it may display a Reviewing status:
This status occurs when the domain contains certain keywords, such as:
Registered trademarks (e.g., selloninstagram.tld).
Alternative spellings or close misspellings of registered trademarks (e.g., amazoon.tld).
Names of public figures, including alternative or close spellings.
Reserved terms, which may be designated by governmental institutions or restricted for security reasons.
Other sensitive keywords, such as bank.
The domain reviewing process typically takes up to 24 hours.
What happens next?
After the review, one of two outcomes will occur:
If the domain is approved:
It will be automatically activated, and no further action is required.
If the domain is not approved:
The domain will be canceled, and a refund will be automatically processed according to Hostinger’s Refund Policy.
You will also receive an email explaining why the domain was canceled. If you believe the domain should have been approved, you should reply to the email.
How to respond to the email
If you believe the domain should have been approved, you can reply to the received email with including the following:
Proof of trademark ownership or a valid license.
A brief explanation of the domain’s intended use, and
Supporting documentation (e.g., company registration, licensing agreements, etc.).
Once documentation is provided, the review process typically takes 1–2 business days.
