Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: A charge listed as HOVER* DOMAIN represents a domain name registration, annual renewal, or custom email hosting invoice managed through Hover, a domain registrar owned by Tucows Inc. (Hover). Many individuals and businesses use Hover to purchase web addresses (such as .com, .org, or country-code domains) or set up personalized mailbox routing. If you registered a website address in previous years, this line item represents your ongoing Hover Domain Registration by Tucows.
Unreviewed registry note: This charge appears because domain names and custom email accounts renew automatically every twelve months to prevent websites and business communications from expiring abruptly. Hover bills the payment method on file roughly thirty days before the actual expiration date of the domain to ensure uninterrupted DNS resolution. The amount on your statement typically ranges from $15.99 for standard .com renewals up to $40 or more for premium top-level domains or attached mailbox packages.
