Sorry I am so full of questions

Do you actually buy the domain name? Or are you paying to use it? Like renting it?

its yours
but it is only yours if you pay
i dont think this could be considered renting

So, when you buy it you own all rights to it? Is that correct?

Yes, you can do whatever you want with it. You need to know however that domain registrations are valid for a certain amount of time only, usually 1 to 10 years. You will need to renew your registration within that period.

it's like British leasehold system. You are renting it for a year. It still is governed by Icann, and when the year is up, you pay again or it goes free. You can multiple year buy ahead, but I am not sure yet if they have a way for you to buy them for forever?

No, you cannot buy it forever... Maximum is 10 years.

I guess you are right. You are not really buying it like you buy a house. You are buying ownership for a number of years. Maybe that is called renting... You get the idea.
