| If I sign up for a new domain name, do I own
it and for how long? |
By paying the domain
registration fee, you license the rights to use the domain
name throughout the world for a specific time - usually for a
year or two. No matter whether you use it or where you host it
you will own it for the registration period.
|
| How many domains I can register? |
As long as you pay for
the domain names and use them according the terms of rules of
the registrar there will be no problem for you to register as
many domains as you need.
|
| How long does it take to setup my domain
name? |
After ordering, we will
update our internal DNS (domain name servers) within 24 hours.
Updating the registrar's DNSes usually takes up to 48 hours.
After that it is up to the Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
around the world to update their DNS to recognize your domain
name.
|
| Why do I need a domain name? |
All Domain Names are
unique. Your domain name is your identity on the World Wide
Web. For businesses and organizations, a domain name can help
brand your products and services. For individuals and clubs, a
domain can identify your affiliations, relationships, or can
just be your online personality.
|
| What is DNS and how does it work? |
The domain name system
(DNS) enables each machine connected on the Internet to be
recognized by a domain name. Every computer on the Internet
has a unique IP (Internet protocol) address which consists of
a string of numbers. Since the IP addresses can be difficult
to remember, the DNS allows a familiar string of letters (the
'domain name') to be used instead of the IP address. So
instead of typing the IP address' arcane string of numbers you
can type, for example, 'www.espn.com.'
|
| How do I register top-level domains? (e.g.
.com, .info, .net, .org, and .ws) |
The .com, .info, .net,
.org, and .ws TLDs are globally available and unrestricted.
Traditionally, however, names in .net have been used by
organizations involved in Internet infrastructure activities -
typically ISPs (Internet Service Providers) - while .org is
frequently used by non-commercial organizations. .biz is
available to businesses only. Albeit unrestricted, usage of
the .info TLD implies that the site content is of a primarily
informative nature.
|
| How do I register an international domain
name? (e.g., co.uk, .fr, .nl, etc.) |
We can only host your
international domain name. We do not register international
domain names. Each country has their own domain registry that
either operates directly with the public or through resellers.
You will need to find the particular international domain
registry and follow their procedures.
