FAQs
|
|
|
| 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.
