WHAT IS A DOMAIN NAME? A Domain Name is a unique
name that is the basis for a company's identity on the Internet/Web.This
name can be used for e-mail, World Wide Web sites and FTP(file transfer
protocol). Each domain name can be used by only one organization.
Once a domain is taken it is taken for good.
A DOMAIN NAME IS IN THE FORM
OF:your company.com. Used in an e-mail address it
could be used as follows:
your name@yourcompany.com
Legal@yourcompany.com
Customerservice@yourcompany.com
Etc.
USED TO LOCATE YOUR WEB SITE IN THE FORM OF:
http://www.yourcompany.com
WHY SHOULD I REGISTER MY DOMAIN
NAME NOW?If you do not register your Domain Name now
it may not be available by the time you NEED it. The
Internic assigns names on a first come first serve
basis. Domain Names are being registered in
phenomenal numbers right now. There are even
companies out there who do nothing but register
Domain Names so that they can sell them later when
people who never registered are in need. It is
already becoming difficult to register any popular
name at all.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR MY
REGISTRATION?
It usually takes from 24 to 48
hours during the week. In extremely rare cases it may
take up to a week.
CAN I REGISTER MY DOMAIN NAME
NOW EVEN IF I AM NOT READY TO USE IT?
Yes! Technically you need
somewhere to "park" the domain,basically a
server that the domain is "pointing" to. We
will point this domain to our Name Servers until you
are ready to use them. Once you are ready to use the
domain, you can either use one of our "Virtual
Servers" or have us point your domain to the
hosting provider of your choice.
I'M INCORPORATED, CAN'T I JUST SUE FOR MY NAME
WHEN I NEED IT AND GET IT BACK? Unless you have an international
trademark on the name, probably not. An incorporation only guarantees
your name in that state, and only for the purpose of your business.
There may be many other companies throughout the U.S. and world
wide who use the same name and they have just as much of a right
to the name as you.
