Below you can
find some commonly asked questions that you might find helpful.
If there is a question that is not covered please contact
us.
What
is a domain name?
A domain name is the "base" component of every Internet
address (web site, e-mail, etc.). It identifies the company
the address belongs to. For example, ABC Inc. could register
the domain name ABC-INC.COM.
How long can the name
be, and what characters are allowed?
Your Domain name can be up to 50 characters long. This does
not include your .com,.net, or .org. characters. They include
all letters A to Z and all digits 0 to 9. You may also use
the character "-", but it cannot be a leading
or trailing character. The domain name system does not recognize
capital letters. You may enter capital letters, but they
will be translated into small letters.
What is
the price for domain registration?
The price for registration is fixed by InterNIC the official
registration people. They charge $70 for 2 years. We include
this charge in our Web Site designing fee.
Do I need
to register all three domain name extensions: .com, .net
and .org?
You may register all three name extensions to ensure that
your competitors do not piggy back off your success. We
do not think that it is absolutely necessary to do this.
If you do decide to register the other name extensions it
will be at your own expense. We will register the extra
name extensions for you as a service to you.
What
is a URL?
The term URL means Uniform Resource Locator. This is the
string of information that lets people locate specific sites
on the Internet. A URL is unique - meaning that no two are
exactly alike. It is a description of a computer's location
on the Internet much like your home address describes your
location within a city.
What
if the name I want to use is already taken?
It means that someone on the Internet has already secured
that name for his or her own site, and that name is probably
gone. You may try a slight variation on that name, think
up a new one, register the same name with a different domain
extension or contact us and we will suggest another name.
How do
I use my new domain?
Once we have completed the registration of your domain name,
the next step will be to design your Web Site. If you already
have an idea of how the layout of your site should look,
we will write the code to make it look the way you want
it. Otherwise we will design it so that it meets your approval.
What
are the chances of my name being misspelled by your staff
during the submission process?
Zero. We submit your domain name to the Registry exactly
the way you spelled it during the subscription process.
What
are the ten search engines you will be submitting my Web
Site to?
The search engines we will be submitting your Web Site
to are: Yahoo, Alta Vista, Netscape, Northern Light, Excite,
Webcrawler, Lycos, Hot Bot, Infoseek and Planet Search.
