| What
is a domain and why do I need one? |
|
| A
domain name is your unique internet address. Most Internet
sites register with the InterNIC which issues domains
under the .com (commercial), .org (non profit), .net (network
infrastructure), and .gov (US federal government) top
level domains. There are also top level domains for every
country, such as .ca (Canada), .us (United States), and
.uk (United Kingdom).
Domain
names tend to be memorable so that people can find and
return to your site. For example, if your organization
was Widgets, Inc you would probably choose widgets.com. |

| How
much does it cost to register a domain name? |

two years to be paid in advance for a total of $US 70.
The InterNIC will send you an invoice via e-mail between
3 to 6 weeks after the domain is registered. |

| How
long does it take to register or move a domain name? |
|
| Our
"Gold Premier" partnership with InterNIC allows
us to fast-track your Domain Registrations and modifications.
Usually it only takes 1-2 business days for InterNIC to
process your domain registration application.
It
takes approximately two weeks for most of the world's
name servers to register a new or moved domain. |

| Will
I be able to access my domain name with or without the
WWW in front of it? |
|
Yes,
you can access the Index.aspx file in your html directory
by either the URL http://www.yourdomain.com or http://yourdomain.com.
The former is much more common. |
| Top |
| Can
multiple domains point to the same HTML files? |
|
Yes.
There
is a $35/year fee per additional domain. The additional
domain setup will configure a domain name to point to
the same web-root directory as your specified webhosting
account. To have this service installed, please order Domain
Plus. |

| What
is the difference between IP & HTTP Redirection? |
|

Redirection will redirect all requests for your domain,
that are sent to our name server, to the external IP
address that you have requested.
HTTP
Redirection will redirect all requests for your domain,
that are sent to our name server, to the external URL
that you have requested. |
