| Domain Names FAQ |
|
Will you register a domain name for me when I order? |
| Absolutely! Just specify the name you want when placing your order. |
What is the cost for you to register a domain name for me? |
| It costs just $19.95 per year of registration—much less than what many of the "big-name" registrars charge. |
What system do you use to register domain names? |
| We use the ICANN-accredited Tucows OpenSRS system. OpenSRS is considered to be one of the safest, most reliable domain registration systems in existence. Because we are an OpenSRS Registered Service Provider, we are able to purchase domain names at wholesale prices and pass the savings along to our customers. |
Do you register the domain name in your name or mine? |
| We register the domain name with you listed as the owner. You have complete control should you ever want to sell your domain name or move your domain name to another hosting service. You are also listed as the administrative and billing contact; we list ourselves only as the technical contact. |
If I register a domain name through you but later decide to switch hosting companies, will I have control over my domain name? |
| Yes, we offer a full-featured control panel that allows you to make changes changes to your domain name at any time; this control panel is independent of our hosting service. If you wish, you may also transfer your domain name to another registrar; there are no fees or penalties for doing this. |
Will I be able to renew my domain name? |
| Yes, you can renew your domain name at any time. As a courtesy, we will notify you at least 30 days prior to your domain name expiration date, giving you plenty of time to renew. If you do not wish to use a domain name any longer, you can simply let it expire and you will not be charged. |
I currently have a website hosted with another company. Can I transfer the domain name to your hosting service? |
| Yes! You simply need to change the domain name server (DNS) information for your domain name with the company that your domain name is registered with. We will give you the information you need after your order is processed. If you have any questions about transferring your domain name, just contact us and we will be more than happy to help you. |
My domain name is currently registered with another registrar. Can I transfer it to your service to take advantage of your lower prices when it comes time to renew the domain name? |
| Absolutely! The cost of the transfer is $17.50, and will add one year to the time remaining on your current registration. You can transfer your domain name at any time, you don't need to wait until it is near expiration (you will receive credit for the time remaining on your current registration). |
Can you host "country code" domain names (such as .com.mx, .co.jp, .tv, etc.)? |
| Yes, we can host any legal domain name extension; however, we are currently registering domains with .com, .net, .org, and .biz extensions. |
Can I have more than one domain name "pointing" to my website? |
| Yes. Many customers want the .com, .net, and .org versions of their domain name all pointing to their website; there is no charge to set this up. If you need additional domain names registered, we will be happy to do so for you at our regular registration prices. |
What is your policy for domain name ownership disputes? |
| This is covered by the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy. |
