Domain
Name Registration
Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ)
What
is a domain name?
A domain name is the essence of your company's online identity. It is the
address your customers use to find information about your products and services
on the web. Domain names (also URL) allow Internet users to type in a name,
such as MyName.com
(or ...
.net or ...
.org) to identify a
numeric Internet Protocol (IP) address such as 204.223.61.221.
The purpose of domain names is to allow users connected to the Internet the
ability to find web sites without having to memorize the long, numerical (IP)
addresses that actually locate the computers or servers on the Internet.

Why
are your fees so low?
Our system is completely automated; this cuts down on the man power it would
normally take to provide such a service. The domain registration market is
wide open to companies like 123-Domain-Registration.net, and since the competition
is fierce, we decided to minimize our profits in web hosting and domain name
registration per customer to attract a large number of customers and to function
as a wholesale domain name registry service. Our commitment to low prices
reflects both volume savings, as well as the efficiency of our leading-edge
automated technology.

What
does it mean to "register" a domain
name?
There is a central registry of all domain names on the Internet.
For your domain name to become a part of the registry, your domain
name needs to be added to that registry. "Registering" a domain
name means you are associated with that domain name for the period
of the registration. "Registering" a name means you own it, and no
one else can register that exact same name!

Who
should register a domain
name?
Anyone thinking about establishing a presence on the Internet
should register a domain name. You don't have to utilize it right
away, but you can reserve it for your future use. Domains are
being registered at the rate of more than several hundred thousand
per month - they go quickly!

How
long does the registration process
take?
The application process should only take a few minutes to
complete. All registrations take place in real time - once your
application has been processed and approved, your name is
registered.

Is
it possible for someone to register my domain name after I have
registered it?
The availability of .com, .net and .org domain names is verified
through a central registry system. This system prevents a domain
name that is successfully registered from being registered by
another person or entity. Our registration and processing system
updates the central registry in real time.

If
a domain name is already registered, can I find out who owns the
name?
Yes. If you check the availability of a domain name and it is
already registered, click on the box: "Show Registrant
Information". This will display the contact information associated
with a registered domain name.

I've
got my domain name, now what?
There are many things you can do with your new domain. Some people want to
build a website for their corporate or personal use. If that is the case,
you might want to host your site with us (but you can also host it with any
other web host). Contact your web host, and get their Domain Name Server Info
(DNS Info .. if hosting with us, the DNS already points to our servers). You
can have the new DNS info put into your domain by clicking on the "Manage
Your Domain" link. The domain will then transfer to your new web host in 12-48
hours. Others want to do email addresses. Again, get the DNS info of your
ISP. You can have them set up mailboxes to route from your domain being hosted
on their web servers. Some just want to resell their domain name. In that
case, you may certainly sell your new domain to whomever you like. You may
transfer your domain to a new buyer by using our "Transfer of Ownership" form
in the "Manage Your Domain" section.

I
own a new domain, but when I type it into my browser, nothing
comes up.
Again, a domain name is not a website, just a web address for a
website. If you want your new domain to be a web address for a
website for your corporate or personal use, you must contact a web
design/hosting company. Once they have a website ready for you, we
can have your new domain hosted by their servers. Contact your web
host, and get their Domain Name Server Info (DNS Info). You can
have the new DNS info put into your domain by clicking on the
"Manage Your Domain" link. The domain will then transfer to your
new web host in 24-48 hours. If you already have a website,
and registered a new domain for it, be aware that some hosting
companies do not accept a domain being hosted on their host
servers (members.abigisp.com/your-abigisp-site~template1765, for
example) Also, it may take a few days for the routing to
propagate to your new host on an acceptable server.
