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
allow Internet users to type in a name, such as yourdomain.com,
to identify a numeric Internet Protocol (IP) address such
as 207.15.12.173. 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.

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. Only ICANN-approved
Registrars have access to the database. "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 300,000
per month- they go quickly!

How
long does the registration process take?
OrderYourDomain.com’s
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. The OrderYourDomain.com
registration and processing system updates the central registry
in real time.

What
methods of payment does ItsYourDomain accept?
OrderYourDomain.com
accepts all major credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, American
Express or Discover.

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 must contact a
web design/ hosting company- OrderYourDomain.com
does recommend No
Setup Web Hosting. 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 "Domain Manager"
link. The domain will then transfer to your new web host
in 24-48 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 i.e. No
Setup Web Hosting. 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 "Domain Manager"
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.
