Domain Names
Parking
Our Domain Parking service allows you to reserve your domain
name without putting a website on it. This service guarantees you the chosen
domain for a period of two years. With more than 10,000 domain names
disappearing every month, you need to act quickly to secure the domain name you
want. Register your domain name now, before it's gone. First, select your
desired domain name and provide us with your e-mail address, then fill out our
online application and we'll take care of the rest for you. The U.S. InterNIC
(yoursite.com, .net or .org) charges $70 for first two years and $35 per year
thereafter. We can "park" foreign domains, (yoursite.il, .co.uk, .de, .co.jp,
etc.) as well.
Pointers
You can have additional domain names point to your existing
hosting account. For example, if you own a clothing store you may wish to have
the domain names clothes.com, shirts.com, and jeans.com all point to your
account. This is an excellent way to increase your search engine visibility,
thus bringing more visitors to your site! You may change or add domain pointers
at any time through our secured online application form, simply choose the
"order online" option on our site, then follow the simple online
instructions.
FAQ
How long does it take for new domains or transferred domain
names to properly display my account?
For new domains: Once you receive notification that the
registration authority has registered your domain name it usually takes about 72
hours for the changes to propagate across the Internet. The reason that it takes
this long is because the system by which domain name lookup works is
hierarchical, and the caches on the servers must time-out before they request
new information for a domain. You can also check the status of your registration
on our domain search.
For
Transfers
The process normally takes 3-7 business days,
during which time you should be notified of the Transfer via e-mail. If this
takes more than 1-2 weeks, or if the registration authority does not contact you
in 3-4 business days, please send an e-mail to our sales office with the
following information:
- Your name
- Domain name
- Date of sign up
