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
