How do domain names work?
A domain name works like an address forwarding service.
All of your Web site content sits on a computer with a unique address. This is called an IP address. An IP address is made up of a series of numbers, such as 123.23.234.45. Your domain name directs visitors to your site using this IP address.
We use domain names instead of IP addresses because most people find it easier to remember a name rather than a series of numbers.
What is a Name Server?
Name servers are the Internet's equivalent to phone books. A name server maintains a directory of domain names that match certain IP addresses (computers). The information from all the name servers across the Internet is gathered in a central registry.
This makes it possible for people across the Internet to access your Web site using a familiar domain name, instead of having to remember a series of numbers.
It usually takes about 4-8 hours for .COM and .NET domains and about 24-48 hours for all other domain extensions before name servers on other networks are able to access the information after the central registry gets it. This period is referred to as the propagation period.
Our name servers are:
If you purchased your hosting account before December 15, 2005 or after November 14, 2006 use the following name servers:
ns1.secureserver.net
ns2.secureserver.net
If you purchased your hosting account between December 15, 2005 and November 14, 2006, use the following name servers:
ns3.secureserver.net
ns4.secureserver.net
What do I do with my domain once it's been registered?
Besides setting up your Web site, there are a number of things you can do with your domain once you register it.
Sell it. Domain names can be a great investment. If you have registered a domain name that you are not using, maybe someone else can. Go to the Account Manager and set up a For Sale parked page for your domain name. Don't forget to include your contact information.
Protect your brand online. The more domain names you register, the better. Prevent others from registering a similar domain name to yours—just to steal away your customers. What to do with all these names? Forward them to your main domain name.
Hold on to it. Maybe you haven’t decided what to do with your new domain name. Don’t worry – there’s no rush. You can leave it parked with us for the length of your registration.
Can a domain registered elsewhere use your system to register new nameservers?
No. Your domain must be registered through us in order for you to use our system to register name servers for it.
If your domain name is with another registrar, you will need to register your nameservers through the domain's current registrar, Network Solutions, or InterNIC.
Please contact your current registrar or one of the above companies for more information.
However, you can assign nameservers that have already been registered through our system to domains that are registered elsewhere.
For more information about registering nameservers, please refer to Registering Your Own Name Servers.
If I register a domain from you, will I be listed as its registrant?
Any public domain registration that you register through us will have your name as the registrant, just as if you had registered it through any other ICANN certified Registrar like Network Solutions/Verisign or Register.com. You will be able to change all four contact fields for the domain whenever you want. You can change the name servers for your domain or use the domain to register your own name servers.
We do not charge for any of these services. You are free to work with your domain however and whenever you want to.
What is a top-level domain (TLD)?
A top-level domain (TLD) is the part of the domain name located to the right of the dot (" . "). The most common top-level domains are .com, .net, and .org. Some other popular top-level domains are .biz, .info, .name, and .ws. These common top-level domains have certain guidelines attached, but are for the most part available to any registrant, anywhere in the world.
There are also restricted top-level domains (rTLDs), like .aero, .biz, .edu, .mil, .museum, .name, and .pro, that require the registrant to represent a certain type of entity, or to belong to a certain community. For example, the .name TLD is reserved for individuals and .edu is reserved for educational entities.
Country-code TLDs (ccTLDs) are for Web sites and registrants of a particular geographic location. For example: bz (Belize), .ca (Canada), .dk (Denmark), .ec (Ecuador), ie (Republic of Ireland), .uk (United Kingdom), .us (United States), and .zw (Zimbabwe)
