In April 2007, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) approved certain domain registries to increase their prices. Domain registries are the private companies which manage the registration, technical operations, and control the allocation policies of the TLD's for which they are responsible.
Domain registries VeriSign, Afilias, Neulevel and Public Interest Registry applied for and received price increases and have announced they will be raising their wholesale prices to all ICANN-accredited registrars.
In light of that decision, we will be adjust our pricing structure as follows:
Q: Can I register a domain name if I am not ready to sign up for hosting yet?
A: You can register your domain name and you can set up a hosting account later. We will point your domain name to our servers so that when you sign up for hosting, your new domain name will be ready to use. (No transfer will be necessary.) Register a .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, .us, .ws, .nu or .cc domain name.
Q: Why should you register a domain name?
A: They are scarce. Internet domain names are a rapidly diminishing commodity. They are allotted on a first-come first-serve basis. There can only be one "yourcompany.com" on the Internet, so make sure you register your organization quickly before it is too late. The longer you wait, the less likely you will be able to get your specialized name.
They are important. The Internet domain name has become a vital part of corporate identity. In the 21st Century, your domain name will be as important as your trademark and your presence in a global marketplace. They are versatile. Any E-Mail addressed to you at jsmith@yourcompany.com can be forwarded to your current E-Mail address.
Q: Can I purchase multiple domain names and point them to my main site?
A: Yes you can, we offer this service for FREE.
Important!
If you are remotely considering using the Internet and World Wide Web for your business or personal use, we highly recommend that you register your domain name as soon as possible (there is a current load of 17,000 registrations per day). Once registered, you will own the domain name and no one else in the world will be able to get it.
Q: Is the money you charge in addition to the $70 InterNIC charges?
A: No. You only pay for your domain ownership and nothing else.
Q: Why shouldn't I host my website with a company that offers Free domain registration?
A: Some hosting companies offer FREE domain registration while you host your website with their company. Then, if you decide to move your website to another host, you cannot take your domain name with you because the hosting company is the real owner of the domain name. We do not offer free domain registration because we want our customers to always have the option to go to another hosting company and to take their domain name with them. Doing it any other way is, in our opinion, not ethical.
Q: I changed my mind about the domain name that I registered. Is it too late to change it?
A: Once you register a domain name, you cannot "un-register" it. If you find that the domain name you chose no longer suits your business or personal needs, you should register another domain name. The domain name you originally registered will continue to be registered to you until the end of the registration period. Registration and re-registration fees are non-refundable.
