Domain Name Registration Questions

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is an easy to remember name for a web site.  Instead of using IP addresses, which are a unique identifier for every computer on the Internet, Domain Names simplify finding a website.  Much like speed dial by name is easier than remembering everyone's phone number.

Why do I have to register a domain name?

Just like IP addresses, each Domain Name must be unique.  There are over 1 billion different Domain Names currently in use on the Internet and keeping track of them all is no small task.  In order to keep multiple people from claiming the same name on the Internet, you must register your Domain Name with one of the companies that shares this monumental task.

How long does it take to register a Domain Name?

It can take anywhere from 12 hours to 3 days to register a Domain Name, assuming it isn't already taken.  The registrar that we work with currently, Internet Domain Registrars, typically takes about 12 hours.  This is far quicker than some other registrars, which claims a minimum or 72 hours.

How do I register a Domain Name?

The first step in the registration process is to check on the availability of your Domain Name.  If it is available, current customers can simply fill out our Domain Registration Request Form and we will take care of the rest.  New customers can fill out our Domain Registration Order Form.

How much does Domain Name Registration cost?

Through our partnership with Internet Domain Registrars, we can offer Domain Name registration for $50 for 2 years.  This is a $20+ savings over other registrars.
