Here's your chance to
have a domain name that is short, personal and easy to remember.

What is a
domain name?
A domain name, such as yourname.com, is your website’s unique
identifier on the Internet. It can be thought of as the address where
your website resides. When you or your visitors type your domain name
into their browser’s address bar the browser will query your ISP
nameserver which will provide it with directions on how to find your
website. Your ISP’s nameserver will actually return the physical IP
(Internet protocol) address of your website’s webserver, which will be
a string of numbers such as 139.5.1.255, and your browser will then
find its way there.
You can see the advantages of the domain name system. While it is also
possible to get to your website simply by typing the numbers it is far
easier to remember a domain name than a bunch of numbers.
How do I choose a domain name?
A domain name should be easy to spell, easy to remember, relevant and,
above all, available! The length of a domain name is important as
well. One or two word domain names (eg. cars.com or rentalcars.com)
are easier to recall than multiple worded ones. Your domain could be
your business name itself (eg. myconsulting.com), a service you
provide (eg. managementconsulting.com) or something else you would
like associated with your business (eg. superiorsolutions.com). All
registrars and almost all hosts will have a search feature on their
website to find available domain names.
Try
Network Solution's WHOIS or
GoDaddy's WHOIS tool.
Enter the domain name you'd like; if it's available, they'll tell you
(and encourage you to buy it -- go for it!).
How long do I own my
domain name and what is a domain renewal?
When you register a domain name you generally only register it for a
year. This can be changed, of course, and you can register your name
for a number of years. Some country level domains are restricted in
the length of time they can be registered for. When a domain is about
to expire, you will normally receive a notice from your registrar
informing you of this and giving you the opportunity to renew your
domain with.
How do I report a domain name which has incorrect WHOIS data?
You can report .com/.net/.org/.biz/.info domains which have incorrect
WHOIS data at http://reports.internic.net/cgi/rpt_whois/rpt.cgi
I got a domain transfer notice from the "Domain Registry of
America". Is this legitimate?
No. The email you got is trying to make you transfer your domain to
the Domain Registry of America is a con to make you transfer your
domain to them who charges higher prices than most other registrars.
Thier pricing webpage at https://www.droa.com/pricechart.asp says that
they charge $25/year which is high in the domain name industury. Thier
homepage at http://www.droa.com claims that the "industry standard
price for 2 year registration" is $70/year which is a lie.
