A domain name tells people (and the computers they use) how to find your website or homepage on the Internet. Each domain name is assigned to a numerical IP (Internet Protocol) address by your host provider. Internet domain names provide a system of easy-to-remember Internet addresses which are translated by DNS (Domain Name Servers) into numeric IP.
An Internet domain name is unique and allows you to have an "identity" on the Internet. Domain names are typically allocated by the domain registrars on a "first come, first served" basis - currently in excess of 200,000 domain names are being registered per month!
You should register your domain name NOW as in the near future most of the memorable domain names will have been taken and only obscure domain names will remain.
Registering a domain name for your business or organization is essential to your marketing efforts. It adds value to your Internet presence and gives your business a unique identity on the World-Wide Web and is therefore of great value to your organization. Remember domain names are not just for businesses or organizations - many people register names for their own personal use.

Generally, if you've registered the name in good faith, it's not a name belonging to an internationally known company, and you can show that you have a legitimate reason to use that name, then you are likely to be able to keep that name. That may not be the case if it can be shown that you purchased the name for the express purpose of re-selling it to a company with a legitimate claim to the name. Please see the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy for details.

Choose a name that reflects the intent and purpose of your web site or business. Try to keep it short and snappy, and say it out loud, as if you were telling someone at a party to visit your web page. Some domain names look good on paper, but are confusing when you try to send someone to them over the phone. When facing a large number of choices, the snappiest domain sometimes grabs the most attention.

In order for you to register a domain name you need a Domain Name System (DNS) server to host it. When you register a domain name with us, we are hosting your domain name on our DNS. We are holding or "parking" the domain name for you. We point your domain name to an "Under Construction Page" so that your website visitors know that it will be available soon. One of the services that we offer is called Register and Point . We register your name and create a record in our DNS server. The domain name points to an existing website with a static IP address.

You have the option to move your domain name off of our servers to another Internet Service Provider (ISP) or Host provider at any time at no extra charge. You may make any modifications by logging in the Domain Admin area.

Web hosting is providing space on a server connected to the Internet for you so that you can use your registered domain name to identify your website. You do not have to sign up for our web hosting package in order to register a domain name but if you take a look at what you get you probably don't want to miss the deal.

That is the way online transactions and data collection may be secured against third party onlookers. Almost 95% of our customers pay by Credit Cards using a secure form. This is how Netscape describes SSL: SSL uses authentication and encryption technology developed by RSA Data Security Inc. The encryption established between you and a server remains valid over multiple connections, yet the effort expended to defeat the encryption of one message cannot be leveraged to defeat the next message. A message encrypted with 40-bit RC4 takes on average 64 MIPS-years to break (a 64-MIPS computer needs a year of dedicated processor time to break the message's encryption). The high-grade, 128-bit U.S. domestic version provides protection exponentially more vast. The effort required to break any given exchange of information is a formidable deterrent.
