Domain Name
Registration
(InterNIC)
Your
domain name is your unique name for your web site. You must register your
domain name with an accredited registrar to reserve the right to use the unique
name you have selected. Web
Site Focus will research your name to be sure it is available and handle the
registration of your domain name for FREE when we design your web site. There is
a wealth of information about the registration process, as well as a glossary of
terms on the InterNIC site, which can be found at
http://www.internic.net. Before
you can register your domain name, you must check to see if your name is
available. You can do this by accessing the database at http://internic.net,
or with the company who will register your domain name for you. The
minimum initial registration period used to be for 2 years initially, but some
extensions may now be registered for 1 year initially. The original domain
names ended with .com, .net or .org, but new extensions are being added all the
time. Some of the newer extensions now available include .biz, .info, .tv
and .us.
We highly recommend registering your domain name
through
ReDot Systems.
ReDot Systems charges $35 to register your domain name for 2 years. This
includes FREE parking on their servers, FREE domain pointer/forwarding to
another web site if requested and a default home page which can be customized.
Network Solutions used to be the only company with whom you could register a
domain. The standard cost to register your domain name with them is
currently $35 for one year - twice the cost of
ReDot Systems.
Our experience has been that
Network Solutions and Verisign are impossibly difficult to deal with and we
would not recommend them under ANY circumstances.
