Will my name and contact information be publicly available? - Top Yes. Information about who is responsible for domain names is publicly available to allow rapid resolution of technical problems and to permit enforcement of consumer protection, trademark, and other laws. The registrar will make this information available to the public on a "Whois" site. 2. Do you handle Foreign Domain Name Registrations? - Top We currently house domains from countries all over the world and can house any valid domain name extension. 3. Do you handle Domain Name Registrations? - Top Yes. We can register your domain name if it is available. 4. How can I get a domain name ending in .com, .net or .org? - Top Domain names ending with .com, .net or .org can be registered through many different companies known as "Registrars". 5. What is a NIC handle? - Top A NIC handle is a unique identifier assigned to each domain name record, contact record, and network record in the InterNIC domain name database. You can use the same NIC handle as the contact for several domains. This way, if you make a change to the NIC handle (i.e., the email address), all domains using that NIC handle will be updated as well. Thus keeping all your information in the InterNIC database updated. 6. What if one of the contacts declines the modification? - Top As long as you are the listed owner, you can follow the procedure above and fax the authorization in with a valid ID. To expedite this further you may want to place a phone call to InterNIC at 703-742-4777, in most cases they will process your request while you are on the phone with them. 7. I received an error on the application filed, what do I do? - Top You will need to correct the error and re-send the application. This should be done by directly replying to the InterNIC email and not by filing an entirely new form. To avoid any delays in approving your domain name, make all corrections on the 'error email' itself sent by InterNIC. 8. How long does modifying a domain name take? - Top Once the listed administrative or technical contact on the Whois records authorizes the verification request sent by email, modification usually takes 72 hours for domain propagation around the world. 9. What is the procedure to modify a domain name? - Top You will fill out the same form except, highlight 'M' for modify rather than 'N' for a new domain. It is very important that you use the same company name and address on the template as that which is on file at InterNIC. If the company name differs from that which is on file, InterNIC will treat the transfer as a new order and will not allow the transfer to be completed. 10. Can I transfer/modify an existing domain name? - Top Yes. You can place an order by telephone or through our online order form, but make sure you specify that you are requesting a transfer and NOT a new domain. You should keep the service at your present site while waiting for your domain name to transfer. We will provide you with a temporary IP address so you can mirror your site on our server. All email and web pages will still be accessed from your current site. When InterNIC receives the template, they will send an authorization request to the current administrative contact of the domain. Once the administrative contact authorizes the transfer, InterNIC will update their records. 11. What’s in a name? - Top A domain name takes the form of a company name or associated brand name, succeeded by a recognized Internet suffix. For example, company ABC Inc. might register the name abc.com. The .com is a domain name suffix. There are well over 400 of these suffixes. Domain suffixes often reveal the organization's location, and its status. For example, UK Domains include .co.uk, .org.uk, .net.uk, .ltd.uk, and .plc. uk. These are all registered on a first-come, first-serve basis. Other country code domains Each country has its own country code domain, e.g., .fr for France, .ru for Russia, or .dk for Denmark. Procedures for registering domain names differ considerably around the world. Some countries allow anyone to register a domain name whether or not they have a presence there. (These are often known as ‘high-risk’ countries). In others, a local presence is required, although one person or organization can register any number of domain names. Elsewhere, not only is a local presence required, but only one name can be registered, which has to be the same name as the registering company. Generic domains Generic domains are available for anybody to register on a first-come, first-serve basis. Generic domains are not associated with any one country, and consequently are also known as ‘International’ domains. The suffix ‘.com’ is universally recognized. It is the domain of choice for US Corporations. It is also popular with companies that have a global presence or distribution network. Other generic domains include .net, and .org. This list will probably be added to in the near future. 12. Are .com, .net, and .org domain names available for registration on a globaly? - Top Yes. The .com, .net, and .org domains are available for registration by Internet users across the globe. ICANN accredited domain name registrars are also located in various countries around the world. 13. What are the rules for the registration of .com, .net and .org names? - Top Rules for .com, .net and .org Domain Name registrations: .com - to be used for commercial and personal sites .org - recommended for not-for-profit organizations .net - recommended for companies involved in data networking especially related to the Internet Use only letters, numbers, or dash ("-") Cannot begin or end with a dash Must have at least 3 characters, but cannot have more than 67*, (including .com, .net and .org) Domain Names are not case sensitive Domain Names cannot include spaces * .com, .net and .org domain names exceeding a total of 26 characters are supported by most web browsers. However, certain web browsers, email programs and other Internet related applications may not support domain names over 26 characters. 14. When do I have to pay for my domain name? - Top Before your domain name becomes active, you must provide a credit card number or any other form of payment. This requirement enhances the availability of domain names by preventing them from being tied up by individuals not intending to pay for registration. 15. What is a domain name? - Top A domain name provides you with an identity, or address, on the Internet. It helps you to find and to be found. When a server is searching for something on the World Wide Web, it looks for a string of digits known as an IP network address, (e.g. 156.130.43.30). A domain name is the text translation of this IP address, which is easier to remember than a string of digits. Registering a suitable domain name on the Internet is the equivalent of registering a company name. Once it has been registered, no one else can use that name. Because so many companies have similar names, it is important to register a suitable domain name as soon as possible.
