Domain name and sub domain names
A domain name is an identification label to define a realm of administrative autonomy, authority, or control in the Internet, based on the Domain Name System (DNS). An important purpose of domain names is to provide easily recognizable and memorizable names to numerically addressed Internet resources. A domain name is basically a Web site address. For example, “washingtonpost.com” is the address of the Washington Post Web site; it’s also the site’s domain name.
In order to use a domain name, it must be registered with a registry. The domain name is registered for a specified period of time. i.e. one year, up to a maximum of ten years, and is renewable on an ongoing basis.When you purchase a domain name, it only belongs to you for the specified time you stated, in this case, one year. As long as you continue to renew it in a timely fashion, it will belong to you. It is important to keep track of the renewal period because if the domain name is not renewed, it can be registered by anyone for their own use.
We register your domain name(s) in real-time. However, domain names registered through us, or any other registrar using real-time registration, will take up to 72 hours to become accessible on the internet. This is the normal internet propagation time — the time for new DNS information to spread to the thousands of name servers all over the internet.
STEPS IN REGISTERING YOUR DOMAIN NAME:
1. Go to an official Internet registrar online.
2. Enter the name or phrase of the domain name you would like to register. Follow the rules regarding name length and format.
3. Search for the name.
4. If the name is already taken, enter a new name and search again until you find one that is still available. If you tried .com as a suffix, try .org or .net instead.
5. Register the domain name.
6. Pay the filing fee online or through the mail, following the instructions on the Web site.
7. If you need assistance you can contact sales team online.
After registering your domain name, you might need to buy a hosting account to host your web site.
