: Domain Name FAQ's
:::
What is a domain name?
A domain name is a unique name that
is registered to you, and only you
are allowed to have a web site and
receive emails in this name. Domain
names are paid for and registered
for you by web hosting and domain
name registration companies. Domain
names are allocated to you for a
certain period of time from 1 - 10
years, and after this period they
are renewable. If you want to keep
the name then you must pay a renewal
fee.
Who
owns my domain?
You do. We always register with the
domain registries on your behalf.
You can have your domain for life
provided you keep the agreed fees
paid.
Can I move my domain?
Yes. In fact, you can take the
domain to any provider if you wish.
If you already have a domain
registered with a different company
you can transfer it FREE to DNS
Hosting
What about hidden charges?
There are absolutely none at DNS
Hosting, GUARANTEED.
Some of our rivals project tempting
prices and then load registration
fees and termination charges on top.
We have simple and transparent
pricing that is geared to keep our
customers happy and in control.
Can I use my new domain for
Email?
Yes and Free of charge. If you want
a POP3 mailbox to act as a dedicated
Post Office for your mail, we will
set one up for you FREE of charge.
What is Domain Parking?
Parking is where your domain name
registration company will store (or
park) your domain name for you,
until you have decided what to do
with it.
What are Naming Authority Fees?
Through out the world you have
various naming authorities. These
companies are responsible for the
managing of the domain names that
are registered in that country. In
the UK, Nominet is the naming
authority and they charge a fee for
each domain name that is registered.
What are transfer fees?
If you want to transfer your domain
name from one hosting company to
another, then either company may
charge you a fee to do so. We do not
charge you to transfer your domain
away from us. |
