| Are domain names case sensitive? |
No they are not, so domainname.com is the same as DOMAINNAME.com. They are the same name, and can never point to two different sites. When you are looking for a domain name, you can type the name in lower, upper, or mixed case - it makes no difference. |
| |
| Can I use my own nameservers? |
Yes, you can use your own
name servers. Go to your domain management tool control panel and simply enter the
name server you wish to use. You do not need to type in the IP addresses. These are looked up automatically by the DNS.

| What are the valid characters for a domain name? |
A domain name can be up to 63 characters (letters, numbers or combination) long plus the 4 characters used to identify the domain extension (.com, .net, .org). The only symbol character domain names can include is a hyphen (-) although the domain name cannot start or end with a hyphen. Common symbols such as asterisks (*), under scores (_), and exclamation points (!) are not allowed.

| What does it mean to 'register a domain name'? |
There is a central registry database of all domain names on the Internet. In order for your domain name to be recognized, it must be in the registry. 'Registering a domain name' means you are associated with that domain name for the period of the registration. |

| What is a domain name? |
Similar to how your house address indicates where you live in the world, a domain name indicates where your web site's location is on the Internet. Generally people want domain names that are easy to remember so that others can locate their web site very easily.
A domain name is an alias for a particular numeric Internet Protocol (IP) address. (An IP address is a string of four numbers ranging from 0-255 separated by periods called dots. A typical IP address could look something like: 64.202.115.189) Every computer connected to the Internet has at least one IP address that uniquely identifies it from all other computers on the Internet. Because numeric IP addresses are relatively difficult for people to remember, the domain name system (DNS) was created to allow people to associate meaningful and easy-to-remember aliases with actual IP addresses. Since every IP address is unique, every domain name must also be unique. Domain names correspond to numeric IP addresses and the DNS matches domain names to IP addresses so that users of the Internet only have to remember domain names, not numbers. |
| |
| What is the difference between .com, .net, and .org domain names? |
The domain suffixes were originally intended to differentiate between various types of organizations on the Internet, in the following way:
.com -- businesses and commercial enterprises
.net -- network-related organizations and enterprises
.org -- charitable or non-profit organizations
However, these days, there are many for-profit organizations using .org addresses, and non network-related companies using .net addresses, so really, it's up to you to choose the name that you want, dot com names being far the most popular choice. |
| |
| Who should register a domain name? |
Anyone planning to establish a presence on the Internet should register a domain name. Domains can be brand names, trademarks, service marks, company names, products, services, family names, your name, organizations, interests, etc.
If a company conducts business over the Internet, or even if that company plans to do so in the future, they should register their domain name(s) now. Once a name is taken, it's gone. |

| Why can't I find my web page? |
