(D)Domain NameQ: How do I register a domain name and sign up for hosting at the same time? A: Advanced Web has partnered with BulkRegister.com to register domain names. To register a domain name you must find an available name and purchase it. This can be done through our site by going to sign-up. Ordering online is quick and simple at our convenient sign-up page. You can then check the availability of the domain name you would like and register your domain. First, fill out the domain name registration information and choose the length of time to register your domain. One year is $12.00. Once you complete the ordering process, you should receive an email with our "Welcome Letter" to the email address you specified on the form. It's important to give an e-mail address that you currently use, and not an e-mail address you plan to use once you set up your account. The information contained within the "Welcome Letter" will allow you to access the account and upload your web site should you already have it designed. The "Welcome Letter" also provides you with information on how to setup your e-mail account and many of the other features available to you. Q: I changed my mind about the domain name that I registered. Is it too late to change it? A: Once you register a domain name, you cannot "un-register" it. If you find that the domain name you chose no longer suits your business or personal needs, you should register another domain name. The domain name you originally registered will continue to be registered to you until the end of the registration period. Registration and Domain Registration renewal fees are non-refundable. Q: Should I register more than one domain name? A: Many search engine optimization and marketing companies recommend that you buy additional names that have your keywords in them. You can do that through your control panel and park them and use them in e-mail campaigns or paper clip programs. Q: What characters can I use in my domain name? A: Just a reminder. Domain names can only use letters, numbers, and hyphens ("-"). Spaces and other symbols are not allowed. Cannot begin or end with a hyphen. Domain names are not case sensitive. Domains ending in .com, .net, and .org domain names cannot exceed 63 characters total. Other domain names cannot exceed 22 characters, not including the extension. Q: What is a Sub Domain Account? A: A sub-domain account is an account that can be setup to be re-directed to a sub-directory under your main account. For example info.yourdomain.com is considered a sub domain. The only requirement is that your main domain name (yourdomain.com) be hosted on our servers. Q: Do I need to pay attention to my domain registration's expiration date and ensure it is kept current? A: Yes. It is your responsibility to verify that the registration of your domain name is complete. And, when the domain name registration comes up for renewal, the Domain Name Registration Company ordinarily will email the contact for your domain to remind you it will soon expire. If you do not keep your domain name's registration current, then the domain registration will expire and the domain would then become available for others to register. It is your responsibility to be certain that you keep your domain name registered. Q: What is a parked domain? A: A domain that shares the same ip address as your own domain and resides in the same hosting account as your main domain. It is an alias, utilizing, the same information as your main domain. Q: Where do I go to Manage my Domain? A: If you contact Advanced Hosting by e-mail we can provide you with a link to manage your domain. support@awadd.com Q: Can I register a domain name if I am not ready to sign up for hosting yet? A: yes Q: I already own a domain name, how do I get started with hosting? A: When you use the sign up form and enter your domain name make sure the do not register me button is checked. Q: How do I transfer my domain name so it points to Advanced Hosting Servers? A: All you need to do is edit your name server registration with your current registrar and change the host to: Primary Server: ns.awaddhosting.com Primary Server IP: 65.109.200.118 Secondary Server: ns2.awaddhosting.com Secondary Server IP: 65.109.200.182 Q: How long after I sign up will my domain name be usable? A: 24-48 hours. Q: Why shouldn't I host my Web site with a company that offers free domain registration? A: Some hosting companies offer FREE domain registration while you host your Web site with their company. Then, if you decide to move your Web site to another host, you cannot take your domain name with you because the hosting company is the real owner of the domain name. We do not offer free domain registration because we want our customers to always have the option to go to another hosting company and to take their domain name with them. Q: What are Advanced Hosting's name servers? A: Primary Server: ns.awaddhosting.com Primary Server IP: 65.109.200.118 Secondary Server: ns2.awaddhosting.com Secondary Server IP: 65.109.200.182 Q: Is Advanced Hosting responsible for managing my domain name? A: When your domain is about to expire, you will receive emails from your Domain Registrar explaining the expiration date and the process to renew your domain. You can purchase your domain from Advanced Hosting, but Advanced Hosting is not responsible for managing your contact information or renewing your domain name with the Domain Registrar. We can renew your domain information for you and bill you for it with your regular invoices if you prefer. Q: When my domain name is registered, who owns the domain name? A: You do. |
