Name Registration Process
|
The domain name registration process has been
going through a number of changes since the breakup of the
Network Solutions Inc. (NSI) monopoly. Now many
alternative Domain Registrars have evolved with more
sophisticated systems for altering the registration information
and better pricing options. Although today you are mostly
confined to the following Top
Level Domain (TLD) extensions very soon there will be 7 new
extensions (see below) released into the domain name system. Register
name now. Search name now.

rules for Domain Registration are constantly changing, we keep a
watchful eye on them, leaving you to do more productive things,
like grow your online business. Register

names will be going fast. We are Global
Partners with IDR and we, unlike other registrars, are able to
look up and reserve the new 67 character names right now.

| Service
Cost |
XPhosting.Net requires only a $50 fee
for the first two years registration. This is $20 less
than the current $70 NSI fee for the same time period.
More discounts are available if you purchase longer contract
periods (up to ten years). Many people who have an idea
for a web site can register the domain name and park
the site until they ask to have it activated. We
provide this service free of charge for any domain names we
register. NSI charges $199 for this same type of service. Register
name now. |
| Other
Than .com Domains |
Forever Domain
Name with a one-time fee: We can acquire an official
" US States" domain name for a " one-time"
registration fee of $100. This is a little known domain
registration service available through any state in the US.
Any business or individual can use it. The address would
look like this www.your_domain.your_city.st.us.
Here is a sample: www.telecomputers.freeport.ny.us
which points to TELEcomputers Services'
main site. This can assist you to come
up in the search engines or you can use it as your
main web site address. Register
name now. |
| 800
number .com Domains |
We can also acquire a domain name
that uses your existing 800 number. Like ours at www.800766TELE.com.
We have this set up to redirect to our main site but you could use
it as your main domain. This can assist you to not only come
up in the search engines and directories but can also advertise
your toll free number (like ours) or you can use it as your
primary domain name address. If you like this concept but
don't have an 800 type number, this service
can assist you to find a unique number 800 number based on your company
name and then we register it for you. Register
name now. |
| Recently
Expired Domains |
Our database now includes millions of
domain names that were not renewed by their previous owners for
a variety of reasons. It is possible that a name you may
have looked to acquire in the past is now freely available, as
it may have come back into circulation. Do a name
search and see what's available or fill out this
form (which sends us up to three keywords) and we will tell
you hundreds of names that are currently available. Register
name now. |
| Who
owns the Domain Name? |
You are the owner and will remain the
owner as long as you pay your registration renewal fees at the
end of your current registration term. Your ownership of the
name means you can change any information you want on the
domain. Sell the name. Transfer it anywhere you like. Use
whatever hosting or email services you want. You have total
flexibility when registering through XPhosting.Net. Register
name now. |
| Transfer
Names Registered elsewhere |
You may transfer your domain name to
XPhosting.Net at anytime. Most client's who host through
us transfer upon their next registration renewal, but we can
make the transfer earlier if you so desire. Keep in mind
that you do not have to register a domain name with us to have
your domain hosted on our Windows NT Servers. Register
name now. |
| New
Domains point to existing Web Site |
Yes, we can redirect all the traffic
going to your new domain to an existing domain (ie - www.yournewdomain.com
will automatically send visitors to www.preexistingsite.com)
or you can even point the traffic to a subdirectory like www.preexistingsite.com/sales/special.

| Email
Services |
Our powerful email servers run Imail
software for Windows. The email for parked sites
will all be forwarded to one email address that you choose.
Every full web site plan has a different number of POP3 accounts
allowed as well as unlimited aliases and forwarding. See
our Hosting Plans for detailed
information about these services. Register
name now. |
| Email
Forwarding |
Yes, you can choose any existing
email address you have to receive all email traffic from your
new domain. So for example if you choose your forwarding
address to be yourname@aol.com
all email traffic send to anyname@newdomain.com
will auto-forward to that address. You will have an
unlimited number of addresses you can use, all of which will all
automatically be forwarded to that email account or any other
email address you choose. If you have a full domain web
site you can also retrieve your POP3 email through our online
iMail page from any browser anywhere in the world.
Additionally, you can use any email software program (like
Outlook, Outlook Express, etc.) to retrieve it.
