| How
can I modify my domain? |
| Contact
the registrar you registered your domain with to make
any changes. Usually, they would provide a web-based interface
where this can be done. |
| |
| Can
I register more than one domain? |
| Absolutely.
You can register and point as many domains as you need
to your website, however, there is a fee for each pointer
we setup for you. |
| |
| How
do I register a domain? |
| You
can do this at any domain registrar. We recommend www.DirectNic.com.
You can see a full list of domain registrars here: ICANN
Don't forget to use our Name Servers when asked. |

| What's
a domain pointer? |
| Usually
users have only one domain, theirdomain.com. However,
sometimes, there is more than one domain through which
a user wants to access his/hers website. This additional
domain is called a domain pointer/alias. There is a fee
you have to pay for additional domain pointers. See add-ons
for pricing information. |

| What's
a sub-domain? |
| The
concept of sub-domain is better illustrated by an example.
For instance you registered domain for your family - www.yourfamily.com.
Then you find out that Mom, Dad, and Brother all want
to have their own domain name. So instead of registering
a separate domain name for each of you, you can use a
sub-domain like so: dad.yourfamily.com mom.yourfamily.com
brother.yourfamily.com These three above are called sub-domains
of yourfamily.com, because they are located under yourfamily.com
domain effectively dividing it into three parts. |

| What's
a domain name? |
| Computers
in a network communicate using IP addresses (ex: 209.139.57.21).
But for us, humans, it's rather difficult to deal with
numbers. That's why DNS allows us to represent these addresses
using descriptive names. So, instead of connecting to
209.139.57.21 to get data, we can name that address: www.yourdomain.com.
That descriptive name is called a domain name. |
