Right way: register a domain before!

You can register a domain without having a hosting provider yet. And you have to. This is a right track - register a domain before you get hosting. You can register as many domains names as you'd like and choose to have them parked until you find a hosting provider. To do so, register a domain name and select "Parking." If this option is chosen, a temporary Parked Page displays whenever somebody types your domain name in their browser. This temporary page will inform anyone passing by that this is the future location of your site. A parked page will be active in 4-8 hours for .COM and .NET domains and about 24-48 hours for all other domain extensions.

We can charge less for domain registration than other registrars.

We do not purchase domains through Network Solutions, Register.com or any other company. We are a fully accredited Registrar of domain names. ICANN, the governing body of domain names, has approved us as a registrar. Our registration services compete directly with those of Network Solutions/Verisign and Register.com.

Our prices for these services are simply better. There are no hidden fees and no gimmicks. We do not make you use our hosting services with your domain name. We are able to offer these prices by accepting lower profit margins than others might be inclined to, and by striving to keep our operations efficient.

We choose our promotions carefully and ensure every advertising dollar pays for itself. We streamline our systems and billing processes. We don't have any frills (like the $5,000.00 office chairs of some of the now bankrupt dot-coms). We also don't waste money on unnecessary things like toll-free telephone numbers that are often abused anyway.

Second, we're straight shooters. There are no tricks in what we do, just good, old-fashioned, reliable business principles. Quite often we're asked if we bait our customers with low rates and then charge high renewal prices. Anybody that expects us to do that will be disappointed. We believe in the old saying, "You can shear a sheep many times but you can only skin it once." So, your renewal rates will be no higher than the rate you paid when you initially registered your domain name, or what our registration rates were when you transferred your domain name to us (the only exceptions would be if the price the registry charges us increased, or if you took advantage of a limited-time, special price. And if the registry increases our cost, yours will go up only by the amount ours did, never more).

What's the end result of all this? Well, we're happy to tell you that we're a profitable company that expects to be in business for many years to come. All this, of course, is due to value-conscious customers like you.

You will be listed as a domain registrant.

Any public domain registration that you register through us will have your name as the registrant, just as if you had registered it through any other ICANN certified Registrar. You will be able to change all four contact fields for the domain whenever you want. You can change the name servers for your domain or use the domain to register your own name servers.

We do not charge for any of these services. You are free to work with your domain however and whenever you want to.

Registering and using multiple domains names.

If you're thinking about registering more than one domain name, you've got the right idea. Registering and using multiple domains names is great for building your business and can help you create a dynamic online identity.

When you register multiple domain names, you can:

• Keep your competition from registering a domain name that draws customers to them instead of you.
• Promote the different products and services you offer.

• Drive more traffic to your Web site.
• Enjoy more opportunities to market to (and be listed in) search engines.
• Create distinct advertising strategies that reach different target markets.
• Provide customers more ways to find you when searching the Internet.
• Capture common misspellings of your domain name, instead of sending visitors to an error page.
• Protect your brand and online identity from those who may have unsavory purposes.
