| My domain name registration has expired. How can I renew it? |
Once your domain has expired, it will be available for renewal during the registrar's grace period (currently 40-42 days, although this is not guaranteed). In this case you can renew the domain from the hosting Control Panel along with the hosting plan or without it. If you experience difficulties, contact the support personnel.
Once this period has ended there is a 30-day holding period implemented by the registry called the Redemption Period. In case you want to have the domain name renewed immediately, our domain registrar can submit a request to the registry during this period on behalf of the former registrant to get the domain back before it becomes publicly available. Only the previous registrant has the right to request the domain back.
The cost to retrieve a domain from the Redemption Period is $200 per domain, plus the cost of renewal. The $200 fee is required from the domain registrar Enom.com while the renewal price is assigned in the "Domain Registration" section on the Web Control Panel.
The alternative to this is to simply wait for the domain to go through the redemption period and once again become available for public registration. At this point you may be able to register the domain as a new name at the normal domain registration fee for your account.

As long as you pay for the domain names and use them according the TOS of the registrar there will be no problem for you to register as many domains as you need.

| If I register a domain name do I own it and for how long? |
If you register a domain name you become the domain name owner. Different TLDs can be registered for different periods of time. For example a .com domain can be registered anywhere between 1 to 10 years, while .co.uk domains can be registered for 2 years.

| Why do I need a domain name? |
All Domain Names are unique. Your domain name is your identity on the World Wide Web. For business or individual purposes Domain Names are a must-to if you wish to establish your presence in the Web.
|
| What is DNS and how does it work? |
The Domain Name System (DNS) enables each computer connected on the Internet to be identified by a domain name. Every computer on the Internet has a unique IP (Internet protocol) address which consists of a string of numbers. Since the IP addresses can be difficult to remember, the DNS allows a familiar string of letters (the 'domain name') to be used instead of the IP address. So instead of typing the string of numbers of the IP address, you can type, for example, 'www.domain.com.'
|
| How can I hide the WHOIS information of my domain from the public record ? |
You can do this by ordering the "ID Protect" service. To order it go to the Domain Manager and then click on the "Add" link under - ID Protect - . Please note that the time period for which this service is valid is one year and once you purchase it , it will take effect in 8 to 24 hours since the change in the WHOIS details will need up to 24 hours to propagate world-wide.
If the domain name is not registered with us you will not be able to use this service. In that case you will have to either transfer the domain to us and then order the service or contact your current domain name registrar and check if they offer it as well.

| What does a domain transfer mean ? |

| What is a Name Server ? |
A Name Server or NS points to the server which holds information for a given domain.
In order for a domain name to open a site and to receive e-mails it must have A record and MX record - the information for those records can be obtained from the Name Servers . The NS are essential and without them the Domain Name system will not function.
