Yes. NetNation registers domains through our accredited domain
name registrar, DomainPeople Inc. For country code domains,
we submit your application to the appropriate country registrar.
When you register or transfer a domain, and park it on our servers,
you receive a free parking page indicating the domain is reserved
and a web site is coming soon. Find our more about Domain Name
Registration.
Your Domain Name Servers (DNS) currently point to your registrar's
server. They need to point to NetNation's servers for your hosting
account to be set up. We will contact you by email with instructions
on how to transfer your DNS once you've ordered your hosting
package.
Registering a top level domain name takes just seconds and you
will receive instant verification. Registering a country domain
may take longer, depending on the turnaround time of the registrar
involved. Transferring a domain name to NetNation depends on
the registrar responsible for the domain name. The modification
will usually be propagated throughout the Internet within 48
hours.
Yes. You can forward multiple domains to your web address as
part of the Domain Name Registration.
There are extenuating circumstances in which your domain could
be taken from you. You are required to ensure that, to the best
of your knowledge and belief, neither the registration of the
domain name you seek to register nor the manner in which it
will be directly or indirectly used will infringe the legal
rights of a third party. All top level domain name registrants
are required to abide by the terms of the Uniform Domain Name
Dispute Resolution Policy ("UDRP"). The UDRP was adopted
by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN")
on October 24, 1999 and sets forth the terms and conditions
which govern disputes between you and any party other than NetNation
concerning your domain name registration.
Formed in October 1998, the Internet Corporation for Assigned
Names and Numbers (ICANN) is a non-profit, private sector corporation
recognized by the U.S. government as the entity to coordinate
the technical management of the Internet's domain name system,
the allocation of IP addresses, the assignment of protocol parameters,
and the management of the root server system. ICANN is located
at http://www.ICANN.org.
A registry creates and maintains the database of domain names
for a given top-level domain. It receives domain name system
(DNS) information from domain name registrars, inserts that
information into a centralized database and publishes the information
in zone files on the Internet so that domain names can be found
by users around the world via the Web and email.
The registry is responsible for managing the top level domain
system for specific domains. Here is a list of the main top
level domain registries.
.COM, .NET - verisign.com
.ORG - www.pir.org
.BIZ - neulevel.biz
.INFO - afilias.info
.NAME - www.gnr.com
.US - neustar.us
.CA - cira.ca
If your domain name registration is approaching its expiry date, an email notification will be sent to the administrative contact of the domain at least 30 and 7 days prior to expiration with instructions to renew the domain. This contact will also be emailed a post expiry notification if the domain has not been renewed within 5 days after the expiry.
