Domain Name Frequently Asked Questions
Registration:
Can anyone register a domain?
Yes, it does not matter what country you live in or even if you have
a web site.
How much does it cost?
The cost of registering a domain name is only $8.95 per year. You
can select a registration period ranging from 1 to 10 years. There are
no other fees, no NIC fees, no setup fees, no domain parking fees.
I thought I could only register domains through NSI?
After recent changes the domain name registration system is now open
to other companies besides NSI.
What is the difference between a domain registered through your
service and one registered through Network Solutions?
There is absolutely no difference, other than our excellent service
and much enhanced tools to assist you.
Do I own the domain I register?
Absolutely. It is yours to sell, keep, do whatever you like.
What is bulk registration?
Bulk registration enables you to register multiple domain names at
once, saving you time on the process. When you type all the domain names
you want in the bulk look-up, it will tell you which domain names are
not available and will let you continue with the available names. If you
type the domain names without the extensions it will find all available
.com, .net or .org. If you type with the extensions it will only search
names with that particular extension.
Can I transfer domain to you from other registrars?
You able able to renew your domain at our rates by transferring them
to us.
Managing your domain name:
How do I edit my domain information?
All you need to do is login at
http://timberlandhosting.com/register.htm and log in with your
username and password.
Can I change my domain name and registration period?
No. Once your registration is completed your domain name and
registration period is sent to the root servers. After that point the
domain name itself and the registration period cannot be changed.
Does it cost anything to make changes to my domain?
No, we charge nothing! It is all in your control, and you have an
excellent tool, Manage Account, to maintain, edit, and update your
domain information. We will continue to enhance the features of this
program.
How long does it take for my information to be updated?
After the first registration, as soon as you receive the confirmation
via email your data will be in our database. Then if you need you can
login to the Domain Manager to update your data. Once you modify your
domain information it is instantly updated on our server. It may take up
to 24 hours for root servers of InterNIC to reflect the updates.
I received a confirmation that my domain registration had been
processed but when I do a whois, it says that my domain is available?
If you use our WHOIS utility you will not encounter this problem
because our database is updated immediately. Network Solutions database
is usually updated once a day, but sometimes it takes two or three days.
In other WHOIS searches, until their database is updated, your domain
will show as not being registered. However it is registered, and can not
be reserved by another person. To make sure your domain is registered,
use our WHOIS utility.
I have forgotten my password (and/or username), how can I get it?
Email
[email protected] with your request including your
domain name or order ID. Your Username and Password will be sent to the
Admin Contact e-mail.
Can I sell or transfer ownership of my domain?
Yes, domain name is yours to either sell or keep. You can login to
Domain Manager and change all contact information to the new owner. Then
provide the new owner with the username and password, and tell him to
change the password. Please be advised, you cannot do that if you are
keeping multiple domains under one profile. If you are going to sell a
domain, it would be easier for you to register that domain under its own
profile. Otherwise, the domain will need to be separated from the
profile before transferring. It is also advised that in selling domain
names you protect yourself with written documentation to avoid possible
legal disputes
