| Domain Names Registration - A domain name is basically an indication on the Internet. Every website you've ever been to, and every email you've ever composed, has used a domain name in its address. People register domain names in order to 'stake a claim' to a particular name -- whether for business or personal reasons. Once a domain name is registered to a person or company, it is that person's to use exclusively as long as they continue to pay the yearly renewal fee and abide by the terms of use. It is not recommended to make your web site's name open till the time after a domain name has been registered in your name. There have been many cases where unethical individuals have registered domain names hoping to "sell" the domain to the companies that should have rightfully registered those names. These are not legitimate registration services, and should be avoided. When the domain name is first registered, your organization should be the owner of the domain name. Changing the owner of a domain name involves a "transfer" form that must be notarized by both parties, and some additional fees. Domain Names Registration |
