What
is a domain name?
A domain name is the essence of your company's online
identity. It is the address your customers use to find
information about your products and services on the
web. Domain names allow Internet users to type in a
name, such as yourdomain.com, to identify a numeric
Internet Protocol (IP) address such as 207.15.12.173.
The purpose of domain names is to allow users
connected to the Internet the ability to find web
sites without having to memorize the long, numerical
(IP) addresses that actually locate the computers or
servers on the Internet.

What
does it mean to "register" a domain name?
There is a central registry of all domain names on the
Internet. For your domain name to become a part of the
registry, your domain name needs to be added to that
registry. "Registering" a domain name means
you are associated with that domain name for the
period of the registration. Only ICANN-approved
Registrars (such as efreedomainregistration.com) have
access to the database.

Who
should register a domain name?
Anyone thinking about establishing a presence on the
Internet should register a domain name. You don't have
to utilize it right away, but you can reserve it for
your future use. Domains are being registered at the
rate of more than 300,000 per month - they go quickly!

How
long does the registration process take?
efreedomainregistration.com’s application process
should only take a few minutes to complete. As an
ICANN-approved registrar, all registrations take place
in real time- once your application has been processed
and approved, your name is registered.

Is
it possible for someone to register my domain name
after I have registered it?
The availability of .com, .net and .org domain names
is verified through a central registry system. This
system prevents a domain name that is successfully
registered from being registered by another person or
entity. The efreedomainregistration.com registration
and processing system updates the central registry in
real time.

I've
got my domain name, now what?
There are many things you can do with your new domain.
Some people want to build a website for their
corporate or personal use. If that is the case, you
must contact a web design/ hosting company. Once they
have a website ready for you, we can "point"
your new domain to that website. For more details,
contact
us
Some want custom email, (you@your-new-domain.com, for
example). Contact your hosting company to get your
server information, and they can "alias"
your domain name to your email. For more details, contact
us
Some just want to resell their domain name. In
that case, you may certainly sell your new domain to
whomever you like. Simply contact us to transfer the
domain name to your buyer. For more details, contact
us

I
own a new domain, but when I type it into my browser,
nothing comes up.
Again, a domain name is not a website, just a web
address for a website. If you want your new domain to
be a web address for a website for your corporate or
personal use, you must contact a web design/ hosting
company. Once they have a website ready for you, we
can "point" your new domain to that website.
If you already have a website, and registered a new
domain for it, be aware that some hosting companies do
not accept a domain pointing to their host site (members.abigisp.com/your-abigisp-site~template1765,
for example) Also, it may take a few days for the
routing to point to your new host on an acceptable
server. For more details, contact
us
