What is a domain name?
Domain names are the familiar, easy to remember names for computers on the Internet
(such as internic.net). They correspond to a series of numbers (called Internet
Protocol numbers) that serve as routing addresses on the World Wide Web. Domain
names are used generally as a convenient way of locating information and reaching
others on the Internet.
What does "register a domain name" mean?
The Internet domain name system (DNS) consists of a directory, organized hierarchically,
of all the domain names and their corresponding computers registered to particular
companies and persons using the Internet. When you register a domain name, it will
be associated with the computer on the Internet you designate during the period
the registration is in effect.
How long does it take to register or transfer a domain name?
It will take you just a few minutes to register a domain, but it might not be available
on the Internet for up to 48 hours. This is due to the fact that Internet DNS databases
are updated only once a day, causing the delay.
Does it make a difference what type of desktop computer I use?
No. This will only make a difference if you develop scripts that you want to use
without changes on your web site. FrontPage extensions can also be done on Unix
(or Linux) servers.
How do I pay for web hosting?
