The results will show whether or not the domain is available to be registered. If the domain is available, click on the "Continue" button.
I tried to register a name but it was not available. Why?
It is likely that name has already been registered by someone else. You will need to find another name that is not already taken.
How long will it take for my domain name to be setup?
It usually takes 24 -48 hours after you register or modify the DNS settings for an existing name for it to be available for use.
Can I have more than one domain name point to my website?
Yes, your website can be setup to respond to more than one domain name. Once you have one in place you can add more by selecting the "Domain manager" on your Admin page. If you already have purchased the additional domain(s) then choose "existing domain" option, otherwise go through the registration process. Additional information to finish the setup will be provided during this process.

No. Unfortunately, domain name registrations are final and cannot be changed. You will need to register a new name with the correct spelling. Domain registration fees are nonrefundable.
If I buy a domain name, will I be listed as its owner?
Yes. You will be the owner of the name and would be listed as its owner. PLEASE NOTE: Since you are the owner of your domain name, it is your responsibility to verify that the registration of your domain name is complete. And, when the domain name registration comes up for renewal, the Domain Name Registration Company ordinarily will email the contact for your domain to remind you it will soon expire. We also provide you with a reminder on your Admin page. If you do not keep your domain name's registration current, then the domain registration will expire and the domain would then become available for others to register. It is your responsibility to be certain that you keep your domain name registered.
Do you offer Domain Privacy Option?
Yes, you can purchase and enable the domain privacy option.You can do this directly from your Admin page by clicking on the "domain manager".
