» Domain Registration

Your first step on the web starts here

Please use the form HERE to check the availability of a domain name.

Please provide a value for a domain name and select one of the extensions (i.e., ".com", ".net", ".org", ".biz", ".info", etc.).

A query will be performed on the appropriate WHOIS database to see if it is available or to identify the current owner of the domain.

WHOIS Privacy Protection

When you register a domain, you are required to provide accurate contact information including your address , telephone number and email address. Normally, this information is available to anyone who looks up the WHOIS data for your domain. WHOIS Privacy Protection prevents this information from being displayed to the public so that it is not accessible by spammers or other undesirable parties. Our current price for WHOIS Privacy Protection is $11.00 per year. Please submit an order via Hosting Addons from your client area after login. Please note: WHOIS Privacy Protection is not available for all TLDs and pricing may vary per TLD.

The Rules:

Don't put "www." in front of the domain name. "www." is a host name, not part of a domain name. You should not use "www" anywhere unless it is included within the actual domain name you are looking for.

Legal characters for domain names are 0 - 9, a - z and "-".

Illegal characters for domain names are underscores, (_), and spaces.

Legal domain name lengths are between 2 characters and 57 characters.

Domain names cannot begin or end in a hyphen or contain double hyphens. A domain name can contain hyphens, however the hyphens cannot be together (ie "--") and they also cannot begin the domain name or end it, ie "-domain.xxx" is illegal as it begins with a hyphen. On the same token "domain-.xxx" is illegal as it ends with a hyphen.

Domain names must only contain alphanumerical characters and hyphens. Domain names must only consist of numbers, letters and hyphens - this means that no spaces, periods, commas or any other kind of punctuation is allowed. A common mistake is when people begin the domain name with "www." - this is not part of the domain name and should not be used...ever.
