- What does it mean to "register" a domain
name?
The Internet Domain Name System consists of a directory
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
(your DNS information) during the period the registration is in effect.

- What is CVV2?
CVV2 is a
security measure we require for all transactions. Since a CVV2 number is listed
on your credit card, but is not stored anywhere, the only way to know the
correct CVV2 number for your credit card is to physically have possession of the
card itself. All VISA, MasterCard and American Express cards made in America in
the past 5 years or so have a CVV2 number, while those in Europe and Asia will
be joining the CVV2 program shortly.
- Once I have registered a Domain Name how
do I get my site onto the Internet?
When registering a domain name you do not receive
any web space on our servers. You will need to contact a web hosting company
which will store your web pages on their servers. Once you obtain hosting
services you can change your DNS in the Domain
Manager. You can sign up for web hosting here, and you'll be able
to use your new domain name. Just allow 48-72 hours for your new domain name to
propagate throughout the Internet first!

and we will send it to you.
