1. Will my name
.INFO domain work anywhere in the world?
Yes, a .INFO name works exactly the same as a .COM name, it just happens to have
a different ending. It is treated in precisely the same way as .COM by all the DNS
nameservers in the world.
2. Why do I want a domain name ending with .INFO?
There are already more than six and a
half million domains registered in the
.COM top level domain. Most of the good, short, easy to remember names
in .COM
are already taken by someone else. The .INFO top level domain
will be
introduced, October 1, so there is plenty of new, empty real estate, with excellent names
still available. In .INFO you can have a domain name that fits your business,
idea, information about your main domain, family or other name more closely. Protect
your bussiness name, and register the .INFO domain TLD. The .BIZ will be
available October 23!
- 3. How much does a .Info domain cost?
$70.00 US dollars for the first two years for the use of the domain, after
that $70.00 every two years.
- 4. How do I change my DNS settings?
The same way as with the .com,.net,.org domain names to to the domain
modification form located at our site at DNS
modification form . The first week DNS name servers will have to
be resolved in the .Info WHOIS, it will need time to apply all the
DNS name servers globally on the Internet.
- 5. Who assigned the .INFO TLD domain?
The IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) who is solely responsible for all the
TLD domain assignments.
6. How do I upload my web page on to my domain?
When registering a domain name, you do not receive any web space on our
servers.We "park " the domain untill you are ready to host
the domain. We can host your domain starting at $5.95 a month, 25mb
space, 25 pop email addresses, your own control panel. Visit our Hosting
Plans for more details.
7. How long until my .INFO domain works?
It takes up to 24 hours to have your domain working worldwide if your nameservers
have been setup properly. At the launch of the new .info domain
names name servers will have to be put in place worldwide (dns global
updates) this process could take 2 or 3 days, once the .info WHOIS
database is finished with this process it will take up to 48 hrs with
new .info registrations. NB: at launch date the .INFO WHOIS will need to
resolve the nameservers globally, this could give some delays in the
beginning.
8. Dot-INFO &
Domainnames
A domain name is simply an address on the World Wide
Web. Or, put another way, it's a unique alpha-numeric designation
that helps locate a particular computer on the global information
network.
Dot-info works just like dot-com. Both are called top
level domains, or TLDs in techspeak. Dot-com and dot-edu are
examples of generic domains. Other examples are dot-net and dot-org,
and dot-cc.
To allow room for growth, the designers of the Domain Name System
also created now new top level domain names which will be available
soon! .Info will launch "live" October 1, .biz is planned
to go "live" October 23. [Question Not Answered?]
