 A domain name is the basis of
identity for businesses or groups on the Internet. It is used to refer to a
business or group when sending email or surfing the web. In most instances
the domain name is the last two elements in a web or email address. For
example, 'www.greenapple.com' has the domain name 'greenapple.com'. Other
examples of domain names are 'ibm.com', 'yahoo.com' and 'microsoft.com'.
Domain name registration is needed for website hosting. |
Every domain name on the Internet is unique. To
ensure this uniqueness, as well as to establish domain ownership and provide
necessary technical information so that the domain may be recognized
world-wide, all domains must be registered with an accredited domain
registrar. Registration is in force for a period of one to ten years, at the
end of which, the domain must be re-registered (more generally referred to as
'maintained'). Registration and maintenance fees are charged by domain
registrars and vary according to the registrar and the length of time.
Green Apple recommends and uses Network
Solutions, Inc., NSI, for registering and maintaining domain names. NSI was
the original domain name registrar and their domain name process is well known
among Internet administrators. NSI's fee structure for domain registration /
maintenance is
