When you register a domain name, it will be associated with the computer on the Internet you designate during the period the registration is in effect. See the Domain Name FAQ for more technical information about domain names. To register a domain name, you will be asked to provide the various contact and technical information that makes up the registration. This registry provides other computers on the Internet the information necessary to send you e-mail or to find your web site.
Different registrars offer different means of submitting the information.
We provide a web-based registration service with automatic credit card clearing. We also provide registration services by telephone and mail. Further, we will work with your ISP to obtain the required information, when necessary. Information about who is responsible for domain name is publicly available to allow rapid resolution of technical problems and to permit enforcement of consumer protection, trademark, and other laws. The initial registration period is one to ten years.
