Domain Names
To go live with a website, you must have a domain name (your own .com, .net, etc. name) and a server to host your website. Check to see if the internet address (URL) - domain name - that you want is available.

Overview:
Domain name registration is the act of reserving the rights to an Internet address for a predetermined amount of time. Domains are generally registered for 1 to 10 years. A domain transfer moves the registration of your domain name from one registrar to another.
How It Works:
The process of registering a domain name begins with a search for available names. After a domain has been registered or transferred, an easy-to-understand program allows you to perform all domain maintenance-related activities.
Private Domain Name Registrations
You would do well to consider a private registration of your domain name.
Overview:
Private registration allows you as a registrant to keep your personal information out of the Whois database, thus from prying eyes. Private domain registrations are managed through Domains By Proxy™, which is also the entity whose contact information will appear in the Whois database for your privately registered domain. You retain all rights to the domain registration; Domains By Proxy simply serves as the intermediary (or “proxy”) between you and any outside correspondence that may arise from someone looking up your domain name in the Whois database.
Your Benefits:
- Registrant's identity not available to the public.
- Registrant's personal information cannot be captured and exploited.
- Shields registrant from Whois database mining (i.e., the process of scouring and
collecting data for personal or commercial purposes). - Patent-pending e-mail forwarding system filters domain-related spam.
How It Works:
During your domain name registration process, you may choose to make your registration private. The Domains By Proxy Web site allows private-registration customers to modify account settings, track domain-related correspondence, etc.
