It is owned by a bulk domain company - those who engages in buying and selling domain names. \n\nReferral URL: http://www.bulkregister.com\n\nThe thing with bulk domain registrars is that you have to be willing to shell out more money when buying a domain. Unlike Godaddy.com where you can buy domain names for $8.99, when you are buying it from a bulkregister.com, you'll have to make an offer. If you really want it, be prepared to pay no less than $500 (even thousands of dollars)

A parked website, also called Domain parking lets you cheaply reserve a domain name for future use and display an "under construction" default page on it.  You can register a domain and not park it anywhere but then your site will be simply inaccessible until you get a web host.  Some registrar let you park your domain for free.

DNS\n\nThe domain name system or domain name server (DNS) is a system that stores information associated with domain names in a distributed database on networks, such as the Internet. The domain name system (domain name server) associates many types of information with domain names, but most importantly, it translates the domain name (computer hostnames) to IP addresses. It also lists mail exchange servers accepting e-mail for each domain. In providing a worldwide keyword-based redirection service, DNS is an essential component of contemporary Internet use.\n\nDNS is useful for several reasons. Most well known, the DNS makes it possible to attach easy-to-remember domain names (such as "yahoo.com") to hard-to-remember IP addresses (such as 207.142.131.206). Humans take advantage of this when they recite URLs and e-mail addresses. Less recognized, the domain name system makes it possible for people to assign authoritative names, without needing to communicate with a central registrar each time.

you have to set up a domain for your computers, a domain is kinda like your own home network of computer, for information on how to setup a domain go to the Microsoft knowledge base or to the knowledge base of the company that made the router, then you can ass or remove as many computers to your domain as you want, and they will all be accessible to you via mynetworkplaces icon.

Ping can be used to see if another server is running or to measure the distance to another servers. It is short for Packet Internet Groper. A utility that forwards data packets to check the quality of a link or verify the connection of a machine to the Internet.\n\nThe domain name system (DNS) is the way that Internet domain names are located and translated into IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. A domain name is a meaningful and easy-to-remember "handle" for an Internet address. Because maintaining a central list of domain name/IP address correspondences would be impractical, the lists of domain names and IP addresses are distributed throughout the Internet in a hierarchy of authority.\n\nwhile\n\nA DSN stores the data source information necessary for the Driver Manager to connect to the database. This can be configured either through the ODBC Administrator or in a DSN file. On Windows, the information is called a system or user DSN and is stored in the Registry. Data source information can also be stored in text configuration files, as is the case on UNIX.

Of course. However, be advised that new domain names can be registered up to 10 years, and existing domain names can be renewed up to 9 years.\n\nCurrent technical rules dictate this. And no one's seeing any legit reason to change it.\n\nDave Zan\nhttp://www.DaveZan.com

Let me get this straight:\n\n1. You did a WHOIS on the domain name and saw it was taken last week.\n\n2. You called up Go Daddy and they told you it's available.\n\n3. You took it on the spot.\n\nLucky you. :)\n\nOne possibility: domain kiting/tasting. Read about it via the link I included.\n\nYour legal rights are dictated by your registrar's service agreement. Make sure you read and know what your rights are...before a judge reads it for you.

The domain names extensions are not given out for commercial use, but each country has been given its own name and some are willing to sell them. However, if the extension you're looking for doesn't belong to some small country, you're out of luck. Sorry.

http://www.yourname.com\n\nhttp:\nThis tells your browser and server to make a connection to the Webspace for displaying HTML\n\nwww - the world wide web subdomain.   \n\nyourname. \nThat is the basic name that you bought.  \n\ncom \nThis is the .com subdomain.  It was first intended to indicate a commercial business.  But everybody seems to buy that.   \n - .org  was intended for non-profit groups\n - .edu is education\n - .mil is military\n - .gov is government\n\n - .uk is United Kingdom\n\n Good luck with all this.

Many hosting companies will include a free domain name if you pay for their hosting service. In actuality, they just bundle the cost into your monthly fees. Someone must pay to register the domain name, and it is very unlikely that someone will do it for you out of the kindness of their heart.

this is called a domain extension.\n\nA top-level domain (TLD) is the last part of an Internet domain name; that is, the letters which follow the final dot of any domain name. For example, in the domain name yahoo.com, the top-level domain is com (or COM, as domain names are not case-sensitive).\n\nthere is also ccTLD\nCountry code top-level domain\nfor example google.com.eg\n--------\n\n\nhere is a list of tld extensions:\nUnsponsored \n.biz  .com  .edu  .gov  .info  .int  .mil  .name  .net  .org  .pro\nSponsored \n.aero  .cat  .coop  .jobs  .museum  .travel\nInfrastructure\n.arpa  .root\nStartup phase\n.mobi  .post  .tel\nProposed \n.asia  .geo  .kid  .mail  .sco  .web  .xxx\nDeleted/retired\n.nato\nReserved\n.example  .invalid  .localhost  .test\nPseudo-domains\n.bitnet  .csnet  .local  .onion  .uucp  Others

The international internet council, or whatever it's calling itself nowadays, must keep a master listing of all domain names, be they .com, .net, .whatever.  These are maintaned on special computers across the internet called nameservers and their name describes their function.\nTo find out if a name is being used, go to any domain name sales site (godaddy.com for instance) and search for a name.

I don't know about the billing stuff, but when you go to register a domain name, there are people watching the servers to see what domain names are being searched to see if the available. When one shows available, they hurry up and register that name theirselves and when you got to pay and claim the domain, lo and behold, it is taken. That way, you have to contact the owner of the domain you originally wanted and buy it off of them. They charge an arm and a leg. So by buying domain names for next to nothing and selling them for a lot more, it is their way of making money. Its all a big scam.

Domain names were, when they were first created, arbitrarily given to certain companies to hold them.  These companies are then allowed to rent them out to people.  So, when you want your own domain name, there's no such thing as "quality" of the dealer (so long as they're legit).  Just find the cheapest one and rent away.

i believe that web hosting registration is where you pay to have your website hosted (ie. put your HTML pages or other files) \n\nDomain Registration is where you register your TDL (top level domain) name like somename.com or mypage.net.\n\nif you want to run a website for free, there are some places that do hostin for free, and they will give you a free domain name, but its usually a subdomain name like yourusername.freewebhostname.com\n\nor something longer. the reason to go and pay for a domain name is for people to remember easier, and less to type. Remember people are so lazy, that they rather type less and get more. thats why there are more dynamic sites, because people want more and do less. \n\nhope that answers your question\n\n.Indigo.

If it is your business name, you may be able to dispute their registration, as it seems to be in bad faith. If it is your personal name, don't bother - the domain is worthless, just come up with something daft at random.\n\nBe careful how you proceed, as your actions can affect your chances at domain arbitration.
