What is a domain name?
A domain name is the essence of your company's online
identity. It is the address your customers use to find information about your products and
services on the web. Domain names allow Internet users to type in a name, such as
www.yoursite.com,
to identify a numeric Internet Protocol (IP) address such as 207.15.12.173. The purpose of
domain names is to allow users connected to the Internet the ability to find web sites
without having to memorize the long, numerical (IP) addresses that actually locate the
computers or servers on the Internet.

Volume discounts are cumulative by
month, and are applicable to all subsequent registrations. For example, if you
register 30 domains in January, your cost for each domain is $24.95. If you then
register 100 domains in February, your cost for the first 50 is $24.95, and your
cost for the next 50 is just $21.95 each. If you then register 30 domains in
March, your cost for each (because you achieved the first price break level in
the previous month) is $21.95. If you then register 300 domains in April, your
cost for the first 250 is $21.95. Your cost for the next 50 is $17.95. If you
then register 30 domains in May, your cost for each (because you achieved the
second price break level in the previous month) is just $17.95. The
IsleComm system will automatically track your registration
volume, and discount your prices accordingly.

What does it
mean to "register" a domain name?
There is a central registry of all domain names on the
Internet. For your domain name to become a part of the registry, your domain name needs to
be added to that registry. "Registering" a domain name means you are associated
with that domain name for the period of the registration. Only ICANN-approved
Registrars have access to the database.
"Registering" a name means you own it, and no one else can register
that exact same name!

Who should register a domain name?
Anyone thinking about establishing a presence on the
Internet should register a domain name. You don't have to utilize it right away,
but you can reserve it for your future use. Domains are being registered at the
rate of more than 900,000 per month- they go quickly!
[ back to top ]
How long does
the registration process take?
IsleComm’s application process should take
less than two minutes to complete. As an ICANN-approved registrar, all registrations take
place in real time- once your application has been processed and approved, your
name is registered.

Is it possible
for someone to register my domain name after I have registered it?
No. The availability of .com, .net and .org domain names is
verified through a central registry system. This system prevents a domain name that is
successfully registered from being registered by another person or entity. The IsleComm
registration and processing system updates the central registry in real
time.

What methods of
payment does IsleComm accept?
IsleComm
accepts all major credit cards: Visa, MasterCard,
American Express or Discover. If you don't have a credit card, you can
prepay for your domains via cashiers check or money order.

If a domain name
is already registered, can I find out who owns the name?
Yes. If you check the availability of a domain name and it
is already registered, click on the whois link. This

I've got my
domain name, now what?
There are many uses for your new domain name. Some people want to have a
personal or business website; others want to establish an email address; and
still others want to hold onto their domain for future use or sale.
If you would like to have a website, simply sign up on our hosting page,
or use a similar service or Internet Service Provider (ISP). You can build your own website using the supplied SiteMonster or your own tools, or we will build you a professional website and supply
you with our Domain Name Server Information (DNS info). Then, visit
the "manage your domain form" and enter the DNS information in the appropriate fields. Within 24-48 hours after you enter the DNS info., your new
website will be accessible to anyone in the world. It's that simple! If you choose, we can do the whole process for you.
If you would like to establish an email account, your hosting provider or ISP will give you their DNS info. Simply go to
"manage your domain form" and enter the DNS info in the appropriate fields.
Your hosting provider or ISP can then route email sent to your new domain to either a new or
existing mail box on their servers.
If you would like to resell your domain name, you may transfer the domain to
a new buyer by using the "Ownership Change" form in the "Manage" section of the website.

I own a new domain,
but when I type it into my browser, nothing comes up.
A domain name is not a website. It's simply an address someone uses to find
a website. If you would like to have a website, IsleComm offers professional website design, or you can contact a web design company or design it yourself. After your site is built, you can enter the
Domain Name Server Info (DNS Info) by clicking on the IsleComm "Manage" link. Within 24-48 hours after you enter the DNS info, your new
Website will be accessible to anyone in the world to see, including you!
