Register Domain Name
Registering the domain name with domain name registrars of
class and repute is effectively and efficiently carried out by Excellone
Web Solutions Development Company, India, as it has grasped the quintessence
of the importance of proper domain name registration.
The domain name market has become open to competition and
several dozen companies have become authorized domain name registrars.
Domain name registrars are permitted to access and modify the master domain
name database that contains the records of all the domain names registered
till date and register domain names.
The domain name industry is regulated and overseen by ICANN,
which is the organization responsible for certifying companies as domain
name registrars. A list of all the companies that are currently operating
as domain registrars is available here, and the list of all accredited
companies (including those that have not yet set up their operations)
is available here. If one has decided on the domain name(s) to be registered,
the next step is to choose a Registrar and to register the domain name
with the domain name registrars.
It will be helpful to know the meaning of the following terms.
- The registrant is the company or individual to whom the domain name
actually belongs.
- The registrar registers the domain name.
- The administrative contact is the person authorized to make certain
changes to the domain name such as alteration of the address associated
with that domain name.
- The technical contact is the person authorized to make certain changes
to the domain name, such as altering the DNS servers associated with
that domain name.
- The billing contact is the person to whom all bills and other correspondence
will be sent.
- DNS Server Settings is where you specify the primary and secondary
DNS server settings you would like to have associated with the domain
name.
Some Registrars may streamline the registration process,
or may not encourage certain information. If a Registrar does not ask
for the registrant information, their terms and conditions must be read
cautiously and carefully. It must be mentioned here that there are unscrupulous
registrars who take their client's money, set their clients up as the
Administrative, Technical and Billing contacts and put themselves as the
Registrant (which means that the registrar ends up "owning" all the domain
names belonging to its customers). To register the domain name, one will
also be asked for payment information but payment procedures vary widely
from Registrar to Registrar. A user name and password may also be required
to log into the Registrar's control panel and make changes to the domain
name information.
Some Registrars may let one register multiple domain names
in bulk, others will require you to go through the whole lengthy registration
process for every time you want to register a domain name. Either way,
it is important that one understands the importance of proper domain name
registration.
Importance of Proper Registration of Domain Name
To register a domain name one has to furnish details like
name, address, etc,. While it may seem very tempting to use a false name
and address in domain name registration (to maintain privacy and to stay
out of the reach of direct marketers) there are several drawbacks to this
approach. To begin with, it is unethical as it is against the registration
rules of most Registrars. The importance of proper domain name registration
has been proved time and again in the many cases in which domain owners
have been forced to provide accurate contact information at short notice
at the risk of losing their domains.
There is the risk of not finding out about important changes
that could affect one's domain name. e.g. if a real "snail mail" address
is not provided, the registrar may not be able to send a reminder about
the renewal of the domain name registration. One cannot be contacted for
legal challenges. While this may sound like a positive benefit, one actually
runs the risk of losing the domain name by default by not responding to
a complaint against the domain.
However, it is possible to maintain privacy by registering
the domain name with a first class domain name registrar in the name of
the domain name owner, giving proper and correct particulars.
Consider opening a mailbox with a company that offers services
so that one can supply an address that is not traceable to the owner.
This will ensure that one receives all the important correspondence relating
to one's domain name registration while the address need not be revealed
to the registrar. Soon after domain name registration, it is good to remember
to know the URL of the Registrar; lest an emailed or mailed confirmation
go astray and there is no record of either the domain name or the registrar.
This information is very important in domain name registration, to make
changes later.
In summary, choose the appropriate Domain Name, check its
availability and then choose a reputed Registrar. This will save a lot
of trouble in the future, when the services of the Registrar might be
required for renewal, transfer, etc. of domain names. It is not wise to
compromise on the reputation and standing of the registrar just to save
a few dollars. Choosing a quality registrar will give the advantages of
the full range of services and other spin-off benefits. One can also avail
the help of a reputed domain name registration firm like Excellone Web
Solutions Development Company, India to guide through registration of
domain name. A proper domain name registration done with a reputed registrar
would ensure that your website survives for a long time and does not
get embroiled in needless controversies and legal tangles.
