1. Domains are a unique way to identify yourself on the Internet. There are two parts to a domain: the name and the extension. The name is the description of yourself or your site (for example, the name "dogfood" in dogfood.com). The extension represents the domain category. For example, the .com extension means "commercial," .net means "network," and so on. There are many extensions available today: .biz (business), .info (resource sites), .us (American sites), .ca (Canadian sites), to name a few. The "www" is automatically inserted by the web server that hosts your site and is not part of the domain name.
2. Transferring a domain can mean two things:
switching the domain name to another registrar, or altering
the domain record to make the domain point to a new host.
We are concerned with the second definition. A domain
has to be told which web host to direct visitors to, and
this is done by changing the domain's name server records.
For
example, if you purchased a hosting account from us, you
have to put our name servers in your domain record.
They look like these:
Name
Servers:
ns1. DNS19.DNSLISTS.NET
ns1. 63.247.69.243
ns2. DNS20.DNSLISTS.NET
ns2. 63.247.69.244
We offer transferring and
registering your domain names for you for $25.00/year,

You will then visit your domain registrar's home page, sign
in, and edit your domain record. Each registrar is
different, but there will be fields in your domain record
called "name severs," "primary/secondary name
servers," etc. The registrar may or may not ask
for the IP address of the name servers ( DNS19.DNSLISTS.NET
and DNS20.DNSLISTS.NET in this example). It takes 24-72 hours for the change
to take effect

Once you have made changes to your domain name, you will need us to host it. The domain name is just an address; that is, it points to files on a web server. Hosting companies provide web servers and this is where your web site is stored.
Choose a plan from us and register.
We will notify with all other information to get you
started!

are done!
