What is a domain name?

A Domain Name is a group of letters, numbers, and hyphens in the form "yourownname.com" or "yourownname.net" where "yourownname" can be almost anything. Ours is 2serveU.net

A Domain Name should be relatively easy to remember. The domain can be used as the address for your web site and/or can be used as your e-mail address.

How do domain names work?

A domain name is very similar to an address forwarding service. The domain name is the address people type in their browser to get to your Web site. The domain name points to the "real" address of the server that contains your Web site content. The "real" address is called the IP address and is a series of numbers, such as 123.23.234.45. This IP address then points to the location on the server where your Web site files are located. Domain names are used instead of IP addresses because most people find it much easier to remember a name rather than a series of numbers. So, your domain name points to your IP address, which is the location of your Web site files on a server, and allows users all across the Internet to view your Web pages.

Why do I need a domain name?

A domain name creates your unique internet identity and can then be used as your address on the World Wide Web. No two domain names are alike. For businesses and organizations, a domain name can help brand your products and services. For individuals and clubs, a domain can identify your affiliations, relationships, or can just be your online personality.

Once you have registered a domain name, you can get a Web Hosting Account and create a website that is easy to find . . . using your domain name as the address! Web Hosting also allows you to send and receive email for your domain name, using any addresses you choose . . . "anything@yourdomain.com". Web Hosting allows you to create a very professional image on the internet that is also very easy to find and remember! This is all possible, once you have a domain name. Register your name today!

What characters can you use in a domain name and how long can it be?

The valid characters for domain names are the alphabet, numbers, and hyphens. Domain names are not case sensitive, therefore YourOwnName.net and yourownname.net are NOT different. A domain name cannot start or end with a hyphen. Special characters such as exclamation marks (!), question marks (?), periods (.),and underscores (_) are not allowed and there can be no spaces in a domain name.

Note: .com, .net and .org domain names exceeding a total of 26 characters are supported by most web browsers. However, certain web browsers, email programs and other Internet related applications may not support domain names over 26 characters, which includes the extension. Therefore, if you are using the .com/.net/.org extensions, your desired name should only be 22 characters long. Search for an available Domain name Now!

What is DNS information?

DNS stands for Domain Name System and is the system that the Internet uses to find which web server a domain name is stored at. Each domain name is associated with two DNS servers, a primary server and a backup server. There is also a 12 digit number called an IP address that is assigned to each of those servers to eliminate any possible error. Domain names are registered with a central organization in each country - in the United States the registry is called InterNIC.

Note: when you register a domain name at 2serveU.net, your DNS nameservers are automatically set to point your domain to our web servers. This makes it more convenient for clients to set up their Web Hosting with us. The DNS nameservers can be changed to point to other servers too.

2serveU.net's Nameservers are:

Primary DNS Server
Primary Server Hostname......:: NS1.2SERVEU.NET
Primary Server Netaddress....:: 66.197.165.37

Secondary DNS Server
Secondary Server Hostname....:: NS2.2SERVEU.NET
Secondary Server Netaddress..:: 66.197.165.38

What is InterNIC and what is Network Solutions Inc.?

InterNIC stands for Internet Network Information Center and is the organization in the United States that manages Internet domain names and the DNS. Network Solutions Inc. is the company that has been contracted by the US Government to administrate InterNIC.

For more information on the future of the InterNIC you may want to read the NTIA's white paper on the "Improvement of Technical Management of Internet Names and Addresses".

What is an IP address?

The Internet Protocol address or IP Address is a numerical identifier for a computer (server) attached to the Internet. An IP Address is four sets of numbers separated with periods, and is typically a 12 digit number.

Do I need to have a server to register a domain name?

Yes. As part of the application process InterNIC requires two domain name servers to link to your domain name. When you register a domain with 2serveU.net, your domain will automatically be assigned to our name servers, which can be changed by you at any time. We file an application on your behalf, and submit the proper server information so your registration can take place. We handle the registration for you, Free of charge!

What are Top Level Domains (TLD) And what do they mean?

The Top Level Domains (sometimes called Generic Top Level Domains) are the last two or three letters in a domain name. Web sites outside of the United States may have two letter country codes (for example: .jp for Japan or .au for Australia).

Top level domain signifiers

• .com
• .org
• .net
• .edu - (educational institutions only)
• .gov - (government institutions only)
• .mil - (military use only)
• 2 letters - Denotes a country/region of the world

It used to be only the .com, .org and Net TLDs were available to the public , but now...

.US, .BIZ, .TV, .INFO, .CC - and MORE...

How can I find out if a domain name is already registered?

Using our Domain Search you can look up any domain name instantly and find out which extensions for that domain are available. If your first choice was a .com and it is available, it will have a next to the name. You should register it while it is available! Other variations of that name that are availble will have a blank checkbox - just put a check in the ones you want to register. Give it a try . . .

Note: 40,000 Domain Names get registered each day! You can see if Your desired Domain Name is Still Available:

www.    .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, .cc, .ws, .tv, more

Get Your Web Address .com, .net, .org, .biz etc.

Do I have to pay for domain name registration?

Yes, but at 2serveU.net you don't have to pay Full Price! In the past Network Solutions charged a $70 InterNIC fee to keep track of your domain name information. This fee covered the first two years of domain name ownership. After that, you would be charged $35 a year.

Now 2serveU.net provides domain name registration for Only $14.95 /year, and you do not have to pay InterNIC's $70 any more. All you have to pay is our Discount Registry fee which is $20 per year lower than Network Solutions, Register.com, etc.  You will have full management control over your domain name at any time by accessing your account.

How do I pay the InterNIC fee?

You do not have to pay for InterNIC if you have us register your domain name. We will charge you the domain name registry fee instead. Our price starts at only $14.95 a year! Since we get a volume discount, we can save you $20/yr. or more with 2y.r / 5yr. / 10yr. registrations. Register your name today!

How do I get an international domain?

2serveU.net can host international domain names with two letter country extension codes, but we do not offer to register international domain names for you. Here is the process:

The domain owner is responsible for registering their domain with the country's registry. Each country runs their registry differently, and therefore, we cannot expedite the registration process. Each country will also charge different amounts. The domain owner is reposible for making all payments to the registry.

You will most likely need information regarding DNS servers. If you desire to host an international domain name through 2serveU.net, we recommend that you first find the registry of the country and examine their application process.

Your prices are lower! Can I transfer my domain to 2serveU.net?

How can I point my domain name to a different web server?

Go to the website where you purchased your domain name (your Registrar) and access your account. From there you can update your domain nameservers (DNS) by typing in the DNS address to point them to any web server you like.

example: to point your domain to 2serveU.net's web servers you would type in:

NS1.2SERVEU.NET
NS2.2SERVEU.NET

If you bought your domain name at 2serveU.net, just access your account and change your DNS information to point to any web server by entering in their DNS settings. Please allow 24-72 hours for your new settings to take effect.

Why does my domain name still point to the site at my previous host?

When the DNS name server information is changed for a domain name, there will be a period of time when someone trying to access the domain name may be sent to your old site or another site altogether. This period can last as little as a few days, or as long as a few weeks. This initial confusing period is associated with the time it takes for new nameserver entries to propagate to the entire Internet, and may vary depending on the location the user is trying to access your web site. This phenomena is due to what is known as "DNS caching".

Every ISP (Internet Service Provider) and web hosting company operates a Domain Name Service. The DNS server translates the domain name into a numerical value that the computers on the Internet recognize. The DNS server saves, or caches, previous translations, so that later requests can be handled much more quickly (the name server reads the stored information and does not have to perform a translation/search each time the name is resolved). The cache of every DNS server is deleted periodically. The length of time between purges is different for everyone, though most hosts/ISP's clear DNS cache every seven to ten days (some more frequently, some less frequently).

For example, let's say your ISP clears their DNS cache every Saturday. If you transfer your domain name to 2serveU.net on Wednesday, any connection to your site through your ISP will be using the old DNS information for a few more days, so connections to your new site may fail during that time. On the other hand, people visiting your site for the first time will likely get right through. DNS caching is an unfortunate fact of life on the Internet and cannot be avoided. To insure maximum "up time" for your site, you may consider keeping the account at your previous host active for the first month you're at 2serveU.net. That way, no one trying to find you will be sent to a nonexistent site.
