What is a domain name?
A domain name is what comes after the @ in a e-mail address or what comes after www. in a web address. A domain is typically the name of your company or organization. For example, our domain name is ColdFusionWebsiteHosting.com

Why should you have a domain name?
There are several reasons - we will highlight a few:

• Registering a domain name ensures that your e-mail and web address will NEVER have to change again - even if you switch Internet or web hosting providers.
• It provides greater name recognition for your company or organization. You will always be:  www.your-domain
• It's the single most cost-effective way to protect or secure your trade name or service name in today's global economy.
• A new domain is being registered every four (4) seconds! The longer you wait to reserve your domain, the more likely it is that it will not be available tomorrow. Inevitably...someone will take your name.

How much does it cost to register a new domain name?

• New domain registrations and renewals range from $9.99 to $35 per year. You can reserve or renew a domain name for up to 10 years. There are several dozen domain ICANN-approved "registrars" like Network Solutions, Register.Com, Tucows, DomainSite and GoDaddy. The "registrar" fees are not associated with our service to its clients.
• NEW Domain Name Registrations require credit card payment (Visa. MasterCard, American Express or Discover) at the time of activation. You will need to provide your name; card type, card #, exp. date, and zip code where the card is billed to.
• We do not charge a fee to transfer an existing domain.
• We charge an average of $15/year per domain and offer discounts for long-term or multi-year registrations - see our domain name pricing chart

Are there any hidden monthly fees?
NO. Believe it or not, some ISP's, Telco's and web hosts still attempt to assess additional monthly or annual fees to let you use your domain name in your web site or e-mail address. This is silly and defeats the purpose of having a domain name in the first place. Don't be nickel-and-dimed by anyone.

ALL of our hosting packages include the use of your domain name in your web and e-mail address. In fact, most of our web hosting plans allow you to add additional domain name "aliases" or "pointers" to your primary website at a minimal cost of $2/ea!  See our options & upgrades section for details.

What are the charges if I have more than one domain name?
You can register as many domain names as your budget allows. And depending on your hosting package, we will point at least ONE domain name at your primary virtual web site or IP address at no additional fee. Additional domains beyond your package allotment will be billed $2 each per month. Please refer to your hosting package for the specific # of virtual domain "aliases" you can point at your primary site. See our options & upgrades section for details.

We can help you register additional domain names as described above. Please contact us @ 303.256.4657 with any questions.
