What is a domain name?
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 kahunaskreations.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.
What are the fees to register a domain name? The Kahuna's Kreations pricing structure starts at a flat $24.95 per year. The price includes all fees associated with registering your domain name including internic fees and parking fees. Our price for two (2) years is $44.95 per domain name, saving you more money!
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 (such as Kahuna's Kreations) 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!
How long does the registration process take? Kahuna's Kreation'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 Kahuna's Kreations registration and processing system updates the central registry in real time.
What methods of payment does Kahuna's Kreations accept for name registration? Kahuna's Kreations accepts all major credit cards for domain name registration: 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. Contact us via the e-amil link at the top fo this page for more info if you wish to use the cashiers check or money order feature.
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 will display the contact information associated with a registered domain name. You may also use the "whois" button in the right column of this page.
Who do I contact for additional assistance? If you have any questions or comments you can email us at the top of this page or call 1-561-634-0485. Since we incorporate your ideas and suggestions, your comments are always welcome.
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 contact your Web hosting company or Internet Service Provider (ISP). They will build your Website and supply you with their Domain Name Server Information (DNS info). Then, use the "Manage Your Domain" link on this page and enter the DNS information in the "Manage" section. 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 would like to establish an email account, your Internet Service Provider (ISP) will give you their DNS info. Simply use the "Manage Your Domain" link on this page and enter the DNS info in the "Manage" section of the web site. Your 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.
Will my name and contact information be publicly available ? Yes. Information about who is responsible for domain names is publicly available to allow rapid resolution of technical problems and to permit enforcement of consumer protection, trademark, and other laws. The registrar will make this information available to the public on a "Whois" site. If you prefer to use our "Secure Whois" feature, you may do so and keep your information private. There is a small yearly fee for this. Please see the Secure Whois FAQ in the column to the right for more info on this secure service.
How long does a domain name registration last? Can it be renewed ? You can register and renew a domain name in one-year increments, with a total registration period limit of ten years.
Someone else has registered by company's name as a .com domain name. What is the process for resolving my complaint ? All ICANN-accredited registrars follow a uniform dispute resolution policy. Under that policy, disputes over entitlement to a domain-name registration are ordinarily resolved by court litigation between the parties claiming rights to the registration. Once the court rules who is entitled to the registration, the registrar will implement that ruling. In disputes arising from registrations allegedly made abusively (such as "cybersquatting" and cyberpiracy"), the uniform policy provides an expedited administrative procedure to allow the dispute to be resolved without the cost and delays often encountered in court litigation. In these cases, you can invoke the administrative procedure by filing a complaint with one of the dispute-resolution service providers listed at http://www.icann.org/udrp/approved-providers.htm. For more details on the uniform dispute resolution policy, see http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp.htm.
