Frequently Asked Questions
A domain name is a "unique" name used to identify and locate computers on the Internet. Internet domain names provide a system of easy-to-remember Internet addresses which are translated by DNS (Domain Name Servers) into numeric IP (Internet Protocol) addresses used by the Internet.
An Internet domain name is unique and allows you to have an "identity" on the Internet.
Domain names are typically allocated by the domain registrars on a "first come, first served" basis - currently in excess of 100,000 domain names are being registered per month!
You should register your domain name NOW as in the near future most of the memorable domain names will have been taken and only obscure domain names will remain.
A domain name adds value to your Internet presence and is therefore of great value to your organisation. Remember domain names are not just for businesses or organisations - many people register names for their own personal use.
Domains are registered as soon as you order them, however it can take between 24 and 72 hours for them to become visible on the Internet.
The domain name is always registered in your name or in your customer's name if you are working on someone's behalf.
Nominet issued certificates as confirmation of the contract that exists between Nominet and the registrant until August 2003. If you have a paper certificate, this remains valid until the expiry date shown on the certificate. Paper certificates and Reply Forms have been replaced by an online system called Registrants Online. Domain names are being transferred to the online system when they are next renewed.
