- What is a 'Domain Name'?
- Think of a Domain Name as your Web site's address. Visitors need to know your Web site's address/domain to visit. For example, MonsterWeb's domain is MonsterWeb.net.
- Why do I need a Domain?
- Just like a house needs an address, every Web site needs a domain. No one will know where your Web site resides without a domain.
- Will I own my Domain Name if I register it through MonsterWeb?
- If you register a Domain Name with MonsterWeb, you will retain complete ownership of the domain. MonsterWeb is simply registering the domain with the ICANN Registry in your name.
- Why are domains purchased yearly?
- All domains are registered with the ICANN Registry and the ICANN Registry requires yearly registration. You can register your domain with MonsterWeb for multiple years, but must be done in yearly increments.
- How can I protect my personal information?
- Personal information is registered publically in association with your domain name. This allows anyone on the internet acess to your personal information. MonsterWeb's Domain Protect service hides that information from prying eyes, helping protect your information from identity theft, spammers and more.
- How can I buy a registered domain?
- If you are interested in purchasing a currently registered domain, MonsterWeb will act as a middle man and help with the negotiation and transfer of the domain.
