Transfer your Domain Name
to RELICONS!

A domain name is simply a description of a computer's location on the Internet. For an organization, a domain name is similar to a customized license plate. Registering a domain name on the Internet is the equivalent of registering a company name at Companies House. Once registered, no-one else can use that name. As there are many companies with similar names, it is important to register a suitable domain name for your company as soon as possible. A domain name is a way by which a company can uniquely identify itself on the Internet.

If your company name was yourfirm Inc., the domain name would be your firm.com. Your web site would be located at: http://www.yourfirm.com and your email addresses would be in the form of username@yourfirm.com. There are three different types of domain names that you can register. The general purposes for these domains are: .com Commercial, .net Network and .org Miscellaneous Organizations.

Yes. Relicons will register your domain name and keep it for you till the time you are ready to host the site. The day you are ready to host your domain, you will have to contact us by email and we will setup your domain on our servers. (When required, your domain will be activated within 24 hours, Monday to Friday only). We will set up your domain on our servers. Not only that, we will create a single web page that indicates that your site is "under construction".

Different domain extensions cost differently.

At this moment, new Internet Domain Names are being registered at an astronomical rate! If you don't reserve your Domain Name now, you risk having it pulled right out from under you...forever. You see, no Domain Name can be registered twice. If you don't reserve now, then someone else can.

Once registered, the domain name is unchangeable. You can register another new domain name if you wish.

You can register as many as you like, provided they are available to be booked. In all circumstances you will have to adopt the same process of domain registration, which you were adapting to book a single domain.

This is a very real possibility as there are tens of thousands of names being registered EVERY day. Even if its available when you sign-up for Relicons services in this regard, there may be someone in the process already that wants that domain name. The best bet is to pick a domain name that is simple for customers to remember yet unique enough that no one will possibly think of using it. You may also be able to get a name close to what you want merely by putting - or some other part of your legal business name into your domain name.

You can use the characters a-z and 0-9 (in any combination). You can also use hyphens (-), although your domain name cannot start or end with a hyphen. You cannot use any other characters, nor should you use punctuation. Use up to 67 characters total.

Yes.

Most domain name extensions require a minimum of 2 characters for a domain name, although a few countries have set higher minimums for names registered under their extension.

You get an email confirmation. It is always a good idea to print out any information supplied by your registrar during the registration process so that you will have access to it later.

Under the current Domain Name Service Agreement, all sales are final. If you want to register a different domain name, you'll have to pay again.

While this tactic may get you some "free" traffic, it's also a great recipe for a lawsuit. If the .com domain is trademarked, it's better to steer clear of trouble. If the .com domain is "generic" (that is, it is a dictionary word which is not trademarked) then you're safer. Ultimately, it's your decision.

This is commonly known as "typosquatting" i.e. buying a domain name with the expectation of siphoning traffic off of the legitimate site by snaring people who can't spell well. There have been a number of court cases as a result of this kind of behavior - most were decided in favor of the site owner. Ultimately, it's your decision.

It's important to remember that a domain name is only "yours" for as long as you keep paying the renewal fee. If you keep a domain name for 5 years, you'll have to pay 5 separate fees (although you can make a one-time payment for all 5 years).
