Domain Name Information
 

New domain name registrations

1. Why should I register a domain name?
A domain name will give you a unique identity on the Internet. In some ways, a domain name is similar to a customized license plate. Many organization find it useful to have an e-mail or Web address that is similar to their company name or to their company product(s).

If your organization's name is Example, Inc., you could register the domain name EXAMPLE.COM and your e-mail address could be user_name@example.com. Your customers would also be able to access your organization's Web site by visiting "www.example.com" with their Web browser.

2. Who can register a .COM, .NET and .ORG domain name?
Guidelines for which types of entities should register in each of the three Top Level Domains (TLD) were provided in RFC 1591. It was suggested that .COM be used primarily for commercial businesses, .NET for network related organizations and .ORG for nonprofit groups.

3. What are the valid characters for a domain name and how long can it be?
The only valid characters for a domain name are letters, numbers and a hyphen. Special characters like the underscore (_) or an exclamation mark (!) are NOT permitted. Domain names cannot contain spaces or begin or end with a hyphen. A domain name can be up to 26 characters long including the 4 characters used to identify the Top Level Domain (.NET, .COM, .ORG, or .EDU).

Examples:
example.com is a valid domain name (11 characters) http://www.example.com is not a domain name, it is a uniform resource locator (URL) used by Web browsers to find documents and resources  www.example.com is not a domain name, www is the name of one computer in the example.com domain.

Will Yekan Network Engineering handle my domain registration?

Yes. We will register your Domain Name once your account is activated to request either a new domain name registration or transfer.

Can I transfer an existing domain name to Yekan Network Engineering from another provider?

Yes. When you place an order with Yekan Network Engineering, you will specify whether it is a new domain name or a transfer of an existing domain name. You should keep the service at the present site while waiting for us to complete the transfer. We will provide you with a temporary IP address so you can mirror the site on our server. When we announce the completion of the transfer there is a 72 hour period where visitors could go to either site. We will send an e-mail to your previous host informing them of the change. Your previous host will authorize and e-mail back to us. Sometimes it may be necessary to contact your old host by phone.

How soon will my domain name be active once I sign up with Yekan Network Engineering?

It usually takes about 48 hours for your Domain to become active. We will have your domain and e-mail ready to go then.

Will I be able to access my domain name with or without the www?

Yes, you will be able to access the domain name with or without the www in front. For example, you could access the domain name "yourcompany.com" by going to "www.yourcompany.com" as well as "yourcompany.com".
