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 www.UnicDomains.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.
Why register or buy a domain name?
Visitors reach your web
site through its internet address
referred to as a domain name, so a good domain name
is of the utmost importance. Now that advertising for the internet has
become a billion-dollar business, companies are willing to pay large sums
of money for a memorable and effective domain name. A name that targets a
specific industry and is simple and easy to remember
will impress itself upon the public, saving your company millions of
dollars of advertising.
A domain name also allows you to receive e-mail at a customized
address, for
example, yourname@yourdomain.com.
When you register or purchase a domain name, you become the
sole owner of the rights to that domain so
that no other individual or company can register or
use it without your express written permission. You will
own the rights to that internet address
indefinitely, assuming you pay the s.
Buying or registering a good domain
name is also an option for investors wishing to profit from the
internet. The internet only has a certain amount of commercial
(".com") addresses for sale, and all of the best 3-6 character
names have already been registered. Eventually, all of the most effective
domain names will have been registered and
the demand for your particular domain name could skyrocket. Just as shares
of stock increase in value, the value of a domain name increases with
time. If a buyer expresses interest in your domain name, you can set the
price because your name is entirely unique, hence
our name UnicDomains.com. Even if you don't develop
a business on the web site, purchasing a domain can be extremely
profitable. Domain Name buying and selling is big
business now. For example Business.com, Stocks.com and
Books.com sold for millions of dollars.
See examples
of recent sales. The latest forecasts indicate than Internet user base will double in number in
the next few years so there is incredible potential for these names. There are
approximately 50,000 domain names being registered each and every day. You may register
your
own domain name today before its too late using our Registration Services
or you can even buy an existing
domain name through our large selection here.

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 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 1,000,000 per month- they go quickly!

take?

Is it possible for someone to register my
domain name after I have registered it?
No. The availability of .com, .net, .org and .info 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 UnicDomains.com registration and processing
system updates the central registry in real time.

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, visit
www.UnicDomains.com and enter the DNS information in the
Domain
Management Control Panel 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!
You can have your domain name point to an
existing website such as one you might have created for example at www.geocities.com/mywebsite/.
This is called URL forwarding and it is available in your Management
Panel at a cost of $5.00 per year per domain.
If you would like to establish an email account, your Internet Service Provider (ISP) will give you their DNS info. Simply go to
www.UnicDomains.com and enter the DNS info in the Domain
Management Control Panel 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.
Email re-direction or email
forwarding is also available for your domain within the Management
Panel at a cost of $5.00 per year per domain which includes up to 10
different email aliases being forwarding to different email addresses.
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
"Domain
Management Control Panel".
This service is free of charge

I own a new domain, but when I type
it into my browser,
nothing comes up?
A domain name is not a website. It's simply an address someone uses to
find a website. If you would like to have a website, you can contact a web
design or hosting company. After they build you a Website, you can enter
their Domain Name Server Info (DNS Info) by clicking on the
UnicDomains.com "Domain
Management Control Panel" link or the MEMBER Login link on the left menu of our home page. Within 24-48 hours after you enter the DNS
info, your new website will be accessible to anyone in the world to see,
including you!
If you would like to have a free parking page for your domain address to
point to, please refer to the next question "Will
I get a FREE parking page for my domain name?"
Will
I get a FREE parking page for my domain name?
Yes, if you do not specify
your own DNS nameservers on initial registration, we will point your
domain name to a parking page. If your domain does not point to a
parking page after 48 hours, please let us know at
requesting to activate your FREE parking page and specifying the domain
name.
