Domain Name Basics


Domain Name Registration -
Your phone number on the Internet

With the recent increase in Internet usage, most businesses are finding that they need a domain name to define themselves on the world wide web. When you type www.net-systems.net on your Internet browser, you are really dialing the Internet phone number for NetSystems, and when you send an e-mail to sales@netsystems.net, the e-mail is automatically routed to come to us.

Upon registration, your domain name is entered into what is essentially an Internet phone book, which tells servers how to route your mail and find your web site.

Many companies are now advertising domain name registration, and some include web hosting with the registration. There are important differences, however, in companies that register domains. Getting it done right the first time can save lots of headaches in the long run.

Is it complicated? Perhaps the most difficult aspect of domain name registration is not the registration itself but making changes to information after your name is registered. Each registration includes billing, administrative, and technical contact information. With some domain name registration companies, making changes to this contact information is very difficult, necessitating long distance phone calls or E-mails that don't get answered. If you are ready to register a domain name, please contact us at 316-691-9400 so that we can advise you on the technical information needed for your network configuration.

Do it right: NetSystems has found that registering our customers' domain names ourselves is preferable, as contact information can be changed easily (by those with authorization), and changes are usually reflected very quickly. We do offer turnkey domain name registration services, at $40 for the first year's registration, or $60 for a two-year registration. We will help you find a domain name that is right for you, check its availability, and then register it for you. Before registering, it is important to consider your ISP (Internet service provider) so that technical contact information can be set up correctly.

Because a domain name is your "phone number" on the Internet, let NetSystems help you make sure you don't get wrong numbers and busy signals.
