Will
I be able to access my domain name with or without the 'www.'?
No, you will not be
able to access the domain name without the 'www.' in front. For
example, you can only access the domain name "mydomain.com"
by going to "www.mydomain.com".

Do
you handle domain registration?
Yes. We will
contact the InterNIC once your account is activated to request a
new domain name registration.
When an account is
activated with a new domain name, we will automatically send the
registration template to InterNIC. The information sent on the
template is pulled directly from the order form. InterNIC
typically completes the registration within 24 hours, and
propagation typically takes about 72 hours.
Let us know if you
do not receive notification that a domain name has been registered
within two weeks. In the meantime, refer all concerns to Registration
Services. You can reach them by calling (703)742-4777 and
selecting option number 2, or you may write them at hostmaster@rs.internic.net.
Be sure to reference your NIC ticket number when contacting either
us or the InterNIC.

What
is a NIC handle?
Every entity
registered with InterNIC has a NIC handle. You can use the same
NIC handle as the contact for several domains. This way, if you
make a change to the NIC handle (i.e., the e-mail address), all
domains using that NIC handle will be updated as well.

How
long does it take before my domain name is active?
Once the InterNIC
announces that your domain name has been registered (or
transferred, if applicable), it usually takes about 72 hours
before it visible to all users of the Internet. All Internet
providers must update their records (DNS tables) to reflect new
site locations. This process is called propagation.

What
is the InterNIC fee for domain registration ?
The InterNIC charges
$35 to register a new domain name for one year or $75 for two
years. The
InterNIC will send you an invoice via e-mail between 3 weeks to
1-1/2 months after the domain is registered.
