Once the domain name is taken, you will not be able to register it. For Internet business, it is a MUST to have your own domain name to have recognition and professionalism. Back To Top What about registrar? Domain names can be registered through many different companies known as "registrars". The registrar you choose will ask you to provide various contact and technical information that makes up the registration. The registrar will then keep records of the contact information and submit the technical information to InterNIC where all the information are kept in the "registry". This registry provides other computers on the Internet the information necessary to send you email or to find your web site. Back To Top How to check who is the owner of the domain name? Check the record to see that you are listed as the administrator (administrative contact) of the domain name. All correspondence related to the domain name will be sent to you for renewal, verification of transfer, etc. You are allowed keep or amend any information concerning your domain name. Back To Top How do I register for domain names? Our web hosting includes a free domain name to be chosen by you. Also, if you have registered a domain name, you can opt to host at our web hosting service. Back To Top How much disk space will you need? Although it is sometimes difficult to determine how large your Web Site will be, it is a good idea to have a rough estimate. This will allow you decide what Web Hosting account is right for you. As a rule, you can fit about 45 Web pages into 2 MB of disk space. Using this as a guide, you should estimate how large your site will be and choose an appropriate Web Hosting plan. You should also be sure to have enough room for future Web Site growth. Be sure to ask any potential Web Host about their upgrade policies in case you outgrow your current disk space limit. Back To Top What's DNS server and its function? The Domain Name System (DNS) function is to help surfers to find their way around the Internet. Every computer on the Internet including web servers has a unique address called its "IP address" (IP stands for "Internet Protocol"). As IP Addresses are hard to remember therefore DNS is implemented in the Internet by allowing the domain name to be used instead of the IP address. A name server maintains a directory of domain names and matching IP addresses. They use these directories to enable computers on their networks to find web sites and other resources. It usually takes about 48 hours before name servers on other networks are able to access the information after the registry for your domain gets it. This 48 hours period is referred to as propagation. To point your domain name to the IP address of your hosting service, go to control panel of your domain registrar, key in the DNS server names given. Our name server is: ns1.yaintech.com and ns2.yaintech.com Back To Top What about Free Vs. Paid Web Hosting? With the growing number of free Web Hosting servives available on the Internet today, you may be asking yourself "Why should I pay for Web Hosting when I can get it for free?". Several free Web Hosting services include Mail, GeoCities, etc. Most offer varying degrees of flexability when it comes to setting up an account. For instance some give you the ability to have an actual domain name while most require that you have a sub domain under their primary domain, i.e. http://geocities/yourname/... Some also allow you to run your own CGI scripts while others do not. One thing almost all free Web Hosts have in common is that they provide only a limited amount of disk space (usually 5-10 MB), they are very strict when it comes to data transfer and they usually require that you have their ads on your Web Site. One of the biggest compaints that users of free Web Hosting have is that they must often allow the Web Host to include banners or advertisements on their Web Sites. You've probably come accross a Hypermart or GeoCities Web Site and seen how an advertisement window pops up when you access the site. Many people find this annoying and want the freedom that paid Web Hosting allows. Another big factor that often causes people to go in search of paid Web Hosting is the desire to have a domain name. Most free Web Hosting companies do not give you this opportunity. If you do have access to your own domain with a free Web Host, chances are that you will have to put up with advertisements on your Web Site. Most companies that offer free Web Hosting also have strict limitations with regards to running and installing your own CGI scripts. Some will provide pre-installed scripts that you will have access to such as guestbooks, counters, or email form processors. However, if you want to test, install and run your own scripts, you will probably need to find a reliable paid Web Host. If this is a feature that you are interested in, be sure to ask any potential Web Host about their CGI script policies since they vary widely from company to company. If you have a fairly large Web site or offer lots of graphics, free Web Hosting may present some problems for you. Most free Web Hosting companies have strict disk space limits, usually 5-10 MB or less. While this is plenty for most Web Sites, some may find this is not enough. Before signing up with any Hosting service, be sure to ask ask disk space limits and the policies invloved in increasing the alloted space. Ultimately, the type of Web Hosting you choose depends on the specific needs of your Web Site. If you have a small personal Web Site and don't mind the ads and limititations that come with most free Web Hosting, then that may be the best choice for you. However, if you have a company or business, then you probably want your own domain name and that usually requires that you find paid Web Hosting. Back To Top Where are the web servers located?
