Frequently Asked QuestionsWho is Network Solutions, and what do they do? Network Solutions is an organization that registers domain names in the United States. Network Solutions at one time had a monopoly. Now many other companies provide the service, and as a result of competition, numerous domain name registrars from around the world are providing .com, .net and .org domain name registration services. Why do I have to register my domain name? Computers on the internet communicate via TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). When a computer tries to communicate with another machine it looks up the IP address assigned to the name you type in the URL. The actual letters you use are meaningless to the computer until they are translated into an IP address.
Here is a simplified view of what happens when someone types www.yourcompany.com into
their browser: How long before I can use my domain name? Usually, only a couple of days. After the name is submitted to the register, they acknowledge its receipt by email, usually that same day. A second notification comes when the domain is completed, usually that same day or the next. Then it may take another day for the root servers to actually be updated. Of course, as soon as we set up your domain, you can access your domain immediately using the IP address that we provide you with. How much does it cost to register a domain name? Price varies between registrars. The average is between $15.00-$35.00 per year How do I transfer my domain to your servers?
