What
does it mean to "register" a domain name?
In
short, to "register" a domain name is simply to "reserve" a domain
name. The Internet domain name system (DNS) consists of a directory,
organized hierarchically, of all the domain names and their corresponding
computers registered to particular companies and persons using the Internet.
When you register a domain name, it will be associated with the computer
on the Internet you designate during the period the registration is in
effect.

How can I register foreign domain names (.uk, .se, .ca, etc)?
Please
click here to visit our Foreign
Domain Registrars resource page. Although, Onlinemalls can host
your foreign domain name, we DO NOT register any foreign domain
names. You will have to go to our Foreign
Registrars page, find your country, and register the domain name yourself.
We can give you any information needed by the foreign registrar.

How long does it take for the world to access my domain name?
Your
registration should be completed within 24hrs and will be seen through
the Whois Database also
within 24hrs. Note that if your registration also includes web hosting,
then it truly depends on ALL networks and ISPs of the world to update
their servers and lookup your new domain name. Thus, full propagation of
new domain names by the entire Internet should take place within 48-72
hrs.

Who owns the domain name if I register with you?
You
do! When we register your domain name, we will put you as the administrative
and billing contact. Whenever someone wants to make modifications with
your domain name, the administrative is always contacted first.
The technical contact for each domain will be service@onlinemalls.com.
If for any reason you do not want service@onlinemalls.com as the technical
contact, please let us know by emailing dns@onlinemalls.com.

Is the InterNIC synonymous with Network Solutions, Inc?
No.
The InterNIC is a concept for an integrated network information center
that was developed by several companies, including Network Solutions, in
cooperation with the U.S. Government. Under a recent agreement with the
U.S. Government, Network Solutions is transitioning from the use of the
word "InterNIC" in connection with its products and services. InterNIC
is a registered service mark of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
