DOMAIN NAMES - MAINTAINING DOMAIN RECORDS

Do I need to have a web site in order to keep my registration current?

What if you're not ready to launch your web site just yet but want to reserve a good name for your future site? No problem! Many registrars allow you to "park" your domain name while you're developing your web site.

Can I move my domain to another registrar?

Since the late 1990's when ICANN de-monopolized domain registration, registrars compete for your business. You can transfer your domain from one registrar to another - normally, without any disruption to your web site.

How much does it cost to maintain my domain name record?

Depending on the contract, the typical cost is between US$10 and US$35 annually.
