Q&A begins here:
What is a
Domain Name?
A 'Domain
Name' is the name by which a company or organization is known on the internet. It is the basis of your internet identity. A domain name is a unique alpha-numeric name used to identify a particular
computer (i.e. Web server or mail server) on the Internet. Domain names allow Internet users to type in a name, such as mybrand.com, to identify a numeric address such as 209.67.50.203. The purpose of domain names is to allow ordinary users connected to the Internet to
find Web sites and send email to addresses with familiar names such as "mybrand.com" or "yourname.com"
without having to memorize the numerical addresses that actually locate the computers or servers on the Internet.
For example, E-For-Sale Corp. might want to use E-For-Sale.com as its domain name. They could host its web site at and use order@E-For-Sale.com for email.Domain names must be unique. There can be only ONE E-For-Sale.com domain name. Domain names
are granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Therefore, it is important to register your domain name as soon as possible to ensure that your desired name isn't taken by someone else. Want more detailed info

Who is
InterNIC?
The InterNIC is a concept for an integrated network
information center that was developed by several companies, in cooperation
with the U.S. Government. InterNIC is a registered service mark of the U.S. Department of Commerce and offers International control of Domain Name registration to assure ownership of registration to current registrants.

be protected by InterNic?

when you register your domain with our services we file your application with you as the "Administrative Contact".
Being the administrative contact means that you are the decision maker for that name. In more specific terms, you own the registration of that particular name and no one else can use it. What is a Top Level Domain
(TLD)?

.COM, .NET .ORG .INFO or .BIZ extensions.
How much does it cost to
register a domain name?
