What
is a Domain Name? |
 |
A
domain name is a unique, personalized address that represents
a given location (such as a web site) on the Internet. Domain
names make it easy for visitors to find your web site and remember
your e-mail address. Registering a domain name is as easy as filling
out our online domain registration form.
Having a
domain name gives you:
- Access
your home page as http://www.yourcompany.com/
- Personalized
e-mail addresses such as you@yourcompany.com
- The ability
to create and update your files via FTP at yourcompany.com
- Reserve
your name, preventing it from being registered by another party.

What is virtual domain hosting? |
|
Domain hosting is having your site (www.yourname.com)
hosted by a server and thus publishing your site to the internet.
|
|
What if I already have a domain with
another provider and want to host with OffspringNet? |
|
You can transfer your domain to our servers.
Since there are multiple providers for obtaining domains, we will
contact you with the specifics on getting your domain updated. There
are no fees associated with assisting you in transferring your domain
name.

What is domain parking and can I "park"
my domain name at OffspringNet? |
|
Domain parking is a way of reserving your
name without having to build a web site. The latest estimates predict
that over 8,000 names/month are currently being registered. With
that in mind, parking your name guarantees that when you are ready
to build your web site, your name will be ready as well. If you
have questions, please feel free to call us and we will be happy
to step you through the process.

Do you offer a log analyzer program? |
|
Yes, our Bronze and higher packages come
with Web Stats. These stats provide you with detailed information
on all your traffic and viewers. To view the Stats for you site,
go to:

How do I use the shared SSL server? |

SSL server, all you have to do is put the link to the page that
you wish to be secure in the following format:
