We help select, register and renew domain names.
We can help you select the best domain name for your firm and then register it for only $20.00 per year. Our hosting system supports unlimited domain names pointed (parked) to the same web site at no extra charge. Our hosting system also supports unlimited sub-domains at no extra charge. We actively manage more than 50 domain names through our master account at the registrar Dotster.com.
We strongly recommend against registering individual domain names in a private account. Since domain names can be registered for periods that extend past the expiration of a credit card, it is common for a domain name to fail to renew in a account due to an expired credit card. Also, domain accounts that are checked infrequently may get linked to an e-mail address that becomes obsolete, making it extremely difficult to login to the domain account or receive expiration notices.
These are the two most common problems we see with privately managed domain accounts that result in expired domains. Our domain master account is actively managed and maintained weekly so these problems are avoided.
When we register a name, you own the name and the public registration information (the address returned by using WhoIs) will display your company name. We are careful to omit the fax number, and we use a special e-mail address to ensure you do not receive spam. We also register all domain names using the name Web Master to avoid telephone solicitations.
Domain names are not case sensitive, so www.jonrosensystems.com and www.JonRosenSystems.com are not different and do not require separate registration. We recommend using mixed case letters to make your domain name easier to read.
If you plan on hosting with us, we encourage you to register your domain names with us too, which will simplify and speed up your setup. We maintain our own DNS servers, so if you are switching to our service please specify these name servers:
- ns1.JonRosenSystems.net
- ns2.JonRosenSystems.net
Our name servers are configured in compliance with the IETF RFC 2182 guide, which specifies that two different name servers should be assigned to geographically separate servers. Each of our name servers is assigned a separate IP address at its own datacenter in a different city. This ensures that a failure at any level in either datacenter will not prevent the domain name from being found on the Internet.
When selecting a domain name, we recommend registering variations using hyphens and also registering the phone number as a domain name. An example of different domain names for the same site is shown below:
www.JonRosenSystems.com
www.JonRosenSystems.NET
www.Jon-Rosen-Systems.com
www.7168399714.com
For domain transfers, we require notification from the owner and the account must be paid in full before transfer authorization codes are provided.
