Do I need to own or register a DNS (Domain Name Server) ?
You do not need to own or register your own DNS (Domain Name Server) in order to register a domain name or to sign up for Email or Web hosting Services.

How will I know when my domain name registration is up for renewal ?
You don't have to wait for your domain name registration to expire before you renew it.  You can extend the term of your domain name registration at any time by clicking on the Renewal link in NetRegister's Control Panel.

In order to ensure that our customers' online identities are protected, NetRegister will send you a notification email 60/45/30/15/5/4/3/2/1 days before your current domain name registration term is set to expire.  Additionally, you can check the expiration date(s) of your domain name registration(s) through domain Control Panel, which is located here.

Can I renew multiple domain names simultaneously ?
Yes! Renewal link in the Workgroup account Control Panel allows you to renew one, some or all of your domain names/services.

What will happen to my domain name if I don't renew the registration ?
If you choose not to renew your domain name registration term, the domain name will become available for registration upon the expiration of the current term to other potential registrants.

Can I renew my domain name, which was originally registered through Network Solutions, Inc., through NetRegister ?
Yes, if you have registered your domain name through Network Solutions, Inc. or any other domain name registrar, you can easily transfer and renew your domain name online through NetRegister's automated Transfer of Registrar process.

What is email ?
Email, or electronic mail, is a widely used process of sending text messages and attached files from one user to another through the Internet. There are many types of email clients (software programs) that allow users to create, send and receive electronic mail.

What is an email address ?
An email address is an identifier for a user on the Internet that specifies where electronic mail for that user should be delivered. Email addresses are formatted in the following way:

you_email_box@your_domain_name.com

The mailbox name specifies the specific user at the domain name to which you are sending email. There can be an unlimited number of mailbox names associated with a domain name, allowing for the creation of an unlimited number of email addresses at any domain name.

What is Web-based email? Is it secure ?
Web-based email is electronic mail that can be sent and received from a Web site on the Internet, using a Web browser (like Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer), rather than using an email program (such as Qualcomm Communications' Eudora™ or Microsoft Outlook™). The advantage of Web-based email is that it can be retrieved and sent from any computer with an Internet connection, whereas traditional email programs must be configured on a specific computer to send and receive mail for a particular email address.

NetRegister makes security a priority. NetRegister's Email Service utilizes state-of-the-art security measures in its mail system architecture. Mail stored on our email servers is accessible only by you and protected by a secret password you select. If you log into NetRegister's Email Service from a public terminal, you can choose to have your pages expired so nobody can look at your past email sessions.

How long is the service term for NetRegister's POP3 Email accounts ?
NetRegister's POP3 Email account term is one year. After one year, you will need to renew this service or else your email account and all associated email will be permanently deleted. You will receive renewal notification at least 60/45/30/15/5 days prior to expiration. Please note that if your domain name registration expires or if you transfer your domain name registration to another registrar before your Email account term expires, your email account and all associated email will be permanently deleted. In such event, you will not be entitled to a refund for the unused portion of the Email Service term.

What is the difference between my NetRegister user name and my mailbox name ?
Your NetRegister user name and password is used to log into Domain Control Panel and to access your domain parameters. It also accesses account information, such as DNS information, Webserver parameters, URL forwarding, POP3 Email accounts, etc.

Your mailbox name is the name that you will use to log into your NetRegister email account. It is also the name that will appear before the "@" symbol in your email address. For instance, if you choose the mailbox name "John-Smith" and your domain name is "johndomain.com", your email address will appear as:

John-Smith@johndomain.com

After I sign up, when will I be able to access my new mailbox on the Internet ?
Immediatly!

Can my NetRegister email be configured for use with a POP3 email client ?
To configure your POP (Post Office Protocol) compliant email software to retrieve your NetRegister email, please follow these steps, substituting your registered domain name for "YourDomainName.com" and your mailbox for "yourname":

  1. Go to the setup section of your email software.
  2. Change the Incoming Mail (POP) server to:
    POP3 server: mail.YourDomainName.com
  3. Change the POP user name or account name to your new mailbox name, using the following format:
    login name: YourDomainName.com-N (where N=1 to 99)
  4. Change the "Reply To:" address to your new NetRegister email account name (for example, yourname@YourDomainName.com).
  5. Your password for POP is the same as your mailbox password.

What happens to my POP3 Email accounts if my domain name registration expires ?
If your domain name registration expires prior to the expiration date of your POP3 Email accounts term, your netRegister Email Service will be automatically terminated. This means your email account and all associated email will be permanently deleted. In such event, you will not be entitled to a refund for the unused portion of the Email Service term.

What happens to my POP3 Email accounts if I transfer my domain name registration to another registrar ?
If you transfer your domain name registration to a registrar other than NetRegister at any point during the domain name registration term, your NetRegister POP3 Email accounts will be automatically terminated. This means your email account and all associated email will be permanently deleted. In such event, you will not be entitled to a refund for the unused portion of the Email Service term.

What's the difference between "URL Forwarding" and "Free URL Forwarding" ?
First of all, what does the forwarding/redirection service include? Take for instance the following: you already have a web space (might as well be a free web space) where you published your web site. The URL is probably rather long, and not easy to pronounce. The solution is easy: simply register your domain name and ask for our redirection service: i.e., your domain name will be redirected to your web pages.

And what about the difference between "URL Forwarding" and "Free URL Forwarding" ? In both services, your domain name will be redirected to the URL of your web site, leaving the domain name "frozen" in the browser window. Included in the redirection-service is e-mail forwarding: We will explain further into detail what this includes for each redirection-option individually:

FREE URL FORWARDING/REDIRECT:
You can publish as much virtual e-mail addresses (for example xxx@yourdomain.biz) on your web site as you like. All messages sent to the virtual e-mail addresses of the before mentioned type will be redirected towards the e-mail address you currently use.
Free Url Redirect gives your site a professional image
since NO publicity banners will be added from our part.
The destination-URL can be altered at each point in time during the 12-month period through your domain Control Panel.
COST: see pricing.

URL FORWARDING/REDIRECT:
You can publish one virtual e-mail addresses (for example xxx@yourdomain.biz) on your web site. All messages sent to the virtual e-mail address (one in number) of the before mentioned type will be redirected towards the e-mail address you currently use.
NetRegister will have the right to insert in its own HTML form or publicity banners that enable the visitors of your web site to check the availability of domain names.
COST : For the activation for the "URL forwarding" service there is no additional fee next to the domain name registration fee whatsoever.

Can I use my own DNS when registering a domain name through NetRegister ?
Yes,of course.
Moreover, this procedure is entirely free and automated via Domain Control Panel.

May I resell NetRegister services ?
Yes,you may.

What is the Data Transfer ?
In general, any outward-bound traffic from a Web site, with the exception of e-mail, is considered as data transfer. For example, each time a Web page, image, midi file, quicktime video, etc. is loaded, data transfer is generated. Each of our plans includes a generous amount of free data transfer which should be more than enough for most sites. In fact, 98% to 99% of our customers operate within their free data transfer allowance.

What is the Disk Storage Space
Disk storage space refers to the amount of server disk storage specifically allocated to your account. This space is used to store your html files, graphics, audio clips, POP mail messages, pdfs, and other files that make up your Web site.
