Without these people it would be virtually impossible to maintain a sense of sanity on the Internet. site-host sumbits all registrations for new domain names (.com, .net, .org) with InterNIC. Back to the top What is the fee regarding InterNIC domain name registration? New domain names registered after April 1, 1998 cost $70.00 good for the first two years. Each additional year is $35.00. Back to the top Do I have to pay the InterNIC fee? Yes. Anyone who registers a new domain name with a .com, .net, or .org extension (regardless of what web hosting provider one goes through) MUST pay the InterNIC fee. There is no way around this! InterNIC now requires full payment prior to the activation of the domain name. Back to the top How can I register foreign domain names (.uk, .se, .ca, etc)? site-host requires foreign domain registration to be completed by the owner of the domain. You will need the following information when registering a foreign domain:
NS.site-host.COM - 216.147.43.64 InterNIC usually takes less than 24 hours to complete domain name modifications
When registering a new domain InterNIC usually will complete this task within 12-24 hours (for the past few months, InterNIC registration has been very swamped, so it's possible for it to take longer). However after this time period, it truly depends on ALL networks and ISPs of the world to update their servers and lookup your new domain name. Some popular dial-up ISPs (i.e. Earthlink, Slip.Net, Sprynet, Grid.Net) take less than 6 hours to update their servers, while others will take more than 3 days. So if you are still using a dial-up connection to the Internet, make sure you have a reliable ISP that promply updates its DNS servers, so you can access yourdomain.com right away.
