What is a Domain Name?
A domain name is really just an alias for your IP number address. When you sign up to put a Web site on the Internet with, you are given an Internet Protocol Number, or address. All the computers on the Internet can retrieve your site by pulling up this IP number. A domain name will allow you to have a World Wide Web address like www.yourname.com instead of having only a number such as 123.123.123.123.

Who own the Domain Name?
You become the owner of the domain name after we register the name with InterNIC with you as the Administrative Contact and Billing Contact. If anyone tries to move the domain or change any information on the form, they will contact you first. We are listed as the Technical Contact on the domain.

What is your policy on adult oriented sites?
It is our policy NOT to host adult oriented web sites. There are various legal and logistical reasons as to why we have decided to instigate this policy, among others: adult sites typically generate an enormous amount of traffic disproportionate to the amount of useful information provided (although that's subject to debate as well). On the subject of legality, while we are fully aware of the overturning of the Communications Decency Standard, this
is only a temporary ruling.
