Domain names offer a more intuitive way to name and find a website. Each domain name replaces a string of meaningless numbers (an IP address) with a simple word or expression.

Q What is domain parking?

Domain parking is a service you can use when you have a domain that you do not currently have a site for. With domain parking visitors will be redirected to a coming soon page while you have the domain "parked".

Usually domain registration lasts a year before renewal is required, but you can register for more than a year.


Q How do I find out who owns a domain?

Use a WHOIS lookup. Example: Whois.net
