FAQs
Much general information
about domains is here in this 'white
paper' on domain names .
Q- Is the purchase price all
I pay to own a domain listed at Domain Pizza?
A- Yes. However
please understand that all domains, even microsoft.com ebay.com,
amazon.com etc. are registered for one year at a time and
expire one year from the day that they were first created.
Years of registration may be added to a domain registration
up to a maximum of ten years. As long as a domain is renewed
you may own it forever.
Your
purchase from DomainPizza gives you ownership of the domain
name. It is the responsibility of all domain owners to maintain
the renewal of their domain name. As part of each domain purchase
Domain Pizza adds one year of registration for free, and if
you request it on the purchase form Domain Pizza will, as
part of the purchase process add up to an additional 5 years
to the registration of the domain at $8.00 per year.
Q- Does DomainPizza offer hosting?
A- Yes at our
SERVICES annex we offer hosting and other
domain related services.
Q- How do I transfer a domain name
purchased from Domain Pizza?
A- All our domains are registered
at GoDaddy.com. To transfer to DomainPizza.NET, first create
a free account at DomainPizza.NET before your purchase.When
you make your purchase tell us if you want to move the domain
to your GoDaddy.com account or transfer it to DomainPizza.net
or some other registrar. If you are moving the domain to your
GoDaddy account we will ask you for your account number, the
email address for that account and the email address that
you want as the administrative email for the domain. If you
are transferring to DomainPizza.net or any other registrar,
we will unlock the domain, change the admin email address
to whatever you specify, and send the transfer code to the
email address that was invoiced by paypal. Follow instructions
at the new registrar to transfer the domain. We recommend
transferring to our DomainPizza
Services location which is an excellent choice. DomainPizza
Services is a GoDaddy / WildWest affiliate registrar which
offers the same services as GoDaddy, at the lowest possible
discount rates.
Note.
The transfer of a domain name will automatically
add an additional year to the length of your registration,
at the price charged by the new registrar..
You may wish to add several years to the length of your registration
as part of the purchase process if the registrar you are transferring
to charges more than $8.00 per year for registrations. Since
they will honor the current length of registration on a domain
that is transferred to them, adding to the length of registration
during your purchase at this bargain rate may save you quite
a bit.
Also,
most registrars require you to transfer to them if you are
going to purchase added services like hosting and email options
from them. If you will be obtaining hosting from a provider
that is not also a registrar there is no need to transfer
your domain to another registrar except to have all of your
domains with one registrar for ease of management or to pay
as little as possible for renewal of your domain name. DomainPizza
offers renewals and transfers for $8.68 on .COMs.
