Registrants’ Benefits and Responsibilities

A domain name is a custom name of your choice that is part of your Internet address and email address(es). Domain names are setup on our servers both with the www. prefix and without (for example: www.yourname.com and yourname.com). We will gladly register your choice of a domain name for you. In addition, all of your e-mail will reflect your domain name!
