What is a domain name? Practically speaking, your domain name (Webaddress) is the core of your Internet identity, your online brand. Your customers will remember this name and use it to find your Web site, your products or your services. And since no two parties can ever hold the same domain name (Web address) simultaneously, your Internet identity is totally unique. Technically, a domain name (Web address) is an addressing construct used for identifying and locating computers on the Internet. While computers use Internet Protocol (IP) numbers to locate each other on the Internet, people find them hard to remember. Therefore, domain names (Web addresses) were developed to permit the use of easily remembered words and phrases to identify Internet addresses. For example, the domain name (Web address) F12web.net represents F12web.net Web sites. When you type F12web.net into a Web browser or send e-mail to someone at F12web.net, the Domain Name System (DNS) translates F12web.net into the IP numbers used by the Internet and connects you to F12web.net.

What does it mean to "register" a domain name? There is a central registry of all domain names on the Internet. For your domain name to become a part of the registry, your domain name needs to be added to that registry. "Registering" a domain name means you are associated with that domain name for the period of the registration. Only ICANN-approved Registrars have access to the database.
Who should register a domain name? Anyone thinking about establishing a presence on the Internet should register a domain name. You don't have to utilize it right away, but you can reserve it for your future use. Domains are being registered at the rate of more than 300,000 per month- they go quickly!
How long does the registration process take? The application process should only take a few minutes to complete. All registrations take place within 24 hours during regular business days- once your application has been processed and approved, your name is registered.
Is it possible for someone to register my domain name after I have registered it? The availability of .com, .net and .org domain names is verified through a central registry system. This system prevents a domain name that is successfully registered from being registered by another person or entity. The registration and processing system updates the central registry in real time.
What methods of payment are accepted? Company checks are accepted. Also terms are available via a fax copy of your company's purchase order made out to F12web.net. We will be accepting credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, or Discover.
If a domain name is already registered, can I find out who owns the name? Yes. If you check the availability of a domain name and it is already registered, click on the box: "Show Registrant Information". This will display the contact information associated with a registered domain name.
