Below is a starter FAQ for domains and a few general question and answers about domains with HostMySite.com.

Question: What domain name extensions do we register?
Answer: We currently register .com, .net, .org, .info, .us, .co.uk,.ca, or .biz domain name extensions at this time.

Question: How much do domain names with our service cost by default?
Answer: Our domain name are free with a yearly hosting plan. If you are purchasing either a quarterly hosting plan or are just looking to purchase a domain name only account, the cost is $20 for one year of registration or $35 for two years of registration.

Question: Who has ownership of the domain name if you register a domain name with us?
Answer: You do. We are listed as the technical contact, as we would be managing the name servers, and you would be listed as both the administrative and billing contact, therefore having complete ownership of your domain name.

Question: How long does it take for a domain name to be registered for this service?
Answer: Typically we process our new orders within one hour of submission. Once a domain is registered it takes 24-72 hours for the domain to lock, register, and fully propagate throughout all of the name servers across the internet.

Question: What registrar service does HostMySite.com utilize to registrar domain names?
Answer: We work with TuCows/OpenSRS to register, perform registrar transfer, and maintain our customer domain names. TuCows/OpenSRS is a ICann credited registrar

Question:
How much do domain names with our service cost by default?
Answer:
One domain name is free with a yearly hosting plan. If you are purchasing either a quarterly hosting plan or are just looking to purchase a domain name only account, the cost is $12 for the first year of registration, and $10 for each year at the time of purchase. Domain renewal is $12, but again if you renew for more than one year then each additional year is only $10. A transfer of registrars automatically increments the domain registration by one year, so the cost for that is $12 as well.

If I want to repoint a domain that I purchased with you guys - what control panel do I use to do that? Can I do that form the safesecureweb control panel or do I need to go ot the registrars control panel?

If you're using our Nameservers you can do this from the HMS control panel, though you may need to ask Support@ to add it to the DNS administration section of your profile.

If you don't want to use our nameservers, you'd need to use the registrar control panel to change them, i.e. http://manage.safesecureweb.com
