How long does it take to register my domain name?

There are three steps that must be completed before your new domain name is visible on the net. First, your name must be registered with InterNIC, the domain name coordination entity. Second, all of the internet service provider's dns databases must be updated to route to our server. Third, our server is configured to return the "Under Construction" page whenever a user requests your domain name. The entire process can take up to a week, however in most cases its completed within a few days.

I'm in a hurry to get online, isn't there a faster way?

If you're wanting to actually place a web site online, you should consider either our Virtual Domain hosting or Managed Domain hosting rather than parking a domain name. With either option, since we mirror your site as a BonusPages sub-domain your site can be placed online and accessed at www.bonuspages.com/yoursite while you are waiting for your domain name registration to be completed. We'll provide an 'Under Construction' web page at your internet addresses until your pages are completed.

Are there any additional costs?

The fee we charge you is strictly for completing all registration forms and providing your "under construction" page. InterNIC currently charges $35.00 per year to maintain your registration in their database. You will be billed separately by "Network Solutions" an initial amount of $70.00 for the first two years registration fees.

How do I sign up for this service?

Reserving your domain name is easy! Click on 'Order' on the toolbar at the top of this page (or click here), fill out our brief questionaire and click on the 'send order' button. We'll start processing your request right away. Don't forget to send your payment in as soon as possible since we cannot complete your domain name registration until it arrives.

Do you accept credit cards?

We sure do! Credit card payments can be made using our online secure form by clicking here.

What is InterNIC?

InterNIC is a coordinating authority that was developed to manage the internet. InterNIC manages domain names, and handles the routing of internet traffic. Domain names are being taken everyday, so the sooner you register yours, the more likely you are to be able to use the one you want.
