1.6. What is SSL?
|
| |
The SSL security
protocol provides data encryption, server authentication,
message integrity, and optional client authentication for a
TCP/IP connection. Because SSL is built into all major
browsers and web servers, simply installing a digital
certificate turns on their SSL capabilities. |

2.2. How do I pop-in to pick up my
virtual domain email? |
| |
Virtual domain users
need to use the following format for their user name when
popping in: user%virtual_domain_name Eudora might require the
following syntax: user%virtual_domain_name@pophost Microsoft clients
may take the following syntax: user@virtual_domain If you don't include the
%virtual_domain_name, vpopmail will assume it is either a
/etc/passwd user or a vpop user in ~vpopmail/users or
configured with "default domain". |

3.1. What is a domain
name? |
| |
Domain names are the
familiar, easy to remember names for computers on the Internet
(such as internic.net). They correspond to a series of numbers
(called Internet Protocol numbers) that serve as routing
addresses on the World Wide Web. Domain names are used
generally as a convenient way of locating information and
reaching others on the Internet. |
| |
| |
|
3.2. What does "register a domain
name" mean? |
| |
The Internet domain
name system (DNS) consists of a directory, organized
hierarchically, of all the domain names and their
corresponding computers registered to particular companies and
persons using the Internet. When you register a domain name,
it will be associated with the computer on the Internet you
designate during the period the registration is in
effect. |
| |
| |
|
|
|
3.4. What is involved in
registering a domain name in .com, .net or .org?
|
| |
To register a domain
name, you will be asked to provide the registrar you select
with the various contact and technical information that makes
up the registration. H-Sphere will guide you through the easy
process. H-Sphere will automatically contact the registrar,
who will then keep records of the contact information and
submit the technical information to a central directory known
as the "registry." This registry provides other computers on
the Internet the information necessary to send you e-mail or
to find your web site. You will also be required to enter a
registration contract with the registrar, which sets forth the
terms under which your registration is accepted and
maintained. |
| |
| |
|
3.5. Will my name and contact
information be publicly available? |
| |
Yes. Information
about who is responsible for domain names is publicly
available to allow rapid resolution of technical problems and
to permit enforcement of consumer protection, trademark, and
other laws. The registrar will make this information available
to the public on a "Whois" site. |

3.9. Someone else has registered my
company's name as a .com domain name. What is the
process for
resolving my complaint? |
| |
All ICANN-accredited
registrars follow a uniform dispute resolution policy. Under
that policy, disputes over entitlement to a domain-name
registration are ordinarily resolved by court litigation
between the parties claiming rights to the registration. Once
the court rules who is entitled to the registration, the
registrar will implement that ruling. In disputes arising from
registrations allegedly made abusively (such as
"cybersquatting" and cyberpiracy"), the uniform policy
provides an expedited administrative procedure to allow the
dispute to be resolved without the cost and delays often
encountered in court litigation. In these cases, you can
invoke the administrative procedure by filing a complaint with
one of the dispute-resolution service providers listed at
http://www.icann.org/udrp/approved-providers.htm. For more
details on the uniform dispute resolution policy, see
http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp.htm. |

3.12. I've seen domain names
ending with two-letter combinations, like .uk. What are the
rules
for
registering these domains? |
| |
Two letter domains,
such as .uk, .de and .jp (for example), are called country
code top level domains (ccTLDs) and correspond to a country,
territory, or other geographic location. The rules and
policies for registering domain names in the ccTLDs vary
significantly and some are reserved for use by citizens of the
corresponding country. You should check with the registrar
offering ccTLD registration services regarding the specific
terms and conditions for registration. H-Sphere supports
hosting of such domains. |
| |
| |
|
3.13. What is a stopgap
domain? |
| |
A stopgap domain
allows to create hosting if you don't have any domain name. If
you register with a stopgap domain, you will get a domain name
like "loginname.u1.your-base-domain". You can create your own
web-site and access it with either the IP (if the IP is
dedicated) or the above domain name. This kind of domain
doesn't have any registration records in the DNS. |
