No doubt you already have a domain in mindcertain words,
phrases, or characters that have special meaning to you
or to your customers. Enter your selection below to search
to see what's available.
Overview
A domain name, such as domain.com, signifies your own
address on the Internet. Because no two parties can ever
hold identical domain names, picking a domain name lets
you have a truly unique identifier of you or your company.
It is how your site visitors and customers will remember
you and find you among the millions of other websites
on the Internet.
While .com is the #1 registered extension in the world
and the most well known top-level domain, it is no longer
the standard. Internet users now pay more attention to
the domain name extension when searching sites or when
reading from print for example. So if your first choice
is not available, do not be afraid to register your preferred
name in .net, info or any other extension.

Domain Registration FAQs
Do you offer a way to hide my personal information from
others after I order?
Yes. All new orders come with free WHOIS Privacy. Once
the order is placed, please contact support to have them
turn this option on. This feature will hide all your personal
information from being viewed from the WHOIS Database.
Is it possible for another person to register my domain
name after I have registered it?
.com, .net, .org, .info and .biz domain name availability
is verified by WebIntellects and other domain name registrars
through the SRS (Shared Registration System), a universal
database of available .com, .net and .org domain names.
This system prevents a domain name that is successfully
registered through WebIntellects from being registered
through another domain name registration service. The
.cc and .tv domain names are registered through their
respected databases.
How long before my newly registered domain name is accessible
on the Internet?
Domain names registered through WebIntellects may take
up to 72 hours (normal Internet propagation time) until
they are accessible on the Internet. If you are checking
your domain name availability on WebIntellects' web site
after you have completed the registration process for
a domain name is typically generated and available online
within a 24 - 72 hour time frame.
If I were to register my domain name, would you hold
the rights to the name?
No! WebIntellects will only be the technical contact.
You will have 100% ownership to include registrant, zone
contact, admin contact and billing contact. We need to
be your technical contact so we can assist in the management
of your domain name should you need it.
Is it possible to hide or edit my Contact Information
when someone does a WHOIS query on my domain name?
The Contact Information displayed in the WHOIS should
always be kept current. You can edit this information
to display whatever you would like (although you cannot
leave the fields blank). Please note that if you enter
invalid or false information you are in breach of contract
and it makes it very difficult to transfer host, change
DNS or manage your domain. WebIntellects does offer free
WHOIS Privacy with all domain name orders.
Why are the changes I made to my domain name still not
appearing on the Internet?
Changes to domain name information are not instantly
reflected and typically require standard propagation time
(24 - 72 hours). DNS changes (which require updating information
on file with the registry) may take up to 72 hours to
be reflected on the Internet for domain names.
How do I change the DNS information to point to your
servers?
We will request that you change the DNS (Domain Name
Server) Information for your domain name so that we can
manage and make necessary zone file modifications for
your domain name. In the event that you are changing a
web hosting company or Internet Service Provider, you
will need to make the change below:
ns1.hostdns4u.com
ns2.hostdns4u.com
You will need to contact your Registrar and have them
switch the DNS to what is listed above. If you do not
remember who your registrar is, you can go to http://www.internic.net/whois.html
and type in your domain name. The results will name your
registrar.
If you require any help, please contact us.
I no longer want my domain name. Will you refund my
money?
WebIntellects upholds a no-refund policy on all domain
name registrations. This includes all domains names that
you ordered which contained spelling errors. Once a domain
name is purchased, you own it. So make sure it is one
that you want and that it is spelled correctly.
Can I change my WebIntellects domain name username?
WebIntellects usernames, once established during the
initial domain name registration process, cannot be changed.
Usernames are the chief identifiers for individual accounts
within the Tucows system, and are associated with the
registrant of a domain name.
I forgot my username and password when I registered
my domain name. What can I do?
We do not keep a record of this. We have no way of knowing
what you used when you registered your domain name. That
is why we stated to write it down when you registered
your domain. If you forgot your username or password you
will need to use the "Retrieve Username and Password"
function from our website. Your username and password
will then be sent to your e-mail address of record. If
you no longer receive mail at that address or if you are
no longer able to check mail there, then you will need
to update your e-mail address. WebIntellects has no access
to do this for security reasons. Chances are you will
need to use this form:
http://resellers.tucows.com/adminforms/adminemailchange.pdf
You registered my domain name when I signed up. What
is my username and password?
Your username and password is the same as your web hosting
account default username and password. If you forgot this,
you will need to contact us requesting this. We will then
send it to the e-mail address on record in the Whois search.
We CAN NOT send it to any other e-mail address.
I want to transfer web hosts. How do I transfer my domain?
To transfer your web site to another host you will need
to go to the Domain Registration homepage and click on
'Manage Domain". Login using your username and password.
Once in, you will need to change the DNS to reflect your
new host addresses. It takes 24 - 72 hours for InterNIC
to update the database.
I no longer have a valid e-mail address of record to
receive e-mails from OpenSRS. What do I do now?
If you have an outdated e-mail address for the admin
contact for your domain name, then WebIntellects is unable
to send you your password or any other information about
your account. You must first update this address. Here
is what OpenSRS requires to be done:
"In order to get the password and username, you'll
need to change the admin email contact. In order to change
the admin email contact, we'll need to see proof of ownership.
Please send a signed fax with photo i.d. stating that
you as owner of the domain authorize/request the change
of the admin email contact. Please factor in the new email
address and the name of the domain(s). As a security measure
the password will *only* be sent to the admin email contact.
Here is the Form: http://resellers.tucows.com/adminforms/adminemailchange.pdf
Please fax this to 416-531-2516 ATTN: OpenSRS Compliance
How are .tv domain names priced?
All .tv domain names are classified as either Premium
or Standard Domain Names. Premium names are generic "dictionary"
words or phrases, such as news.tv, and 1- to 3- character
combinations that carry an annual registration fee between
US$1,000 and US$1.25 million. Standard names are all other
.tv domain names for which customers currently pay US$45
for the first year annual registration fee.
Where did dotTV come from?
.tv is the top level domain indicator (like .edu or .org)
assigned to the country of Tuvalu, a small Pacific Island
nation. Through an agreement with Tuvalu, dotTV became
the exclusive registry and registrar for names in the
.tv domain. Tuvalu plans to use proceeds from the agreement
� a minimum of $4 million per year over the next
ten years � to increase the quality of life for
its approximately 10,000 citizens. Tuvalu is also a significant
minority shareholder in dotTV and has a seat on dotTV's
board.
Are there any differences between how .tv and .cc domain
names and .com domain names work?
No. .tv and .cc domain names function just like .com,
.net and .org names.
Why use a .tv or .cc domain name?
Because of the fact that there are thousands of short,
meaningful, relevant domain names available right now
for .tv and .cc, and you have a wealth of new and compelling
(not to mention marketable) web identities just waiting
to be claimed!
I am transferring my Registrar service to you. How will
I know when it is complete?
There will be two ways to tell. 1) You will be billed
only for successful transfers. With 2 - 4 weeks of the
transfer, you will see a charge from WebIntellects. 2)
You can go
here and type in your domain name. If the
results show "Registrar of Record: TUCOWS, INC."
or "whois.opensrs.net", you will know it is
now with us.
Who is InterNIC?
The InterNIC is an independent organization responsible
for holding the registration and routing of Internet domain
names. Without these people it would be virtually impossible
to maintain a sense of sanity on the Internet.
