Domain Name Guide

Everything you need to know about domain names.

Managing Your Domain Names

More than just a domain name.

Once you become a Register365 customer you’ll have instant access to your Online Control Panel and a unique way to manage your domain names. You can view the status of each of your domains with an icon key. For example, your domain name might be an email only service, or a domain name might be forwarded to another website and/or email address.

You can also add to and update your domain names using the Online Control Panel and review additional products to compliment your registration suite. Through the Control Panel you can create a single web page that can be published to the web for a professional touch.

If you require more technical information regarding your domain name you can access the DNS (Domain Name System) Administration Centre. The DNS is a distributed database that defines the behaviour of every domain on the Internet. Details are stored on name servers in zone files and can be viewed in the Administration center.

Our online back-order service is for domain names that have already been taken. It allows you to be proactive and attempt to acquire a domain name should it expire or otherwise be deleted. We monitor the domain names you would like, if they become available we attempt to register them and if we’re successful, you receive an email from our registrar offering you the domain name.

With so many advantages to registering your domain names with Register365, it’s no wonder that more and more customers are transferring to us. You might be transferring to us to consolidate all your web services in one location or simply take advantage of our web hosting or email plans. Either way, transferring your domain names to us is a strategic decision to safeguard your registrations both short term and long term. Start your domain name search today

Parking Domain Names

Think ahead, park domain names for the future.

Domain name parking is the process of registering a domain name and placing it on hold so that it can be used at a later date. Providers allow customers to ‘park’ an Internet domain by adding the customer's domain name to its Domain Name Service (DNS) to act as the authority for the domain.

This service is well suited to customers who only need to register and secure their domain names, without having an active website homepage in place. The latest estimates predict that over 40,000 names per month are currently being registered. With that in mind, parking a domain name guarantees that when you are ready to build your website, your name will be ready.

Domain name parking is free with all domain purchases. However, all of our domain name registrations include free email and web forwarding, as well as total DNS and nameserver control through our Online Control Panel allowing you to park your domain on existing sites or servers at no extra cost. If you need a full featured mailbox, we also have FreeMail - a completely free email package available with all new domain name registrations.
