2)When i regerster for a domain name are all rights and everything mine ?If you're listed as the registrant, it's yours.

3)What does the company mean by 5 subdomains with the web hosting packageA subdomain is an address like 'subdomain.domain.com'. Usually, it points to a folder on the server in your account.

Thanks alot bear that was mostly all the info i needed was just nervous about the being stolen without me knowing.

How are things working out for you?

Are you about to get the hang of
the domain biz?

Good Luck :wht:

hmm best thing to do is find a reliable host or use a friends host, i use my friends hosting company cause i know he will never screw me over intentionally.

Most of the HOSTS wont do that! Make sure you keep the domain and the hosting separate. Never host the domain with the registrars.

Yeah im new to the hosting biz and thank you for the luck


And its kind of to late i signed up with the same host and domain company:(
