1. How
much does each registration cost?
Prices are currently $30.00 US per U.S. registration per year.
2. Are
there any additional charges beyond the $30.00 per year, per
registration fee?
The $30.00 fee is the only
one. You need not purchase any other services from domainkit.com
3. How
can this be so affordable?
With the opening of domain registrations to many companies, and ICANN
accrediting multiple registrars, there is greater competition for the
business of registering and renewing your domain. More
competition results in pressure to provide the best services at the
lowest possible prices. You benefit from this competition by
being able to register your domain at reduced fees. Current policies put into place by ICANN and agreed to by Network
Solutions have opened up domain name registration services to many
companies.. Essentially, by partnering with OpenSRS, domainkit.com is
able to offer these discounted domain registration services.
4. What
Top Level Domain's will domainkit.com offer?
domainkit.com only covers .com, .net and .org registrations.
5. Is
there any limit to how many years can be pre-paid in advance for a
registration?
You can register and renew domain names for terms of one to ten years.
6. Who
is responsible for maintaining the domainkit.com databases?
Network Solutions Registry is still responsible for maintaining the "A" Root server and the publication of the relevant zone
files. OpenSRS is responsible for maintaining the Whois service for
all registrations made through domainkit.com.
7. How
does OpenSRS deal with domain hijacking and other related security
issues?
OpenSRS authenticates all transactions between the client and server,
as well as between the registrant and the OpenSRS client. We feel that
the processes in place to ensure that the verification of identities
is in most ways superior to the vast majority of registrant
identification and authentication procedures in place today.
8. Will
modifications and transfers be allowed ?
Yes. The client software is designed to allow for complete transfers
and modification of the domain record.
9. What
is the dispute policy?
The ICANN Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy as found at http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp.html.
10. What
methods of payment will be accepted ?
Please see pricing and payment information pages.
11. If
I change my registrar to domainkit.com will I lose the time I have
paid for with another registrar?
No, any time you have paid for already will be transferred. That
means that if you have one year and three months remaining on your
current registration and transfer your domain to domainkit.com for
registration purposes you will still have your one year and three
months. Should you choose to purchase renewals for two
additional years then you would have three years and three months on
your current registration.
12. Do
I have to host my domain with domainkit.com or have my web site
designed by domainkit.com?
No you are not required to use domainkit.com for any other services
