Top Domain Name Questions

I want to delegate / redelegate my domain name, what is the process?
Delegation is done at the time of registration wherein you assign your domain name to a designated computer that has domain name hosting capabilities. This enables your domain name to be used as a Web address or email address. Once your domain name is registered and delegated to a host computer, you may choose to change the hosting details. The process of changing the hosting details is referred to as Redelegation. Your Service Provider can provide you assistance with the delegation and redelegation of your domain name.

Where can I see the current registration details for my domain name?
You can view the current registration details for your domain name by using a Whois service. Please note that complete registration details for domain names are only displayed at the registrar of record.

The Whois services refresh at certain intervals (commonly 1-30 minutes), so after completing a registration or submitting modifications to your domain name record, you should wait approximately 30 minutes before checking the Whois records.

Which domain name should I choose?
The domain name you choose should meet 2 key guidelines:

It should be easy for your customers to remember

It should say something about your organisation and protect your online identity

Traditionally organisations have simply used their business name as the basis for their domain name. For example ibm.com and microsoft.com – this is a good place to start. If your organisation's exact name is unavailable, you can always consider abbreviations or acronyms.

What is a Registry Key?
A Registry Key is a password that allows the registrant or an authorised person to perform modifications to the domain name's registration details - it is not a registration confirmation number. Registry Keys are composed of a sequence of characters and are case sensitive – they can include numbers and letters.

Each domain name has a unique Registry Key attached to it. The key provides access to modify both registration and delegation details exclusively for that domain name. Your Registry Key is emailed to you upon completion of a successful registration so you should be sure to keep a record of it.
