Q. What
is a URL?
A. A
URL, which stands for Uniform Resource Locator, is your complete
Internet address. It is the string of information, such as http://www.DataGanjBakhsh.com,
that directs people to specific locations on the Internet. In the
same way that an address written on an envelope directs the
post-office to deliver a letter straight to your door, a URL typed
into an Internet browser leads directly to the location of a
specific resource on the Internet.
TOP
Q. What
is a domain name?
A. A
domain name, signifies your own address on the Internet. As no two
parties may ever hold the same domain name at the same time, it is a
truly unique identifier of you or your company. It is how your
customers will remember you and find you among the millions of other
Web sites on the Internet.
TOP
Q. How
long can my domain name be?
A. At
PakEagle.com Web Hosting Service
you can have
a name that is 63 characters long not including the .com or .net extension.
Therefore the root of the word can be 63 characters.
TOP
Q. What
do .com, .net and .org stand for in an Internet address?
A. These
three extensions-.com, .net and .org-are top-level domain names
in the hierarchical Domain Name System. They are probably the most
popular and most widely recognized top-level domain names on the
Internet. With PakEagle.com
Web Hosting Service,
you can register any valid, available domain name you choose within
these three top-level domain names.
TOP
Q. Are
.com, .net and .org my only choices when registering a domain name?
A. PakEagle.com
Web Hosting Service
currently registers domain names ending in .com, .net, .org, *.uk
and *.pk. As other extensions become more widely used on the
Internet, we will offer those to our customers as well. We'll keep
you posted through updates on our home page.
TOP
Q. What
is a name server?
A. Computers
read Internet addresses through a series of numbers called Internet
Protocol (IP) numbers. Because these numbers would be difficult for
people to remember, user-friendly Internet addresses were developed
using combinations of words and numbers. A name server is a computer
that has the capability to translate, or resolve, the domain names
we see and use in our browser windows into IP numbers. Example:
PakEagle.com
is how people commonly remember and reach
our Web site, but a name server translates these letters into the IP
number any time a computer is directed to our site.
TOP
Q. Who
should register a domain name?
A. Anyone
who wants to establish a presence on the Internet or wants to secure
the name.
TOP
Q. I
don't have a Web site, can I still register a domain name?
A. Yes.
You can register a domain name at any time and start your online
identity.
TOP
Q. What
are the rules for registering a domain name?
A. Only
a few rules must be followed when registering your domain name:
-
Your domain name
must always begin and end with either a letter or number.
-
Your domain name
may not exceed 63 characters. This does not include the .com,
.net or .org extension at the end.
-
Hyphens are the
only acceptable non-letter/number character to include in your
domain name. Other characters, such as exclamation points and
underscores, are not permitted.
-
Don't worry about
upper and lower case letters-domain names are not case
sensitive.
TOP
Q. What
if the domain name I want isn't available?
A. If
you search for the availability of a name on
PakEagle.com Web Hosting Service
and it is not available, it means that someone else has already
registered that domain name.
PakEagle.com Web Hosting Service
can only register domain names that are available.
TOP
Q. I've
decided to register my domain name. What's my next step?
A. Once
you have your domain name registered, your next step should be to
find an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or a Web hosting company. If
you need help finding one, please check
PakEagle.com Web Hosting Service's
home page to see a list of our partners. When you have the pages of
your Web site developed, the ISP or hosting company can help you get
them up and running on the Internet.
TOP

I have registered a domain name, where will it go?
A. Once

until you change the name server by signing up for service with a
Web hosting company or an Internet service provider. The company
that you choose as your ISP or Web host will then work with you to
transfer the domain name to your virtual server.
TOP
Q. Who
owns the domain name?

TOP
Q. How
do I renew my domain name registration?
A. When
your domain name registration comes up for renewal, we will send an
e-mail to the person listed as the billing contact for that domain
name. That person will have 30 days to renew the domain name’s
registration. Following the expiration date, we will continue to
hold the name as registered for a grace period of 30 days. During
this time, a second e-mail will be sent to both the domain owner and
billing contact. If there is still no response after the grace
period, the domain name will expire and become available for
registration by other parties.
Eventually we plan on incorporating a renewals section within the
accounts pages. This will allow our customers to renew their
registrations automatically themselves. Coming soon!

and I need to change my domain name configuration?
A. Then
you should send an email to domains@pakeagle.com , let them know you

call the Owner's phone number to provide the correct log-in
information. Customer
Support will then make the appropriate change and email that address
with the correct log-in information.

Q. Can
Domain Wizard help me find a domain name that is available?
A. Yes.
We know it's a frustrating experience finding out that your first
name choice isn't available. That's why
PakEagle.com Web Hosting Service
offers you Domain Name Wizard,
an easy way to search for an alternate domain name. Domain Name wizard's
thesaurus feature allows you to find creative synonyms to your
original name choice. And if you really want to find a creative
name, just enter three words into the appropriate spaces on the
screen. Domain Wizard will go to work concocting different
combinations of the entered words and whip up all kinds of unique
name combinations for you to consider. Enter your names into
the appropriate field, wait a few seconds, and Domain Wizard will
tell you which names are available of all the names you checked.
TOP
Q. What
is 'WhoIs'?
A. The
'WhoIs' feature is a search engine connected to a database of
domains registered through
PakEagle.com Web Hosting Service.
When you type in a domain name, if the company registered through
PakEagle.com Web Hosting Service
it will list the company that the name is registered under, mailing
address, phone number, server information, etc.
TOP
Q. What
is the difference between the WhoIs search and Domain Wizard?
A. A
WhoIs search allows you to enter any domain name registered by
Us

records for a particular domain name. Domain Wizard, as described
above, searches for domain name availability and helps you create
alternate domain names if the one you want is already taken.
