Who
keeps the millions of domain names organized?
Registrars
and InterNic
(InterNIC is a registered service mark of the U.S. Department
of Commerce).
When someone wants to get to your site they enter your domain
name into the address bar in their browser or click on a link,
a signal is sent to InterNic telling them you want to go there,
they respond by looking up your domain name and what webserver
your domain resides on and then transfers them to your site.
This is all usually done in milliseconds. Voila, they are
at your site. It is like telephone number information that
makes the call for after they lookup the number, at no charge.
A Registrar charges you an annual fee to keep your domain
name active and secure. There is no set fee. Different Registrars
charge different annual amounts. We endorse Network
Solutions.
HostHarbour
handles new domain name registration for new sign-ups.
