Domain Registrar Services

(www.yourname.com) is quite simply your “user friendly” address on the Internet. Similar to your business name, your domain name allows people to find and access your online information. Your domain name is associated

with your IP address, much as your business name is associated with your street address.

If someone wants to physically visit your business they may look you up in the yellow pages.

In like manner, to visit your web site one would enter your domain name into their browser, which would then look up your Internet address (or IP Address) on a registered domain name server in a manner similar to you looking up an address in the yellow pages, and send you on your ‘virtual’ way.

Every web site on the Internet, that is virtually hosted, must have a unique IP address, which is provided by your hosting service. If you ever plan to have a professional presence on the Web, you must have a domain name.

Pro-Desk provides full domain name registration services for small businesses and individuals. We will fill out all the necessary paperwork to make the registration of your domain name legal. You have the option to secure your domain name for one, two, five or even ten years for just a one-time fee.

Don’t trust just anyone, Your domain name is important.

Domains can be lost because of registration errors and bad registration practices. Inappropriate applications can result in lengthy ordeals that must be completed before any domain changes can be implemented. Erroneous fillings can cause a simple domain change or transfer to take weeks.

Don’t accept anything less than full control over your domain name.

You own it. You can change it or move it whenever you want - without our permission or involvement. Some domain name registration service providers will list themselves as the only legitimate contact for authorized changes, some will actually register the domain in their name rather than their clients name. In either case, even simple domain changes or transfers can become a pure nightmare and in some cases takes months to resolve.

Don't be overcharged.

Many companies advertise low prices, then tack on extra charges for purported critical add-ons. In many cases, these add-ons cost more than your initial name and are seldom critical or even needed at all. Pro-Desk offers one price for Domain Name Registration services, which includes everything you need to register and start using your domain name.
