We specialize in Virtual Web Hosting which means that you can
find a home for your web site on our servers which establishes your own presence on the
Internet. We are what is called an Internet Presence Provider. We also
register and obtain your domain name from an affiliate dns registry and provide 24 hour
access to upload material to your account on our servers. This means you can have
your own email at your own domain name instead of an email address of screen-name@aol.com
for example. You can switch ISP's all you want and keep your own domain email the
same for as long as you have your domain name and account. [back

Network Solutions is an independent organization responsible for
holding the registration and routing of Internet domain names ending in .com, .org., and
.net. They allow other registry organizations to register domain names sharing this
ability. Our fee is $25.00 as opposed to many other registry services where payment
of $35.00 or more is required. Our charge of $25.00 per year for new domain name
registrations now replaces any fees paid to Network Solutions before this shared registry
system was in place. [back to top]
We are capable of registering new domain names immediately in
real time provided the name is available. If you are considering a new domain
name please allow us to register it for you. Registering with any other
registration provider and then having us transfer the name will take much longer but is
acceptable. If you are transferring to us AND you or your prior host registered
your name with Network Solutions, they will need your approval before the dns record can
be updated. They do this by sending a notice to the email they have on file for you
when you first registered your name. If you no longer have this email address it can
greatly add to the time it takes for the transfer. You may be required to call or
fax them to handle the verification process. We cannot do this for you since you own
the domain name and we only rent you the space they will point your name to.
If you obtained your name from another registry we can provide you with the name server
information you need for them to point your name to our network. [back to top]
With new domain names it can be as soon as 24 hours.
Usually it's 24 to 48 hours. With transfers it can be considerably longer especially
if problems are encountered. If you are transferring your name, you can upload your
site and hold off approving the notice from Network Solutions or updating your dns with
your original registry until you have finished. You will suffer no down time using
this method but do be aware it can take a few days for all ISP's to receive the updated
information from the whois databases. Some people could go to the old site while
other's go to the new for up to 10 days. [back to

Prentice Internet does not offer web designing services as our
service is geared to those with this knowledge already and is offered self service.
However, we do have several relationships with web page designers and consultants.
We would be happy to put you in contact with one of our recommended designers.
Yes, these names are charged the same as a regular account as
they receive all the same features. The only difference is there would be no
additional dns registration fees with 3rd level domain names. [back to top] |
