| 6 | When does the domain get registered? |
| | |
| | If you are an existing authorised customer your registration will have been processed by our automated system so you should see .uk domains names showing as registered within 30 minutes depending on how busy the Nominet servers are.
If you are a new customer your registrations will be held in pending until we can verify your account information. This is carried out several times per day so you should not have to wait more than an hour or so.
.com domains are all authorised off line. We do this every hour and the domain names usually show as registered on the whois lookup within 24 hours. |

| 7 | What can I do with my domain name? |
| | |
| | 1 You can register it and park it. This will show our home page should anyone look for your domain name.
2 You can add web and email forwarding to it. Remember this is free for the duration of your registration
3 You can register it an host it with us.
4 You can register it and point it at your own domain name servers. This allows you to use hosting facilities provided by other providers. |

| 8 | How much is it to transfer a domain name to you? |
| | |
| | You can transfer a UK domain name to us free of charge.
For International domain names (.com, .net, .org etc.) you will have to pay a renewal fee if you would like it transferring from one registrar to another. This fee is the cost of an additional year to the domains expiration date. |
