Domain name

Question:
What is a domain?
Answer:
A domain is a logical, shorter, and therefore simpler address to your website. An example is www.company.se. The domain is the first step in marketing the website. When registering a domain, it is advantageous to choose a web hotel since we will pay the registration fee!


Question:
Is it possible to order a web hotel package without a domain name?
Answer:
No, we don’t offer web hotels without a domain link.


Question:
What is a registrar?
Answer:
Every top domain is managed by different registrars. For example, the Swedish top domain .SE is managed by the NIC-SE organisation. The registrar’s main function is to keep records of domains and their owners and administrative contacts, as well as set up and maintain rules and regulations. The registrar also manages DNS pointing.


Question:
What is the annual fee and why do I have to pay a fee for the domain?
Answer:
The registrar charges a fee for managing the domain. This is usually paid annually.


Question:
Can I link a subdomain to my web hotel account?
Answer:
Yes, you can link it to a directory in your account or forward the address. This is an optional service.


Question:
Can I link an extra domain to my web hotel account?
Answer:
Yes, you can link it to a subdirectory or forward the domain to another address (domain). This is an optional service as long as you don’t link the domain to the same root directory.


Question:
Who owns the domain I register with you?
Answer:
You always own the domain. There are, however, other irresponsible companies that register domains in their own name. We would warn you against such companies.


Question:
Should I pay the invoice/AP for my domain?
Answer:
Unfortunately, there are many swindlers that send out APs or invoices with more or less misleading information. These swindlers play on people’s lack of knowledge and fear of losing their domains. If you are unsure about whether to pay or not, please contact us.

Here are several companies you should not take seriously:

  • Domain Registry of America
  • Mårtenssons juristfirma
  • Strigo AB
  • Domän Direkt
