You may optionally register
a new domain name with UPOINT at USD30.00 for a 2-year period. You may
use your existing domain name if you already have one. The Primary and Secondary nameservers/IP addresses
for your hosting account are:

How can I register non U.S. domain names
(.uk,
.se, .ca, etc)? UPOINT requires non U.S. domain registration to be
completed by the owner of the domain. Please
contact
our technical support staff for information that you
will need when registering.

registration? New .com/.net/.org/.biz/.info domain name

additional year is $15.00.

Do I have to pay the domain name registration
fee? Yes. Anyone who
registers a new domain name with a .com, .net, .org,
.biz and .info
extension MUST pay this fee.

How
long does it take for the world to access my domain name? We, of course,
will setup your domain name instantly. However, it truly
depends on ALL networks and ISPs of the world to update
their servers and lookup your new domain name. Some
popular dial-up ISPs (i.e. Earthlink, Slip.Net, Sprynet,
Grid.Net) take less than 6 hours to update their
servers, while others will take more than 3 days. So if
you are still using a dial-up connection to the
Internet, make sure you have a reliable ISP that
promptly
updates its DNS servers, so you can access
yourdomain.com right away.

How do I transfer an existing domain to your
server? Usually you can do it yourself at your domain registrar's website. What
you have to do is simply change your Primary and Secondary nameservers info. Please note that
you do not need to transfer the registrar. Please contact us if you want
us to do it for you.
Primary nameserver: ns1.updinetwork.com (75.125.242.114)
Secondary nameserver:ns2.updinetwork.com (75.125.242.115)
