Generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs) are general, widely-used domain extensions like .com, .net, or .org that are not tied to any specific country or territory. On the other hand, Country Code Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs) are uniquely assigned to individual countries or territories, such as .uk for the United Kingdom or .ca for Canada. These ccTLDs help signify the geographic location or target audience of a website.

Plus

Certainly! We offer web traffic redirection from one domain to another at no additional cost. You have access to two types of domain redirection options:

  • Move Permanently (Redirect 301): This option redirects visitors to a different site while displaying the destination address. It's beneficial for maintaining your site's search engine rankings during the transition.

Absolutely! We offer complimentary email forwarding for your new domain. This feature allows you to seamlessly redirect incoming emails to an existing email account of your preference, ensuring you don’t miss critical communications.

Do you provide DNS servers?

Yes, we do. A functional domain requires association with at least two DNS servers. If you lack these, we offer them at no extra cost.

Plus
How long does it take for a domain to be registered?

The registration time for a domain varies depending on its extension. While most domain extensions are registered within minutes, others might require more time due to processing delays at the official registry. For domain extensions that necessitate over 24 hours for registration, pertinent information can be found under the "Registration Requirements" link associated with the specific domain extension.

Plus
When can I start using my domain name?

You can begin using your domain name immediately once it is listed as 'Registered' in your account. If the status is 'In Process', please wait until you receive a notification email confirming the registration before initiating any modifications or usage.

Symbols include ® for registered trademarks, TM for trademarks pending registration, and SM for service marks in registration process.

Without registration, defending your trademark can be challenging, and others might conduct business under your name, blurring brand distinction. It’s wise to register trademarks where you operate, even if not actively using them. Countries have varying requirements regarding trademark use and registration priority.

Can I register my domain as a trademark?

Yes, and it's advisable to protect your brand. Domain names, often synonymous with business names like Amazon.com for Amazon.com Inc., can be trademarked. Registering your domain as a trademark safeguards it and prevents others from securing similar domain names. This process is akin to business name registration but at the domain level, with organizations like ICANN overseeing it.

Plus

Each country typically sets its own trademark registration rules and protections. However, there are agreements allowing a single application to register a trademark across multiple jurisdictions. Examples include the European Union Trade Mark (EUTM) used within the EU, and the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property covering Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. The Madrid System simplifies global registration through one application, while organizations like the African Intellectual Property Organization offer regional protections. These arrangements facilitate broader trademark protection for owners conducting business in multiple countries or regions.

Plus
Who is responsible for granting trademark registration?

The responsibility for approving and granting trademark registration typically lies with the national intellectual property office or trademark office in each country. These governmental or quasi-governmental agencies review applications, ensure compliance with legal requirements, and ultimately grant trademark status. Examples include the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in the U.S., the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) in the EU, and similar entities in other countries and regions. For international trademarks, systems like the Madrid Protocol allow for centralized filing and management, but the approval still depends on each jurisdiction's respective office.

Plus

The duration of the trademark registration process can vary significantly depending on the jurisdiction in which you are seeking protection. Generally, it takes several months from the filing of the application to the issuance of the registration certificate.
