General Questions     What's the difference between .com, .net, .org domain names?      Originally, the three letter extensions after the dot (the "Top Level Domain") were meant to denote whether the domain name was being used for a business (.com), a charity/non-profit (.org) or an Internet infrastructure company (.net). However, with the explosion of the Internet (and specifically, the World Wide Web) as a new business medium, the lines were blurred, and companies and individuals alike started cross-registering domains (ie. mydomain.com, mydomain.net, mydomain.org) just to protect their interests. Now, .com, .net, and .org names can be used for any purpose. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Transfers     My domain doesn't expire for 4 months. Will I lose that time if I transfer?      No. When you transfer your domain, we add one year to the expiration at our current pricing. So your domain will now expire in 16 months. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
