What is domain propagation?
When a visitor types your domain name into
their Web browser, their request is referred
to a nameserver that indicates the physical
location (the IP address) of your domain on
the Internet. When your site location changes
to a new IP address, or when a new domain name
is added, nameservers around the world must
be notified of the change. This process is referred
to as propagation.
Propagation normally requires 24-48 hours.
During this period, if you are transferring
your domain, some nameservers will refer to
the old location of your site and some to the
new location. Therefore, a visitor accessing
your site may be directed to either the old
or new location. It is usually best to keep
your previous hosting company until your transfer
is verified as having taken place.
How do I register a domain name and web
hosting with Website Source Hosting?
Website Source will register your domain name
through an ICANN accredited Domain Registrar
for $7.95 per year. This is a
savings of $40 over the Network Solutions rate
that most hosting companies use!Just complete the Hosting
Order Form (just check the box that says "New Domain" and we will register
your domain name and setup your hosting account
instantly!).
Can I register a domain name if I am not
ready to sign up for hosting yet?
Yes. We can register your domain name and you
can set up a hosting account later. And, we
will point your domain name to Website Source Hosting servers so
that when you sign up for hosting, your new
domain name will be ready to use. (No transfer
will be necessary.) Register a .com, .net or
.org domain name up to 67 characters total for
1-10 years.
To
register your domain name without a hosting
account just type in your domain name (in the
blue rectangle that says "Domain Name Registration")
on our Domain's page.

Please see Website Source Hosting Online Documentation page here.
Can I register a domain
with Website Source Hosting, but have the domain point
to alternate nameservers?
Yes, you can make
changes to your domain name here.
Do I need to pay attention
to my domain registration's expiration date
and ensure it is kept current?
Yes. It is your responsibility to verify that
the registration of your domain name is complete.
And, then the domain name registration comes
up for renewal, the Domain Name Registration
Company ordinarily will email the contact for
your domain to remind you it will soon expire.
If you do not keep your domain name's registration
current, then the domain registration will expire
and the domain would then become available for
others to register. It is your responsibility
to be certain that you keep your domain name
registered. You
can check the expiration date of your domain's
registration here.
I renewed my domain name through this web
site, but now I have questions. Where can I
find answers?

page for answers relating to a Transfer
of Registrar or Renewal.
Want to park a new domain
under your existing account?
Just order your new domain on the domains
page (in the blue rectangle that says "Domain
Name Registration"), then contact tech
support at: helpdesk.websitesource.com
and and tell us your Account Domain Name and
the new Domain Name. We will park your newly
registered Domain for free.
What is a parked domain?
Parked domains are not separate accounts, they
are merely pointers to an existing web site
rental account. Parked domains do not have their
own IP address, SEPERATE EMAIL ADDRESSES or
their own control panel.
I changed my mind about
the domain name that I registered. Is it too
late to change it?
Once you register a domain name, you cannot
"un-register" it. If you find that the domain
name you chose no longer suits your business
or personal needs, you should register another
domain name. The domain name you originally
registered will continue to be registered to
you until the end of the registration period.
Registration and re-registration fees are non-refundable.
