What is virtual domain hosting?
Domain hosting is having your site (www.yourname.com) hosted by a server and thus
publishing your site to the internet.
How do I register my domain name and how much will it cost?
To register your domain, you will need to
contact a ICAAN registrar and register your domain with them online.
If you do register your
own domain name, use the following DNS Server information found on
this page.
Will Virginia Hosting help register my domain name?
Yes, we will be more than happy to register your
domain for you. One of the advantages to having virginiahost.com

ever year. This way, you don't have to worry about loosing your
domain name or your web site stop responding because it has expired
and placed in an "on-hold" status.
What if I already have a domain with another
provider and want to host with Virginia Hosting?
You can transfer your domain to servers. Since there are
multiple providers for obtaining domains, we will contact you with the
specifics on getting your domain updated. There are no fees associated with assisting you in
transferring your

How quickly
can my account be setup?
Usually if a domain is registered and submitted before 5pm then it is possible to
have your site working the very next morning. Domain transfers take a bit longer but
usually happen within 2-4 days.
What is domain parking and can I "park" my domain name at
Virginia Hosting?
Domain parking is a way of reserving your name without having to build a
web site. The latest estimates predict that over 8,000 names/month are currently
being registered. With that in mind, parking your name guarantees that when you are
ready to build your web site, your name will be ready as well. If you have questions,
please feel free to call us and we will be happy to step you through the process.
