 1. Introduction 2. What Is A Domain? 3. Choosing Your Domain Name 4. Information Required To Register A Domain 5. Moving Your Existing Domain To PowerLink 6. Additional Domain Information
Global Identity Domain names are unique. Throughout the world, there can be one and only one wkpowerlink.com, one and only one ubc.ca. Domains are registered and regulated in North America by InterNIC for .com, .net, .org, .edu, and by CA Domain for .ca and provincial domains. Example: Acme Toys Ltd. Let's take a look at a hypothetical BC business, "Acme Toys Ltd." They have customers and suppliers in Canada, the United States, and around the globe. Appropriate domain names for Acme Toys might include acmetoys.com, acme-toys.com, acmetoys.ca, or acme-toys.ca. Other possibilities include acme.com, acme.ca or acme.bc.ca. Why Do I Need A Domain? Increasingly, companies are finding it useful to conduct much of their business over the Internet. Instead of printing, updating, and distributing a product catalogue, establishing an Internet web site can present the same information, which can be continuously updated. Suppliers, customers and potential customers can access the web site quickly and easily from anywhere in the world, at any time. The web site may include order forms to enable customers to submit their orders electronically, tools to enable customers to monitor the status of their orders, an e-mail inquiry capability, and much more. Communication is the key to business. The stronger your company's communication, the more efficiently your business will operate. A domain name will give you an identity that your clients will be able to easily access. Do I Need Technical Knowledge to Register? Though there are some technical requirements involved in registering a domain name, PowerLink can take care of them for you. We will help you understand the process, and make registering your domain as simple as possible.
