About Domain Names

Should I be a Dot Com, a Dot Org or a Dot Gov, or even a Dot Biz or Dot Info?

Domain extensions indicate what and where the owner of a web site or mail address is. Dot Coms and Dot Cos are normally commercial concerns, whilst Dot Orgs are normally for non-commercial organisations, eg charity or not for profit. Dot Govs are for public sector sector concerns only. Dot Biz and Dot Info are amongst the newer Domain Names that are now available at premium cost. Colebridge.Net can quickly advise you on which is best for you.

What if my chosen Domain Name is already taken?

Then, normally, you will need to select another. Sometimes, a Domain Name that is already registered can be purchased from its present owner. If your chosen Domain is not presently being used by those who own it, Colebridge.Net can establish who the present owner is for you.

Is the Domain Name mine for ever once I have registered?

Initial registration is for a two year period. Thereafter you have the option of retaining it, but need to pay for re-registration. Colebridge.Net can manage all of this for you.

I have a Domain Name already, do I have to return to the company that arranged that for me?

No, any one who supplies a domain name has no hold over you, the Domain Registrars are independent and need only to advised formally of a change of supplier through well established processes. Colebridge.Net can advise you how to do this so that we can re-register you, provide you with a web site or provide other services associated with your Domain.

Can I have more than one mailbox with my Domain Name?

Absolutely, having your own Domain gives you great flexibility over mail identities and mail management and Colebridge.Net will be pleased to explain how and why.

But I do not really want my own Domain, do I need one?

No, you can have mailboxes and/or websites with the Colebridge.Net Domain Name and the name will be the only difference.
