Domain Name Questions

  Will I be able to access my domain name with or without the 'www.'?
Yes, you will be able to access the domain name with or without the 'www.' in front. For example, you can access the domain name "mydomain.com" by going to "www.mydomain.com" as well as "mydomain.com".
  How do I transfer my domain name to GetaHostNow.com?
You should contact your registrar or update the nameservers yourself as follows:
Primary Nameserver: ns1.getahostnow.com
Primary IP: 66.205.217.54
Secondary Nameserver: ns2.getahostnow.com
Secondary IP: 66.205.217.55
  How long does it take before my domain name is active?
It usually takes about 24-72 hours before it is visible to all users of the Internet. All Internet providers must update their records (DNS tables) to reflect new site locations. This process is called propagation.
  What is a domain name?
A domain name is your address on the Internet. It is linked to a numerical address called an IP address (e.g., 211.225.471.38). The Internet uses Internet Protocol (IP) numbers to locate other computers. Internet users would typically have a hard time remembering these long strings of numbers to find sites. Domain names were developed to allow users to name these (IP) addresses with easy to remember names or phrases.
  What are your Primary and Secondary DNS numbers?
Primary Nameserver: ns1.getahostnow.com
Primary IP: 66.205.217.54
Secondary Nameserver: ns2.getahostnow.com
Secondary IP: 66.205.217.55
