The process of registering a domain name is coordinated through an automated process called an "auto-parser." Once we have have submitted a complete and correctly formatted Agreement, your registration request will be processed immediately and you will be notified via e-mail when processing is complete. This generally takes less than 24 hours - with some requests processed in as little as 10 minutes. The time of the last update to the WHOIS database will be noted on the search results page.
Following the registration, updates to the Internet's root name servers are propagated seven days a week at which time the DNS information for the newly registered name becomes visible to the DNS system. Domain names processed prior to 7 p.m.
Eastern Time should be accessible on the Internet the next day assuming that the nameservers listed in the WHOIS database for that domain have the appropriate DNS records.
InterNIC only controls the domain registration and root zone server updates. Unfortunately, it may take some time for domain name updates to propagate throughout the millions of machines on the Internet.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

21. How do I determine the status of my domain name registration ? -

Go to the WHOIS database and type in the domain name you registered. If processing is complete, your query will return your domain name record. If you receive the message: No match for ... , you should check the next day.
The registration of a new domain name is typically processed within 24 hours. Upon completion of the domain name registration, the requestor and technical contact for the primary
name server will receive notification from InterNic, Inc.
Generally new domain name records appear in the WHOIS database within 24 hours after the Domain Name Registration Agreement has been processed.
It is possible that your domain name will be visible in the WHOIS database before your name is visible on the Internet.
For your name to be visible on the Internet, information about your domain name has to be added to the Internet's zone files, a global database of information about domain names
that is updated 7 days a week. All registrations completed before 7:00 p.m. ET will be included in the root server update.
The root zone files are updated 7 days a week. These new domain name records will be visible in the WHOIS database the following day.

22. I have registered a domain name with InterNic. How do I upload my pages? How do I access my e-mail? -

InterNic Registrations Services registers your domain name and if you would like to setup up hosting which is optional please continue to our Hosting Plans.

23. How do I change the DNS information listed as authoritative for my domain name ? -

Often, web hosting companies and ISP's will request that you change the DNS information for your domain name so that they can manage and make necessary zone file modifications for your domain name; i.e., connecting your domain name to a web site they may be hosting for you, or setting your domain name's mail routing options.

In the event that your web hosting company or Internet Service Provider has requested that you change the DNS (Domain Name Server) information currently listed as authoritative for your domain name, you will need to make the changes using one of the following procedures outlined in the paragraphs below:

For .com, .net and .org domain names registered through InternicDomainServices.net, you can use the Domain Modification Form to submit your changes directly to the registry.Once the information is submitted to the registry, please allow 24-72 hours (standard Internet propagation time) for the update to be completed.

The Domain Modification Form can be accessed at:
http://IntenicDomainServices.com
Modification Form

Login to the Domain Modification Form then fill out the neccesary data including the DNS names. You will need to be prepared with the names of the DNS (Domain Name Servers) that you would like listed as authoritative for your domain name - information typically provided by your ISP, web hosting company or network administrator.fill out all the entries, then enter the name of the DNS (Domain Name Servers) below in the form which you intend to have listed as authoritative for your domain name.

Note: In order to edit the DNS (Domain Name Servers) listed as authoritative foryour domain name, you will need to have access to the current email address on file for the domain name to complete a confirmation process set up to ensure that the requested name server change is authorized by the current administrator of the domain name. This confirmation email will be sent to the email address on file for the domain name.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

24. My ISP/Hosting Company asked me to have IntenicDomainServices.com "release"my domain name, What does this mean ? -

When an ISP or web hosting company tells you that InternicDomainServices.net needs to "release" your domain name in order for them to point it to your web site or configure it for email, this basically means that you (the administrative contact listed for the domain name) need to change the DNS (Domain Name Server) information listed as authoritative for your domain name.

In the event that your web hosting company or Internet Service Provider has requested that you change the DNS (Domain Name Server) information currentlylisted as authoritative for your domain name, you will need to make the changes using the Domain Modifications Form listed at:
Modification Form

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

25. Do I need to change my DNS information if I contract web hosting from another company? -

Often, web hosting companies and ISP's will request that you change the DNS information for your domain name so that they can manage and make necessary zone file modifications for your domain name; i.e., connecting your domain name to a web site they may be hosting for you or setting your domain name's mail routing options.In this case ask them the information of the two domain name servers and submit this info via the Domain Modification Form located at:
Modification Form
Internicdomainservices.com/mod.htm

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

26. How long does it take for changes to my DNS information that are submitted through the Domain Modification Form to take effect? -

DNS changes must be confirmed via a link that is emailed to the contact email address on file for the domain name. The link accesses the final step in the confirmation process. Once this confirmation process is completed, it may take up to 72 hours for your DNS changes to be effective across the Internet.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

27. Do I need two name servers before I can register a domain name? -

YES!. The Domain Name Registration Agreement requires that two domain name servers(a primary and secondary) be listed for each domain name. These servers, which have both the software and the data required to resolve domain names to Internet Protocol (IP) numbers, ensure that the registered domain name may be contacted over the Internet. Having two(or more) servers ensure that the domain name is reachable should one name server fail. We use our names servers for the registration.

DO NOT arbitrarily list name servers without the prior authorization of that hosts'maintainer (typically your ISP). Listing the hostname and IP address of a name server without prior authorization will make the domain name unreachable through the Internet. The servers in question will be removed from your domain records and the domain name will subsequently be deactivated.
