.KW Domain General FAQ Kuwait FAQ - What is a domain name?
- Computers connected to the Internet have unique numerical addresses so that electronic information is delivered to the right place. The domain name system (DNS) translates the numerical addresses of computers into more user-friendly names. The resulting domain names are easier to remember and help people to find information on the Internet.
* Domain names are used to identify particular web pages. For example, in the web site address "www.101domain.com" the domain name is 101domain.com."
* Domain names are also used in e-mail addresses, for example, domains@101domain.com, that enable people to send and receive electronic messages.
- Can I take my Domain Name with me when I move to another ISP?
- Absolutely. If the Domain Name is allocated to your name, then you are free to move from one ISP to another along with your Domain Name (in order to do so, you must inform 101domain and simply send the new information to the new local main ISP).
- Is there a discount if more than say 10 domains are registered ?
- No.
- How do I transfer my domain name to someone else (another holder)?
- If you want to transfer your domain name to another person or organization, contact 101domain immediately and follow these steps: For Current Holder, print your request on your business letter head with signature same as original when domain was first registered.
For New Holder, fill out a registration form, select transfer, and include information for the New Holder. (The rest is similar to new domain registration).
- Can I tell when my domain name will expire?
- Yes. You can check one of many Whois applications that will give you detailed information about your domain name including the expiration date.
- I have just registered a Domain Name. Is it my property?
- Legally speaking, Domain Names are not considered as property. The registration of a Domain Name is a service, given by the Domain Name registry. This service gives the registered holder permission to use the registered name on the Internet for a specified period of time.
- If I have mydomain.org why cant I get mydomain.org.kw ?
- Domain Registration procedures/rules/laws differ from one country to another. There is no one rule that applies for all. For example .org.kw is for non-profit organizations in Kuwait, and having a similar domain in some other Top Level Domain does not imply that you are entitled to that same domain under .kw Top Level Domain.
- Can I register a domain under .kw and point it to my already existing site ou side Kuwait?
- Yes you can.
