NetNation, Canada's top-ranked Web host, launched DomainGuard, a domain name add-on that helps prevent the control of a domain name from falling into the wrong hands. DomainGuard costs only $4.95 per domain per year and is available at the official website.
A domain name is the label used to identify your Web site, for example Hostway.com. It usually describes some aspect of your site and is easier for your visitors to remember than your Web address, also known as your IP address.
With the pool of popular and available domain names shrinking, protecting a domain name once it's registered becomes increasingly important. DomainGuard is an additional layer of security, requiring a unique password for access to critical settings.
Once a domain name is registered, it belongs to the person or company that registered it. If you are really interested in having a domain name that is already registered to someone else, you can contact the owner of the domain name to find out if the name is for sale or you can wait for the registration to expire.
When visitors type your domain name into their Web browsers, their request is referred to a nameserver that indicates the physical location (the IP address) of your domain on the Internet. When your site location changes to a new IP address, or when you deploy a new site with a new domain name, nameservers around the world must be notified of the change. This process of notification is referred to as propagation.
NetNation offers a wide range of Web site hosting plans, managed dedicated servers and fully customized configuration solutions in addition to domain names and other online services. With state-of-the-art facilities and best-in-class products and support, NetNation strives to meet its customers' business needs with innovative, creative solutions and a commitment to service.
