1. What is domain name registration? top..
Domain name registration is the term used for purchasing domain name for your website. By purchasing Internet domain name, your web viewers can just type in your domain name (www.domain.com) each time they want visit your site.
2. What domain name should I choose? top..
We recommend that you choose a domain name that corresponds to the content of your website. Choose an easy-to-remember domain name. Make it short and easy. Think on how you want people to remember your Internet address.
3. What are the requirements for domain name registration? top..
The Internic requires a valid email address for domain name registration. We recommend that you choose an email address that you will own for a long time for domain name registration. All domain name email transactions will ONLY be done through your email address you used when you register.
4. Who owns the domain name? top..
Wowrack guarantees that the domain name you register will be under your ownership. We do not take over domain names from our customers. You have the complete rights and control over your domain name.
5. What is the maximum number of characters in a domain name? top..
You can theoretically purchase a very long domain name. However the maximum recommended domain name characters is 22 + TLD (i.e: .com) = 26 characters. Some web browsers, email program and other Internet related application might not recognize domain names with over 22 characters. Beside, you want to keep your domain name as short as possible, right?
6. What are the supported characters in a domain name? top..
Only alphabetic characters A-Z, numeric characters 0-9 and dash (-) are supported in a fully qualified domain name.
7. What nameserver can I use? top..
We offer additional nameserver service for all our domain registration customers free of charge!. You can utilize our nameserver to park your domain name. Please list the nameserver for your domain as:

ns.wowrack.com (Primary)
ns2.wowrack.com (secondary)
8. What is a reseller masked nameserver? top..
We highly respect our resellers' business. A reseller masked nameserver is a service that we offer so that our company's credential won't be revealed when people do a whois to a domain.
9. Can I register international domain names? top..

No. Not at this moment.
11. Can I transfer my domain name to your server? top..
Yes. Transferring domain name is free. However you should know a head of time that there will be a downtime to your site when you do this.
12. How long does new domain registration take to be activated? top..
The time for new domain registration to be activated varies. Usually around 3 days.
13. How long does domain transfer take to be active? top..
Domain name transfer usually depends on Internic. They are the ones that handle the domain transfer process. A normal transfer should not take more than 3 days.
14. I have just registered my domain name with Wowrack. However, my domain name is shown as inactive on the Internet. top..
Don’t panic. This is probably because you have recently register the domain name or transfer the domain name. Please allow 3 days for a new domain name registration and about 24-hours for transferred Domain to propagate.
