Our name service covers a number of items which are required to
ensure continued, reliable and efficient service of a Domain
Name.
 |
Firstly, registration fees.
We pay all statutory fees required by the Registry.
However, this is only the first part of what's needed to maintain
service on a Domain Name. Think of this as the equivalent of the licence
fee you pay for your car... it allows you to use the car on the
road... but you still need to put tyres on it and fill the tank if
you want to use the car. |
 |
Second, DNS Name servers.
We as the Domain Name registrar, provider or agent, are
legally obliged on your behalf to provide and continue to maintain
two separate Name Servers at two separate locations directly
connected to the Internet 24 hours a day/365 days per year. The
purpose of these Name Servers is to accept any and every call on
your Domain Name and route it accordingly - to a Web Site if its a
web call, or to an active mail server if its an E-mail message.
The details of the route to these Name Servers together with their
access details as they apply to your Domain Name are then
published right across a global network of Internet Service
Providers.
Whilst our obligation is to provide and continue to maintain two
Name Servers, for enhanced security we actually establish three . |
 |
Thirdly, E-mail Routing.
We route all E-mail attached to any prefix on your Domain Name,
and deliver it instantly and transparently to the ISP mailbox
destinations required by you. |
 |
Fourthly, Website Access. http://
access, ftp:// access
Where required - which is generally the case for all Domain
Names, we handle all traffic that passes through a domain name
in search of a website associated with that domain. Generally
that relates to ensuring the serving of a website when requests
are made through a name server handling a domain name.
|
 |
Fifthly, Security.
Our main name servers are located and managed to ensure as far as
possible that your Domain Name is secured from intrusion, theft,
unauthorised access, and "hacking". Additionally, in
this day and age, widespread risk from acts of terror is a reality
and we have located our systems in "non-vulnerable
locations" and arranged telecommunications connections via
three different suppliers in parallel to ensure the best available
service.
We list here a number of security features:
 |
High Speed Server hosting from brand new, highly specified
Name Servers located in mid-continental USA, right on the backbone of the
Internet |
 |
Non-redundant routing using different telecommunications
suppliers to three separate geographically diverse points of
access to the Internet |
 |
Physically secure Name Server and Web Server site |
 |
Minimum risk area with no history of significant natural
disaster and limited terrorist threat |
 |
24 hour security personnel |
 |
Hourly and daily data back-up |
 |
Uninterruptible power supply |
 |
24 hours battery back-up |
 |
7 days minimum generator fuel on site |
|
 |
Fee Comparison:
We continue to monitor the actual fees charged by our major
competitors and have found in most instances that 12 months Name
Service supplied by Webmarkworld costs less than the equivalent
elsewhere. |
