How Do I Register a Non-US Domain?
A "Non-US Domain" is a domain name acquired
outside of
the US (i.e. from an organization other than Network Solutions) and ends in something
other than ".com", ".net", or ".org" (e.g. it might end in
".fr" for France, or ".to" for Japan). Although Web Panache
supports non-US domains, we do not offer registration assistance. You must register
the domain name with the appropriate company within that country.
- Obtain the registration procedures and forms/templates from the company you are
registering through. This is not a required first step, however, we
recommend you at least research the process before ordering a Web Panache account.
- Complete our domain name order form requesting a NEW DOMAIN. In the
"Domain Name" field, be sure to enter the name with the non-us extension (e.g.
myname.fr). This is how we recognize your order as for a non-us domain name. Upon
receipt of your order, we will create your account on our server and send you the IP
address. This allows you to publish immediately. You will also need this IP
address to complete your domain name registration forms.
- Complete and submit the necessary forms or templates provided by the domain name
registration company. Be sure to include the IP address that we provided
and any other applicable information (e.g. names and IP addresses of DNS servers).
Please e-mail
us if
you have any questions.
Many international NICs require that the account be open on
our servers before they will allow the name to be registered. In such a case, you should
allow 36 hours after your account is opened before attempting to register the domain name.
