A domain is not necessary to host your site with us. You can use what is called a sub-domain. If you use this method, your site can be accessed in the format http://yourname.hostingbyaces.com/. You can replace the word "yourname" with anything you want. A domain looks much more professional for a business site, but is not necessary for a personal site.

It usually takes about 24-72 hours before it is visible to all users of the Internet. All Internet providers must update their records (DNS tables) to reflect new site locations. This process is called propagation.

A domain name is your address on the Internet. It is linked to a numerical address called an IP address (e.g., 211.225.471.38). The Internet uses Internet Protocol (IP) numbers to locate other computers. Internet users would typically have a hard time remembering these long strings of numbers to find sites. Domain names were developed to allow users to name these (IP) addresses with easy to remember names or phrases.

Every entity registered with InterNIC has a NIC handle. You can use the same NIC handle as the contact for several domains. This way, if you make a change to the NIC handle (i.e., the e-mail address), all domains using that NIC handle will be updated as well.

The InterNIC is an independent organization who, until a few years ago, was the only domain name registar. As a result, 90% of all domain names were registered through them. Many other companies can now register domain names. We offer domain name registration at a very competitive price.

If you receive an error when creating sub-domains, open a ticket and request for sub-domains to be enabled.

NOTE: If your domain is not pointing to our nameserver and is still in the progress of been transferred, you CANNOT create sub-domains. You will have to wait until your domain has fully propagated before you can create sub-domains.

Yes, you will be able to access the domain name with or without the 'www.' in front. For example, you can access the domain name "mydomain.com" by going to "www.mydomain.com" as well as "mydomain.com".
