Domain Name Information

How long does it take to register a domain name ?

As soon as we receive your order, we make an application to the relevant registry to secure the domain name. This takes only minutes. However, because of the volume of applications the registries handle, we must wait at least 24 hours before we can ensure proper registration of your domain name. If, for any reason, the application is not successful, we will contact you.

What is allowed in a domain name ?

The only characters allowed in a domain name are the 26 letters of the alphabet, numbers 0-9 and dashes (-). A domain cannot begin or end with a dash, but it can contain a dash. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) serves as the governing body for domain name registration. ICANN is currently allowing up to 63 characters, but we would recommend you stay below 20 characters. Domain name registration applications may be rejected for reasons other than the above, especially if they are perceived to infringe trademarks or copyright law.

I already have a domain name, can I transfer it to Corkweb.net ?

Yes, when placing your order make sure that you specify that it is a transfer. Corkweb.net do not charge a fee to transfer a domain name. If your web site is active you should keep your old hosting account open for a short time. We will give you an IP number so that you can upload a mirror site onto our servers, ensuring that whilst your domain name is being transferred your site is accessible at all times.

Can you host non UK/Irish and non international domain names  

We can host domain names from anywhere around the world (eg .fr, .it and .ru). We will be happy to provide you with all the information you will need to register a non UK/Irish/international domain name. Please contact info@corkweb.net

What is web hosting ?
