Domain Name Help

How do I register a new domain name?
If you wish to register the domain but not use it immediately, go to our registration center to register your domain. We will park it for you on our servers ready for use when you want to use it with one of our web hosting plans.

How do I modify an existing domain name to work with TrustHosts?
We can help you with this. For most domains that were registered through Network Solution, we will complete the transfer for you automatically. For domains registered through the newer independent registrars, we will advise on individual procedures.

How can I check if the domain I want is available?
You can use our Domain Checking Facility.

What are valid characters for a domain name, and how long can it be?
The only valid characters for a domain name are letters, numbers and a hyphen "-". Other special characters like the underscore "_" or an exclamation mark "!" are NOT permitted.

A domain name can be up to 67 characters long -- including the 4 characters used to identify the Top Level Domain
(.NET, .COM, .ORG, or .EDU - others are now available).

example.com is a valid domain name (11 characters)

http://www.example.com is not a domain name, it is a uniform resource locator (URL) used by Web browsers to find documents and resources.

www.example.com is not a domain name, is the name of one computer in the example.com domain.

How long does it take to register a new domain?
It takes under 24 hours from the time your payment is received.
