The technical aspect of a domain name
A domain name is your web address, but choosing one can be confusing.
Only Domain Registrars can issue a domain name, and Affordable Web Design Ltd has partnered with a large Domain Registrar out of Vancouver, BC.
Through this affiliation, we facilitate the purchase of a domain name and we look after the technical factors needed to tie into your website.
Domain names have several different "extensions" such as .com, .ca, .net, .org and more. Because of this, there is always the potential that someone else will have a similar name to yours but with a different extension. For instance, you could be www.xyzwidgets.ca, and someone else could be www.xyzwidgets.com.
Therefore the first step to take when choosing a domain name and an extension is to ensure that no competitor with a similar name is in your service area, which could confuse your customers.
Registration/Renewal/Transfer
As part of our "One-Stop-Shop" concept, we partner with a large Canadian Domain Registrar to offer domain name registration and renewal services on a yearly basis. The term of the domain registration can be from one year up to nine years. Most of our clients ask us to register their name for one year, and we ensure that it is renewed the following year.
All domain name registrations are registered in the name of the business owner. We put our contact information on the worldwide directory listing in order to protect our clients from being inundated with spammers and scammers, but the domain is yours!
Although we look after your domain name for you, the actual registry service is provided by our affiliated third party provider, for which we pay out on your behalf and which is non-refundable.
If your domain name is currently with a different registrar, we can help you transfer it to our partner registrar in order to keep everything under one roof. The cost of transfer equals a one-year renewal fee and extends your expiry date by one year.
