Conduct a Whois Domain name search and obtain the information about the current registrant. All ICANN-accredited Registrars follow a uniform dispute resolution policy.

Under that policy, disputes over entitlement to a domain name registration are ordinarily resolved by an expedited administrative procedure (called arbitration) to allow the dispute to be resolved without the cost and delays often encountered in court litigation.

In these cases, you can invoke the administrative procedure by filing a complaint with one of the dispute-resolution service providers listed at http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp.htm

Windows Hosting is hosting account that uses windows as their server platform that allows for software such as MS FrontPage, ColdFusion and MSSQL. Windows Hosting is a popular choice among programmes requiring ASP and MS SQL for their work.

Active Server Pages, introduced by Microsoft in the mid-1990s, is a scripting language designed to be embedded within the HTML code for Web pages. This is the standard programming system for Internet applications hosted on Windows servers.

With ASP, you can combine HTML pages, script commands, and COM components to create interactive Web pages or powerful Web-based applications, which are easy to develop and modify.

There’s no definite answer to this question. It’s what you need to do with your site that leads you to the type of hosting. If you want the tightest security then Unix is probably for you. If you’re looking for compatibility with all of Microsoft’s products, then Windows is the best for you. If you opt to use PHP to power your website, then you’ll want to go with Unix hosting.

Between Windows and Unix server, there is no difference in terms of ease of use and speed.

A. A domain name (such as Hostingchecker.com) is the text name corresponding to the numeric IP address of a computer on the Internet.

A. A top-level domain (TLD) is the last part of an Internet domain name. For example, in the domain name hostingchecker.com, the top-level domain is com(or COM, as domain names are not case-sensitive).

A. Domain parking simply means a Domain Name holder has not identified or does not know the IP addresses of the servers that will host his or her web site and wishes to reserve the name for later use.

A. Name servers are the Internet’s equivalent to a phone book. A name server maintains a directory of domain names and matching IP addresses. When your domain is set up, information about your domain name is added to the name servers.

It usually takes about 48 hours before name servers on other networks will be able to access the information after the Central Registry gets it. This 48-hour period is referred to as propagation.

A. This refers to the name server computers where the record of your domain name is held. This is needed to register a domain name.

A. Anyone may purchase a domain name in the .com, .net, and .org extensions. They are generic Top Level Domains (gTLD’s) which are open to public registration.

The best way to brand your online identity is to purchase a domain name in all three; .com, .net and .org. All domains are available for registration by internet users across the globe. If the .com is not available tho, you can safely choose a .net or .org or some of the new domain extensions. They all work, and an example is thetoy.org and their remote vibrator page.
