Get a Domain Name � It's the first step in building an online presence.
Domain name registration
To create a web site or custom email address, you first need a domain name. A domain name, such as widget-designs.com, functions as your address on the Internet, just as 1234 Main Street serves as the address for your home.
Most people choose a domain name that reflects their business or organization name or personal interests. You should try to come up with a unique and concise name that is easy to say, remember, and spell. But don't worry, we have tools that will inspire your creativity or suggest names if you're stuck.
When you register a domain name, you can choose from an assortment of web address extensions, including .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz and .us. You can purchase just one, or return to purchase the rest later to protect your domain name from competitors.
Yahoo! Domains allows you to register a domain name for up to 5 years and offers all of the major domain name extensions at affordable prices. Here is a complete list of available extensions and their requirements.
Customer Care
When you register your domain name, you'll automatically get 24-hour toll-free customer support. You'll gain access to a team of dedicated specialists available to answer questions or guide you through processes whenever you need help at no extra charge.
Domain Forwarding
If you already own a web site, our forwarding tool lets you point your new domain name to your existing site. This way, when web surfers type in www.your-new-domain.com, they'll automatically see your existing web site. Using domain forwarding is handy when you own multiple domain names and want to point them all to the same web site. You can also choose to use the masked forwarding option that includes a Yahoo! banner ad.
Control Panel and DNS Management
Yahoo! Domains has an easy-to-use control panel that enables you to manage all aspects of your domain name. Experienced users can take advantage of full DNS Management capabilities and easily edit MX, A and CNAME records.
Email Forwarding
Email Forwarding allows messages addressed to your new domain name to be delivered to a free Yahoo! Mail account (e.g. you@yahoo.com). You can set up the "catch-all" feature to forward anything addressed to your domain, or designate a specific address you wish to forward (like bob@widget-designs.com).
Please realize that this is only e-mail forwarding. If you try to reply to a message, the email address shown in "reply from" will be the address for your Yahoo! Mail account. To reply using your new domain name address (like bob@widget-designs.com), you'll need to upgrade to Custom Mailbox.
Private Domain Registration
Did you know that anyone � including spammers and telemarketers � can find your contact information just by looking up your domain name online?
That's right. The Internet's governing body, ICANN, requires that every domain owner's name and contact information be listed in an online database. Unfortunately, many solicitors regularly go through this database to gather contacts for marketing campaigns.
Now you can keep your contact information out of the public eye using Yahoo! Private Domain Registration.
How Does Private Domain Registration Work?
* When you sign up, our partner Melbourne IT updates your registration listing with generic contact information that points to Melbourne IT's offices.
* Whenever someone looks up your domain and tries to contact you, Melbourne IT receives the call, email, or letter and screens the information on your behalf.
* Melbourne IT forwards prescreened communications to you, so you can reply as you see fit.
