For example, you can access the domain name "mydomain.com" by going to "www.mydomain.com" as well as "mydomain.com". Do you offer dial-up internet access? Yes, we have internet access for over 350 U.S. locations. You get a one free PPP connection when you sign up. Do you offer web page design services? Yes we do. Check out  Inteli-Net Interactive. Does Inteli-Net International handle domain registration? Inteli-Net International will register new domain names with InterNIC for you. InterNIC will bill you directly for this service. We do charge $30.00 for registration and we register it in YOUR name. If you have an existing domain we will fill out and send you a modify domain name template to forward to hostmaster@internic.net. When Internic announces the completion of the transfer, there is a 72 hour propagation period where visitors could go to either site. At the end of the 72 hours you should contact the previous host to have them delete the old domain from their records and update their DNS record. If you use this same provider for your Internet access you will not be able to access your domain site at Inteli-Net International until they update their DNS. During the propagation period persons accessing your site will be going to both sites until all are eventually accessing the new site hosted by Inteli-Net International. The process should be seamless Can I transfer an existing domain name to Inteli-Net International? Yes. When placing your order, be sure to specify that you are requesting a transfer and NOT a new domain. You should keep the service at the present site while waiting for Internic to complete the transfer. We will provide you with a temporary IP address so you can mirror the site on our server. All email and web pages will still be accessed from your current site until propagation is complete. How long does it take before my domain name is active? Once the InterNIC announces that your domain name has been registered (or transferred, if applicable), it usually takes about 72-hours before it is active. All internet providers must update their records (DNS tables) to reflect new site locations. This is called propagation. What is the InterNIC fee for domain registration ? The InterNIC charges $70.00 to register a new domain name. This fee covers the first two years. They currently bill at a rate of $35 per year. The InterNIC will send you an invoice via email between 3 weeks to six weeks after the domain is registered. Does Inteli-Net International limit the number of hits I can receive each month? No. Our experience has shown that 300 to 500 MB/month is more than enough data transfer for 90 (+)% of all websites and we use it as a bench mark. Depending on the quantity and size of your files, 1000MB could support many thousands of hits per week. Will I have unlimited access to update my pages ? You have unlimited access via FTP 24-hours a day. As such, you can create and maintain your web pages on your own computer and upload files to your web site at your convenience. How long does it take to set up a new account ? Orders will be configured within 24 hours, and most times will be done the same day. Once an account is set up an activation notice will be sent you via email including a userid, password, and FTP hostname. You can begin uploading files to your new web site immediately. Domain account users will be given a temporary URL to access their site via the web prior to the completion of either domain registration or transfer. How do I place an order ? You can place an order by calling (972)-858-8888 or via fax (972) 858-8889 during normal business hours Monday through Friday between 9:00am and 4:00pm U.S. Central Time.
