What is a Domain Name?
A Domain Name is an address on the Internet. For example, IT Commerce Inc.'s
Domain is itcommerceusa.com
What is a URL?
A URL, which stands for Uniform Resource
Locator, is your complete Internet address. It is the string of information,
such as http://www.itcommerceusa.com,
that directs people to specific locations on the Internet. In the same way that
an address written on an envelope directs the post-office to deliver a letter
straight to your door, a URL typed into an Internet browser leads directly to
the location of a specific resource on the Internet.
What do
.com, .net, .org...
stand for in an Internet address?
These three extensions—.com,
.net and .org—are top-level domain names in the hierarchical Domain Name System.
They are probably the most popular and most widely recognized top-level domain
names on the Internet. With IT Commerce Inc., you can register any valid, available
domain name you choose within these three top-level domain names.
Here is some information about
the .ws and .tv domains. They are owned by the countries of Western Samoa and
Tuvalu. They sold the rights to use the .ws and .tv as a top-level domain. .ws
and .tv are 100% globally accessible, and they can be viewed by anyone accessing
the internet from anywhere in the world. Additionally, everyone, regardless of
location, has the ability to register/administer .ws and .tv domains.
All
top-level domains and the guidelines by which they function were created 20-25
years ago. Every country was granted one top-level domain with the exception of
the US which was also given the .com, .net, org, .edu, and .mil top-level
domains. While .com is the most popular extension, every top-level domain has
the ability to work in exactly the same way. The true difference between .com
and other top-level domains is purely marketing and exposure. .ws and .tv are alternatives to
.com. If you would like more information, please contact us.
May I use my
own scripts and what is the scope of technical support?
The ability to

customized functionality to your web site. All of our
hosting plans that include a unique IP address have the
ability to run scripts. These scripts must be written in
certain scripting languages and be stored in certain
directories on the server. Our support covers the
functionality of the software required to run the
scripts but does not cover any design or programming
issues.
