Frequently Asked Questions

Network Solutions charges $35, but ValueAddedNames.com charges only $14.95. What is the catch?
There is no catch, just good old open competition in a free market. At one point, Network Solutions had a monopoly on domain name registrations. As more companies have become accredited to offer domain name registration prices have become much more competitive. When you register your domain with ValueAddedNames.com you get the exact same registration you would through any registrar, including Network Solutions, for a fraction of the cost.

Who owns domains registered through ValueAddedNames.com?

What do I get with my registration?
Registering a domain name allows you to use that domain name for the period registered. Your new domain also includes free parking which means the domain is registered with the required 2 default name servers and pointed to a temporary page until you wish to use it. You control your domain and can use the provided web interface to update the name servers, contact details and other settings at any time. You also get free support through our online support system.

What don't I get with my registration?
Domain name registration secures the name for your use. Actually using the domain with web hosting, email or other services is up to you. You are free to use any company you wish for these services. If you don't wish to use your domain immediately after registration it will be parked for free with ValueAddedNames.com until you wish to use it.
