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.
I know of other folks paying $35 for domains. Can they save money
too?
Of course they can! Every day many people discover ValueAddedNames.com
through recommendations from friends and associates. Use our Tell-A-Friend
feature to let people know about ValueAddedNames.com's $14.95 domains.
Who owns domains registered through ValueAddedNames.com?
You, as the purchaser, are set as the official registrant for the domain
using the information you enter during the registration process. This
information is used for the administrative, technical, and billing contacts
for the domain. ValueAddedNames.com does not own or control your domain.
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.
I have domains with Network Solutions and other Registrars. Can
I switch them over to ValueAddedNames.com?
Yes, you can use our transfer option to move your domains to ValueAddedNames.com.
Your domain service will not be interrupted. You will be charged $14.95
per domain and will get a full year added to the current expiration
date of your domain(s). You can use our bulk transfer option if you
have a number of domains you wish to transfer at once. The domain transfer
