1) What is a domain name?

Domain name is a unique name that identifies an Internet site. It allows Domain Name System (DNS) computers to identify the website when Internet users are searching for it. For example: Exabytes.com.my.

2) Why should I get a domain name?

Domain name was needed so that people can find the site on the World Wide Web quickly and easily. Register domains to protect them from cyber-squatting or unauthorized use.

3) What are the common requirements to register a domain name?

    * Domain names can only contain characters from A to Z, 0 – 9;
    * Domain names may contain “hyphen/-” but may not begin or end with a hyphen;
    * Spaces and special characters, such as question marks (?), exclamation points (!), and underscores (_) are never permitted;
    * All domains must have at least 2 name servers and IPs listed at all times;
    * Domain name cannot have hyphens as the 3rd and 4th characters (reserved for multilingual domain registration eg: xn--example.com)

4) How do I determine whether the domain name is available or not?

You may try who.is or whois.com

5) If I have registered a wrong domain name through Exabytes, what should I do?

The registration fee is non-refundable. You shall be the owner of the domain for the fiscal year. You may need to re-register for the right domain name by submitting your domain registration order again.
