Additional Domain Names and Machine Names
You can have additional domain names
(eg: domain2.com) or "machine" names (eg:
name.domain.com) point to your existing Webii web site hosting account. This is an excellent way
to increase your visibility and bring more visitors to your site!
For example, Joe has a web site called joesgreatproducts.com and also wants to use another domain name
about his featured clothing products joesclothingproducts.com.
He can create a subdirectory called /clothing and include a special
index page inside that directory about the clothing. Then,
with Webii's domain pointer services, he can "point" the second domain
name directly to that subfolder - when a shopper types in
www.joesclothingproducts.com they will see his special clothing
homepage!
To request an additional domain name for
your account, please email us at sales@webii.net with the following information:
- The domain name that you want to use for your Domain Pointer.
- The domain name of your primary hosting account that this Pointer will direct to.
- Please tell us if you want the Domain Pointer to direct to the main homepage in /htdocs, or if you want to have it pointed to a specific subfolder.
- Please tell us if you need email forwarding/aliases for the Domain Pointer.
MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE "DOMAIN
POINTER" SERVICE
- This service is only available for existing Webii.net customers.
We can only point a domain name to an existing web site on one of
our servers.
- Webii.net will charge you a $25 setup fee and $8 monthly fee
for each additional domain name or machine name. (Some hosting
accounts include free domain pointer services!)
- For domain "parking" services
(domain names that you point to the same home directory/homepage),
there is a $25 setup fee and no monthly fee.
- SiteReserve.com, a
division of Webii.net, will register a new domain name for a fee of $35 for 2 years. If
you are registering a domain name with your pointer service, the setup fee will be $25
plus $35 to cover registration costs, and you will be responsible for updating
registration fees at appropriate renewal times. If you are transferring an existing domain
name for use with this service, the setup fee will be $25 only.
- Please note that the information sent to InterNIC will be
taken from the information which we have on file in User Profile
section of your control panel for the account your are adding the
pointer to. After the domain name is registered, you can login to
access the domain name whois record and update the contact
information on file if you wish.
- If you are using an existing domain
name that you already registered for this pointer, you will need to
make some modifications to the "nameservers" in the domain name
record for it to properly point to your account. If you do not have
our nameserver information, we can email it to you.
- If you are requesting a non-U.S. InterNIC
domain name as a pointer (not a .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, or
.us) you will be required to register the domain name with the
appropriate registrar for that type of top-level domain. We do not register these type of domain names,
but we can still provide hosting and pointer services for them. If you have
questions about registering a non-U.S. domain name, please refer to our questionaire at: http://www.webii.net/support/non-us.html or email sales@webii.com
- Additional domains are not new accounts, they are merely pointers to an existing web
site account, and do not include a unique IP address or its own account control panel or email
services. You can add email forwarding for additional fees, please ask us about this.
- There are no separate usage
statistics generated for additional domains.
Since additional domain names merely point to your account (just as your
original domain name does), statistics are only generated for accesses to your
account; there is no distinction made as to which domain name people used
to get to your account.
