1. What is a domain name / web
address?
Your web site name (your-domain.com) directs
visitors to your home page on the Internet. It can
also be used as part of your e-mail address. For

A web address is the familiar, easy to remember
name for computers on the Internet (such as
Domain.com) when you run a domain search. No two
parties can hold the same web site name
simultaneously, yours is completely unique. They
correspond to a series of numbers called Internet
Protocol numbers (IP numbers) that help serve as
routing addresses on the Internet. Domain names are
used generally as a convenient way of locating
information and reaching others on the Internet.
2. What are valid characters
for a domain name ?
Valid characters include letters, numbers, and

Do-main.com (valid)

4.What are POP3 Accounts?
POP3 accounts are email accounts that you can
receive email from your visitors on the Internet.
They allow you to receive email only.POP3 accounts
come with their own username and password to
access them. With POP3 email, you can create a
very well organized site with different POP3
accounts for different areas of your web pages and
you can configure to your Outlook Express
5.What are Email auto
responders?
Email auto responders allow you to setup an email
account with the ability to auto-reply with a
given message when someone sends email to it. It
looks like a pop account. You have probably seen
one when you send email to somewhere and it comes
right back with We got your email or something to
that effect. That was most likely an auto
responder
6.What is DNS?
DNS can be considered something similar to a phone
book. When you move from one location to another,
your name stays the same, but your phone number
may change. In order to point your name to the new
phone number, you must contact the telephone
service provider so they assign you the new phone
number and update all directory information to
reflect you as pointing to this new phone number.
In this way, the IP number can be compared to a
phone number: When someone calls
http://www.example.com/, your ISP looks at the DNS
server, and asks "how do I contact example.com?"
The DNS server responds: "It can be found at
198.105.232.4". As the Internet understands it,
this can be considered the phone number for the
server, which houses the http://www.example.com
web site.
The DNS records for your domain are kept on your
hosting server in the place called DNS zone. When
you register a domain by means of the control
panel, all DNS records are automatically created
for you, but in some rare cases you may need to
add custom records to your DNS zone. An example
would be when you want all email to be processed
by an external mail server rather than by the
built-in mail system. However, such user
intervention requires knowledge of DNS
configuration and clear understanding of what is
to be done.
