How do I make changes to the information on a domain I order from
Monolithic?
We have an online management interface that you can use to modify
all the information relating to your domain name (such as contact
information and nameservers). It
is available here. Bear in mind you'll need your domain's username
and password to make the desired changes. If you don't have a username
and password or have forgotten them, please contact
support.
| Could I choose to host the domain with another company
later? |
Yes. You can always use our management
interface to change your nameservers to those of a new hosting
company.
| What do I need a domain name for anyway? |
A domain name is essentially a signpost on the Internet. Every website
you've ever been to, and every email you've ever composed, has used
a domain name in its address. People register domain names in order
to 'stake a claim' to a particular name -- whether for business or
personal reasons. Once a domain name is registered to a person or
company, it is that person's to use exclusively as long as they continue
to pay the yearly renewal fee.
| How much do domain names cost? |
It depends what kind of domain name you want to register. Our most
common domain names (.com, .net, and .org names) sell for $19/yr,
but we also offer other suffixes, such as .tv, .vc and .ca. Take a
look at our complete domain
suffix list and price sheet here.
| How do I order a domain name? |
We have an online interface you can use to search for and register
domain names. It
can be found here.
| Can I change ownership of my domain after I have registered
it? |
For as long as you pay the renewal fees, you are free to do with your
domain name as you wish. This means you are welcome to sell or give
it to anyone you choose to. You can simply give your username and
password to the new owner, and allow them to change the contact information
using the Domain
Management interface. They should also change the domain's profile
to a new one with a unique username and password.
| What's the difference between .com, .net, .org domain
names? |
Originally, the three letter extensions after the dot (or Top Level
Domain/TLD) were meant to denote whether the domain name was being
used for business (.com) charity/non-profit (.org) or for a technology
based company (.net). However, with the explosion of the Internet
(and specifically, the world wide web) as a new business medium, the
lines were blurred, and companies and individuals alike started cross-registering
domains (ie. Me.com, me.net, me.org) just to protect their interests.
Now, .com, .net, and .org names (the generic Top Level Domains) can
be used for any purpose.
| What's the difference between a ccTLD and a gTLD? |
A gTLD is a generic Top Level Domain. These are top level domains
that are NOT affiliated with any country and can be registered by
anyone for a fee. Currently, these are .com, .net, .org, .biz and
.info. ccTLDs are Country Code Top Level Domains.These are the two
character top level domain names affiliated with various countries
around the world. Many ccTLDs are closed or restricted, requiring
proof of residency in the country in question. Others are not restricted,
and can be purchased much like gTLDs.
Currently, we offer registrations in the .com, .net, .org gTLDs, and
the .co.uk, .org.uk, .tv, .cc, and .ca ccTLDs. To see a complete listing

sales page).
