Domain Name Registration
What is This?
You must obtain and register a domain name before you can have a website. Domain name registration must be renewed annually. Rafaill & Associates, LLC offers domain name registration through its partner company DMCI Broadband, LLC.
Registering a Domain Name
We Can Do This for You
You will be the owner of the domain name you choose, even if we register the name for you, on your behalf, as part of our services. If we design your website as well as provide the hosting services for it, you will be listed as the owner and we will list ourselves as the technical contact.
Do It Yourself
You may, instead, elect to use any of a number of other registration services and do this on your own. If you do so and we are providing hosting services for you, you must provide us with the technical information with regard to your domain name so that we may point your domain name to your site on our servers. In this case while you will continue to be listed as the domain name owner, we will list ourselves as the technical contact.
I Already Own a Domain Name
If you already own a domain name at the time you contract with us for a new website or for a new design for an existing website, you may continue to be responsible for the annual registration as long as you provide us with the technical information so that we may point your domain name to your site on our servers.
Alternatively you may elect to have us assume the responsibility of the registration on your behalf.
