Other Registrars
There are other registrars out there besides Network Solutions. For example, Register.com is a popular one. They charge a bit more ($70 for two years), but there service is more easily managed. They provide a web-based control panel to change the Name Server information listed above.

If you already have a domain registered through Register.com, or Enic.com, you must perform the changes to the Name Server information using the Name Servers provided above. You can also register your domain name with us on our DNC (Domain Name Center) for much less than other registrars only $10 a year. We take care of all the technical aspects of your domain as well.

Lost one year when transferring Domain Name from one Registrar to Another

This is a common caveat that most people are not aware of. Here is the explanation for this issue.

In any domain transfer process there are three entities involved -

Domain Owner (Registrant)
Losing Registrar
Gaining Registrar

Typically a Domain Name is transferred sometime before its expiry in order to renew it with the Gaining Registrar. This results in ONE YEAR getting added to the domain name. The charges for this one year are collected by the Gaining Registrar. There is however a case when it seems as if this one year is not added during the transfer process. You need to understand this so that you do not make the mistake.

Basically if a Domain Name Expires, it is not deleted immediately. The Registrar of the domain name must explicitly delete the name within 45 days or else it is deemed to have been renewed. This period of 45 days is called the Auto Renew period. If during these 45 days the Registrant Renews the Domain Name with the Losing Registrar and then TRANSFERS the name to a new Gaining Registrar, then in that case the Domain Name WILL lose the year that was added with the Losing Registrar. Lets take an example.

* Suppose a domain name expires on 1st Jan 2001. Lets also suppose currently this domain is with Registrar A

* On 3rd Jan 2001 (after the domain has expired) you renew the domain with Registrar A. The domain has already expired, but not yet deleted, so you can safely renew it with Registrar A. This will make the expiry date as 1st Jan 2002

* Now on 10th Jan 2001 if you transfer this domain name to Registrar B this is what will happen

* The transfer will add one year to the domain name (expiry date will be 1st Jan 2003)

* If there has been any renewals in the 45 day auto-renew period those years will be removed (expiry date will be reset to 1st Jan 2002)

* The net effect therefore will be - that no year gets added to the transferred domain. It is however important to note that the year during TRANSFER is ACTUALLY ADDED. The reason why the expiry date does not reflect it is that the year added in renewal with the LOSING REGISTRAR is credited BACK to the Losing Registrar by the Registry.

You can do the following things in this situation

1. MOST IMPORTANTLY. Do not Transfer a name from one Registrar to another during the 45 day auto-renew period immediately after the expiry date of the domain name. Therefore, if a domain name expires on 1st Jan 2001, do not transfer it to another Registrar until 15th Feb 2001.

2. If you have already done this mistake however, the only recourse is to obtain a refund from the Losing Registrar for the renewal you have paid for with them. There is little scope of getting it considering that most Registrars may not understand this issue or may not have a refund policy.

 

H-Sphere DNS Zones

The main named directory both on master and slave DNS servers is /paxsoft/local/var/named/.

It contains the zones_index.conf file, the zones_(NUMBER).conf files and the zones(NUMBER) directories, where (NUMBER) = 1, 2, ... , 22
This structure contains paxsoft DNS info and files. To find a zone, execute the following commands:
# cd /paxsoft/local/var/named/
# grep "Zone.Name.com" *.conf
It will return the data which contains the zone file location. But please don't modify it manually, especially, if you don't understand what you do.

The localhost and 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa zones files are located in the /paxsoft/local/var/named/local/ directory.

Custom DNS Zones

If you need to add a custom zone, we recommend placing it into this directory. Note that paxsoft won't manage your custom zones, you will have to manage them manually.

Reverse DNS

Paxsoft doesn't manage reverse DNS. To configure reverse DNS globally for the main paxsoft domain, paxsoft owner's ISP or domain registration company should accordingly configure reverse DNS for this domain on their DNS servers.
 

Note:

• Transferring your Domain Name to PaxHost will add 1 Year to your Domain Name.
• Your Domain Name must be at least 60 days old. You cannot transfer a Domain Name if it has been registered in the last 60 days. Please check your Domain Name Creation date by performing a WHOIS on your domain name and make sure it is at least 60 days old.
• Transferring your Domain Name will add one year to its current expiry date. You will be charged 1 year fees for it. IMPORTANT: If your domain expired with your old Registrar, and you renewed it with them, then do not Transfer it within 45 days of the previous expiry date since it will not add 1 more year to your domain name, and you will lose out on the Renewal fees paid to the older Registrar.
