6 accounts per registrar with a duration of 1yr for resource domain
2+ for special domains under ST name. Checking the availability of
the name and also the patent status of the domain name that is to
be registered.
Every domain registered has its own individual email address assigned.
Maximum of 5 domains on each registrar per day. After the domain is
registered the contact details should be updated and should be unique
using American and British names and addresses before the name server
address is changed to the address of the hosting server. Most of the
time there are issues with regards to the payment. Sending an email
to the registrar somehow resolves the issue. Mode of Payment for the
registration is thru Simon's Credit Card. After payment of the said
registrations, a copy of the invoice should be kept for record and
send to Teacher and Student 1.
Reminders!
When choosing for a new domain name registrar. The budget provided
per domain is $9-$15/year the cheaper the better but should also consider
the quality of service they offer. (depending on the domain type requirement)
