InterNIC (Network Information Center) is an independent agency
set up to serve the Internet community. It makes the rules, administers the registration
process, and maintains the official data base of registered Domain Names. All applications
are subject to InterNIC approval.
InterNIC does not screen names for registered trademarks or other rights. Since domain
names are registered on a first come, first serve basis, it is best to register Internet
business and brand names before they are taken.
Some InterNIC Registration Requirements
- InterNIC requires a name search to assure that the requested name is still available.
You can search InterNIC's Whois database from our site - see below.
- InterNIC requires applicants to have both a primary and secondary Domain Name Server
(DNS) to translate between domain names and numeric IP numbers. Shop Alberta provides the
required Domain Name Service as part of your application.
- Soon after your domain name is registered, InterNIC will bill you directly for $100,
which covers their registration fee for two years. After two years they will bill you an
annual fee of $50. Billing is made to the domain's "Billing Contact" via Email,
or by US postal mail if you specify this preference in the "comments" section of
our application.
