Can I access my domain with and without the www?
Yes, you will be able to access your domain with and without the www prefix.
Do I have to make my contact details public?
Yes and no. Anything you put as your registration information for your domain name is easily accessible by the public. This is important in case anyone wants to contact you. However, there is a downside.
Do I have to register a domain name with Crucial?
Not at all. You can register a domain name with any registrar that you choose.
Do you push domain names?
We do not push domain names to other eNom accounts. If you would like to have your domain under your eNom account, you will need to transfer it away from Crucial. Crucial does this because we take a hit on every domain we sell.
How do I see if the domain name I want is available?
You can search for the domain using our Domain Finder, or perform a whois lookup.
How do I setup custom nameservers?
Nameservers must be registered with the holding registrar of the domain in question.
How do I transfer a domain from Crucial?
As long as the domain is not expired, you can transfer a domain name to another registrar.
How do I transfer a domain name to Crucial?
In order to transfer a domain name to Crucial Web Hosting, the following requirements must be met before we can process the transfer.
How do I transfer a Yahoo! domain to Crucial?
When you register a domain with Yahoo! your domain is locked automatically. To unlock your Yahoo! domain you'll need to go to your "Domain Control Panel" and click on the "Edit Domain Locking" link. Once you access this page, you'll see your domain lock status.
My domain name is registered with you, how will I know when to renew?
When you register a domain name with Crucial Web Hosting, the auto-renew feature for your domain name is automatically enabled.
What are your primary and secondary DNS numbers?
We have three nameservers, although you only need to use two of them:
- ns1.crucialwebhost.com
- ns2.crucialwebhost.com
- ns3.crucialwebhost.com
What domain name extensions can I register with Crucial?
Please see our list of available TLDs to see what domain extensions we offer and their yearly price.
What is a whois lookup?
Whois is a protocol that is widely used for querying a database in order to determine the owner of a domain name or IP address on the Internet.
You can perform a whois lookup from Crucial.
What is an EPP Authorization Code?
The EPP Authorization Code (EPP Auth Code or EPP Authorization Key) is a 6- to 16-character code assigned by the registrar at the time the .com, .net, .biz, .org, .info or .name domain name was created. The authorization transfer key is basically a password for the domain.
What is domain name propagation?
Propagation is the period of time, or delay, involved in sending your domain name's address information to all the various name servers in the world. Nameservers intentionally keep track of addresses for domain names in their memory for a specific period of time.
What is the Crucial Domain Finder?
The Crucial Domain Finder takes your suggestions—like a keyword, phrase, or domain name—and comes up with a list of available domain names that you can buy. Crucial uses powerful, self-learning FirstImpact™ technology that combines statistical, semantic, and human feed.
Will my domain name be registered under my name?
Absolutely! You will be paying for the domain, so you will have complete ownership. You can lose control over your domain in the event of non-payment.
