Domains & Virtual Email

A virtual domain gives you a unique identity on the Internet. It lets you advertise your business name and helps customers remember your web address.

When you create your web hosting account with OWT, we will gladly help you locate and register the right domain name for your business. We will also mount the domain on our server, program your domain's DNS routing, and setup virtual email addresses that match your domain name. The costs for OWT's domain services are detailed below.

Best of all, when OWT registers your domain, you get the benefit of our domain management services -- never worry again about a domain name scam! You can ignore all those unsolicited emails and letters you get from domain companies trying to get you to switch. OWT will manage your domain, keeping it registered and renewed for as long as you remain an active customer with us! You can have peace of mind about your domain name.

Based on these costs, our typical business hosting client should plan on $124 to register and setup one new domain for use with a business web site. If OWT is also designing the web site, the $99 setup fee is waived for the first domain.

Virtual Email Setup

Virtual email allows you to send and receive email from an address that uses your domain, not your ISP's domain. Virtual email is a forwarding service: every virtual address must "point" to a physical address. The hosting plan you choose determines how many virtual email addresses you may setup.

If you have a web hosting account and a virtual domain hosted at OWT, you may email OWT to order or update your virtual email addresses.

Note: many Internet providers (ISPs) do not allow customers to send email with a "from" address that's different from the ISPs default domain. OWT Internet access customers do not face this limitation. Depending on your circumstances, we may be able to help non-OWT access customers overcome this limitation.

DNS Information

If you choose to register a domain yourself and you want your domain to be hosted at OWT for web site and/or email use, you'll need OWT's Domain Name Server information, which is listed below. At some point during the registration process, you should be given the chance to "configure" or "setup" your domain's DNS information. Different registrars handle this differently.

OWT's Domain Name Server information is as follows:

Primary Name Server: oneworld.owt.com
Primary IP Address: 204.118.6.2

Secondary Name Server: dns2.owt.com
Secondary IP Address: 204.118.6.14

Note: some registrars require all four (4) pieces of information above; some only require two (2).

Terms

Payment for domain registration and setup is required in advance.
