Frequently Asked Questions
Who will design and maintain our web site?
OWT may be available to design and/or maintain your non-profit
web site at our regular rates. However, our business clients will
be given priority status on design projects so we cannot promise
a timely response to your design project. Please email
us for more information about design rates and current availability
-- and be sure to provide as much detail about your project as
possible.
We've registered a domain. What are OWT's DNS settings
so we can list OWT as our host?
If you've registered (or plan to register) a domain yourself,
you will need the following information in order to indicate that
the domain and web site will be hosted at OWT. The registrar should
ask at some point if you wish to "Configure your DNS" or "Manage
your Name Servers"; you do, and you will need some or all
of this information depending on which registrar you use:
Primary Server: oneworld.owt.com
Primary IP: 204.118.6.2
Secondary Server: dns2.owt.com
Secondary IP: 204.118.6.14
Where should we go to register a domain?
There are dozens of companies offering domain registration online,
with costs ranging from $10-$40 per year. As long as the registrar
is "ICANN Accredited", you should feel safe registering
a domain. Due to difficulties many of our business clients have
experienced with Network Solutions / Verisign, we cannot urge you
strongly enough to AVOID registering your domain there. Using Network
Solutions as your domain registrar is an invitation for future
problems.
When we register domains for clients, we don't use the super-cheap
companies because they tend to go out of business or be purchased
(by companies like Network Solutions). We encourage you to allow
OWT to register your group's domain with our domain registrar.
There are several benefits:
- It's free. (included in your hosting package)
- OWT can deal with any necessary domain maintenance issues (updating
DNS servers, contact information, etc.)
- No domain-related logins and passwords for you to memorize.
- The domain is still registered in your group's name, and your
group owns the domain.
