Frequently Asked Questions
In this section, we try to answer most of the questions we regularly receive. If there is a question
or subject you would like answered but does not appear to be answered here, feel free to
contact us today. To help you better navigate, all
questions are written in red.
How can I be certain that it is really HIN (High Impact Names) that is
the sole owner to all the domain names available on this Web site ?
Excellent question ! Network Solutions Inc., a US-based company, is the only corporate
entity or agency that was mandated by the United States government and ICANN (Internet Corporation
for Assigned Names and Numbers) to fully administer all Internet domain names in the .com
.net and .org category. They have the exclusive authority to make any changes and/or additions to new
names. All one has to do to verify the identity of a rightful owner or to wich corporate entity a
domain name belongs to is to access the international database of all .com's domain names at
Network Solutions. Currently, all domain names on this Web site are registered to our parent
company: The General Center for Internet Services Inc. and/or to Serge A. Thibodeau personnally. Their
Web site can be found at www.gcis.ca should you
require more information.
You can easily access the Network Solutions Web site by clicking on this link:
http://www.networksolutions.com/cgi-bin/whois/whois.
Once I have paid for my new domain names, how can I be certain that the
proper transfer of the titles will be done and done correctly ?
High Impact Names.com deals only with Network Solutions for the transfer in the legal registration
of all domain names. Within 24 business hours after having received your order, all proper
procedures and all the necessary steps are taken on our part to assure you of a fast and safe
transfer in the ownership title of your new domain name.
How long has HIN been in business ?
High Impact Names.com has been involved in the registering, buying and selling of Internet
domain names since 1995. We are considered the industry pioneers in this highly segmented
area of the Web.
What is the main advantage of having a highly recognizable Web domain
name ?
Apart from the obvious reason that a highly recognizable Web domain name is easy to relate to,
example: www.carbeauty.com or www.plasticmoldings.com... etc., it gives your business instant marketability.
Additionally, since we know that .com's domain names are getting scarcer by the day (a bit like
the limited availability of vacant land in a given city), .com's domain names should actually go up
in value with the simple passage of time.
Do you actually have people or companies buying and registering domain names that they will probably
never use because those domain names were purchased only as investments ?
Definitely yes ! At HIN, more and more people and businesses have recognized the great value that
a good Internet domain name represents and have invested important sums of money in their registering.
For a sound explanation in the reasoning behind domain names as investments, see the answer to the
previous question.
Our company does not have any domain name registered so far. Where can we go to have it registered
and what does it involve ?
On an international basis, High Impact Names.com is an authorized registering agent of all
domain names in the .com, .net, .org, .ca (Canada), .biz, .info, .pro etc. etc. There is a nominal
cost incurred to have any domain names registered for any entity.
Just click on the Register link at the top of our menu on any page
of our Web site to register in your name any new Internet domain name (if it is still available) for
your company or business.
Can I have more than one domain name and is there any restrictions in the number
of domain names a person or corporate entity is entitled to ?
There is no limit in the number of Internet domain names a person or corporate entity can hold, either
as active domain names or only as long-term investments. We actually have companies and businesses
registering a certain number of domain names to cover all their different brands and/or related
marketing operations. Apart from the obvious legal protection in having such domain names
registered for their brand names, they can have them actually "point" to their existing Web site
(s) to gain more sales and actually increase their client base. We would be happy to give you
more details in the actual way this can be done. Just contact us
today and a HIN technical advisor will gladly assist you in your marketing strategy and
how it can be done rapidly.
Can High Impact Names.com help us in recommending a better domain naming strategy based on our
actual industry ? We have tried so far but with very limited results.
Yes. The highly qualified team of industry experts at High Impact Names.com can help you with any
Internet domain naming strategy. We actually have people and large companies consulting with us
before buying or registering any domain names as a safety measure.
Does HIN works with ISP's (Internet Service Providers) and other companies
directly engaged in corporate Internet services ? If so, could you recommend any ?
Yes. High Impact Names.com works extensively with ISP's, VAR's (Value Added Resellers), ISI's
(Information Systems Integrators) and industry professionals engaged in the design and building
of corporate Web sites, Intranets, Extranets, e-commerce and B2B trading platforms. Depending on
your exact geographic location, we can try to help you in the recommendation of trusted industry
professionals whom we have had positive experiences in the past. In North-America, the market
leader since 1996 is by far The General Center for Internet Services Inc. In the industry, they are
known as GCIS and offers all corporate Internet services listed above. Having worked extensivily
with GCIS since 1996, High Impact Names.com can safely recommend you to them. GCIS
has designed and built the HIN Web site and currently hosts it. Their Web site is located at:
www.gcis.ca
Will a reserved domain name purchased at HIN actually increase my chances of better visibility of
my Web site ?
Yes, but for any Web site to function properly and yield satisfactory results, first, it must be submitted,
then properly positioned in the MSE's (Major Search Engines) and finally it has to be dynamically
indexed in all MSE's located all over the Web. In partnership with
GCIS Inc., High Impact Names.com
offers the complete range of indexing and professional Web positioning services to any company or
organization. Just leave us an email with the mention "Web positioning" in the message body. It will
be automatically forwarded to our Indexing and Positioning department, with a copy sent to the great
people at GCIS. It can normally take up to a maximum of 90 days before all the indexing will show up
in all major search engines. High Impact Names.com presently performs Internet indexing and positioning
services to over 3,000 Web industry professionals located all over the world. These professionals are
busy building and developing the Internet for their own customers operating in many industries. Web
positioning and indexing is truly considered one of the best investment for any company that owns
and operates any number of Web sites, ecommerce sites or B2B (Business-to-Business) trading
platforms.
What is the typical "turnaround time" to buy an existing reserved domain
name at HIN ?
After having received your order and after securing it's payment to any of our offices, it takes
approximately 48 hours (2 business days) after that. The Network Solutions international database is updated twice
daily, but with anywhere between 20,000 and 40,000 new Web sites being developed and put on-line
on any given day, clearly there are times when the system is actually bogged down. But, in most
cases, we have successfully transfered a staggering amount of domain names since the founding of
High Impact Names.com and in 2000 and 2001, we are witnessing more and more trading and registering
in Internet domain names, all coming from the four corners of the world.
We are not ready to have our Web site built right away. However, our Internet
domain name is chosen and we would like to protect it. What can we do ?
This question comes to us hundreds of times everyday. Yes you can have and you
should register it right away. There are no time constraints or
time limits as to when you should have your Web site developed. On top of protecting your corporate Web
identity or brand, one additional major advantage to have your domain name registered today is the obvious
advantage of having your company name in your email address ! Here is what we mean: The Strong Widgets
Company Inc. has no registered domain name. Their typical email address would look something like this:
strongwidgets@hotmail.com
or:
strongwidgets@aol.com
or:
strongwidgets@name-of-isp.com
In any case, it does not clearly identify the company and creates more confusion if anything. Now
look at The Romantic Travel Agency Inc. They don't have a Web site yet, but they had us register for
them www.romantictravel.com and now look at the difference in their email addresses:
info@romantictravel.com
reservations@romantictravel.com
tickets@romantictravel.com
accounting@romantictravel.com
Finally, when they do have their Web site developed, their Web address will be:
www.romantictravel.com
We strongly recommend any business or company to do the same. A good Internet domain name is a must
in today's globally interconnected world ! Contact us today !
