Listed below are the domain types and the registration periods that can be registered for each domain.

What is a domain name?
Domain names are the familiar, easy-to-remember names for computers on the Internet (such as giacom.com). Your domain name is the core of your Internet identity - your online brand. Your customers will remember this name and use it to find out about your products and services. Two parties can never hold the same domain name simultaneously because your Internet identity is unique.

What are the limitations in naming a domain?
The character limitation for ordering a domain is 59 characters; the only symbol that is allowed to be present in a domain name is a hyphen (-) any other symbols (such as £ or %) cannot be used in the naming of a domain.

What is a premium domain name?
Premium domain names are high quality domains that have already been registered, but are available for sale at a premium price.

How do I register a domain name?
Access www.giacom.com from your Web browser. Enter the domain name you want to register in the search box on that page, and click ‘Check’. Our system will inform you whether the domain is available for registration or not. If the domain name is available you are given a link to securely register the domain name. We will walk you through the process of registering and paying for the domain name you have chosen. If you already have an account with us you can sign up through myGiacom and therefore not having to enter all your details again except for the payment details.

Can I order a domain simply without any web space?
Yes, we provide a parking service for domains.

Once ordered, will I be the registrant of the domain?
Once a domain name has been successfully registered on your behalf then you will be the registrant of the domain of the duration of the registration period, you will also be allowed to extend your registration.
For any domains hosted with us the renewal of the domain can be done within myGiacom or you can contact the Customer Service department. If this has not been done before or at the time of the renewal, the domain will be released to the public.

Once registered, will it be possible to change a domain name?
Unfortunately it is not possible to change a domain name once it has been registered on your behalf as the required fee’s will have been paid to the central domain authorities. For this reason please ensure that prior to accepting the order for the domain that you check the exact spelling as alterations cannot be made once the domain has successfully been registered on your behalf.
