Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) verification is a part of the Whois Data Accuracy specification, ICANN expects Registrant to verify their contact information of the domain name within 15 days while any of below actions are made
  • A domain name being registered.
  • A domain name being transferred in.
  • Contact details of existing domain is modified.
If the domain owner fails to verify the contact information withing stipulated period of 15 days, the domain will get suspended until the verification process is completed.

Domain forwarding is also called as URL redirection/forwarding. It is a technique on the world wide web for making a web page available under many URLs. It allows to redirect web requests of our domain name to content hosted on a different server.

An author may move a site to a new domain name. Using the URL redirects, the incoming requests to the old URL can be redirected to the new URL. This will help the users who use bookmarks and will also avoid searching and detecting the new URL in search engines.
You will be notified 10 days, prior to the expiration of your domain name. You must renew your domain name to maintain ownership.
Domain owner or registrar is who owns the domain name. The contact details given while registering any domain name will serve as the domain ownership details and it can be fetched from the whois search. The domain owner can decide whether the details can be kept hidden or not in the whois search.

One of the many ranking factors in Google's search engine algorithm is the age of a domain name. Domain age is counted from the time of registration.
Two things that are considered in the age of a domain name:
  • The age of the website
  • The length of time a domain has been registered
The age of the website is determined by how long the content has been actually on the web, how long the site has been in the promotion and even it considered the last time content was updated in site.
The google ranking also takes the domain registration duration into account whether it’s registered for 1 year or multiple years.
Yes, you can. Domain registered will be in money back period for 1 days from the date of registration. Domain name can be cancelled during this money back period. The domain name cancellation incurs charges and new domain name can be registered as fresh domain.

The domain name changes required on the hosting can be done by sending request mail to support@sathyainfo.com. New domain name can be swapped with the old domain name and name servers needs to be updated for new domain.
If a name is not found in a registrar's database, it simply means that the name is not being managed by that particular registrar.
Subdomains are usually treated as separate sites from the main domain site. Consider subdomains as an extension of your domain. For example, your site is www.example.com. A subdomain would be test.example.com.
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) made it mandatory to verify the WHOIS info of all the new domain name registration and domain contact updates.

Registered Name Holder of a domain name need to verify the domain ownership verification process, thereby an email containing a verification link will be sent to the registrant email address.

The link in the email must be clicked by the recipient of the email in order to complete the verification process. Failure to complete the verification process within 15 days will result in the domain being suspended by the registrar.

First, check the inbox in your registered mail id. If you still can't find it, then check the mail in Spam/junk folder. If you did not receive mail then do contact us, so that we can re-send the verification email. Once if its verified, domain will be active within 2-5 hours in all ISP network.
The changes in DNS entries might take some propagation time to take effect. In the meantime, the site can be viewed using the local DNS servers.
The local DNS servers are located in

In Windows:
WINDOWSsystem32driversetchosts
In Linux:
/etc/hosts

In the host file just you need to add the IP and sitename like
mysitename.com x.x.x.x(IP)
Now the site can be viewed as such in the Main server.

Propagation is the period of time, or delay, involved in sending your domain's address information to all the various nameservers in the world. Nameservers intentionally keep track of addresses for domains in their memory for a specific period of time (defined by the administrator of the nameserver). This speeds up the process of looking up an address for a domain name. Unfortunately, this "cached" information also stays in the nameservers when it has been changed at the source of the original information (the domain's registrar).

Nameservers refresh themselves from once an hour to once a day. Experience dictates that 2-3 days is a good estimate for the period of time from when a domain's DNS information is changed at the domain registrar to when everyone in the world can see the change.
The Name Servers once updated will take a time period of 5-24 hours to propagate in all ISP's. Once domain got propagated and points to the hosting server, it will run up and fine.
To access your sites before the domain has propagated, simply access via the server's IP address and the username of the account.
For Linux Hosting: Type the following URL in the web address field to access your website.
http://<(serverip)> /~<(username)>
For Windows Hosting: Login to Plesk panel and click preview link.
Domain parking is a method of registering a domain name and employing it for later use. The person, who owns the domain, will make use of it in future. Normally, the parked domains are saved for future use. Though the site is required only in the future, it is generally booked earlier so that no one else books the same name.

It is also known as inactive domain. It is possible to park a website or domain name, before it is completely launched.

Domain Parking is of two types, 'Monetized and Non-monetized'. In case of Monetized, ads are displayed in site to earn revenue. If it is non-monetized, the 'Page under construction' message will be displayed.
For e.g., 'mysite.com' is the main domain and 'myothersite.com' is the parked domain.
No, it is an automated process. Your domain gets activated automatically. Once you make payment for your domain order, it gets activated on its own. Only the hosting order is done by manual process.
A domain will be suspended by the service provider under two circumstances - Phishing or Scam activities. If the service provider finds a particular website indulged in either of these activities, then they will suspend the account of the respective domain or website.

The term domain theft refers to an act of transferring the registration of a domain name without the permission of the owner of the domain. It is also referred as Domain Hijacking. This activity may cause financial loss to the domain owner. The person who had hijacked a domain may shutdown the website right away or else he will do any phishing or scamming activities, so that the reputation of the website will go down.
Normally 'Domain Hijacking' is done by utilizing the loopholes in the registration process of the domain or through 'Social Engineering' i.e tricks or tactics used to steal a domain name.

But the common trick handled by a domain hijacker is, he will collect details of the domain owner and personify like him. It is like a 'Identity Theft'.
Child Name Servers are generally called as the 'Secondary Name Servers'. These are also the name servers which are registered with the registry under a user's domain name. It can be registered only by the person who owns the domain.

Generally, the resellers practice this method to hide the identity of the provider from where they have hosted the account.

Suppose a provider has name servers ns11.sathyadns.net and ns12.sathyadns.net, the reseller's clients can mention ns11.resellerdomain.com and ns12.resellerdomain.com to hide the identity of the hosting account.

Domain Sniping is the activity of registering a domain name, whose registration had failed immediately after its expiry. In the meantime, the domain snipers register the domain before it was done by the owners of the domain. In some cases, people may register an expired domain with the intention of reselling it to its original owner at high cost.

In order to obtain high price, the domain sniper will redirect the site to some other site. This intends the original owner of the domain to get back the domain name even by incurring heavy costs.

ICANN have introduced Redemption Grace Period (RGP), in order to stop the sniping activities. This gives an opportunity for the current domain holder/owner to re-register or renew his expired domain within the next 30 days after expiry date. So that others will be restricted from registering that expired domain.
Redemption Grace Period is a method devised by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) in order to eliminate the domain sniping activities.

Through this method a domain owner can renew his expired domain within 30 days from the expiry date. In the meantime, others will be denied permission to register the expired domain. Note that domain name cannot be registered by another registrant during the 'Redemption Grace Period'.
Grace Period also called as renewal grace period is the time period after domain expiry date within which the domain owner can renew the domain by paying the renewal cost. No additional cost would be charged if the domain is renewed during the Grace Period.

Grace period may vary for different domain extensions.

After Grace period, the domain will fall into Domain Restoration Period. Domain restoration charge during domain restoration period will be very costly.
If a domain is not renewed by its owner before the end of its (domain) grace period, then the domain will be removed automatically.
The term 'Top Level Domain' refers to the domain, which exists at the topmost level in the hierarchical DNS of the Internet. An example for the top-level domain is .COM.
A domain which is located below the top-level domain [TLD] is termed as 'second level domain'. For example, in the domain name Sathyainfo.com , Sathyainfo is considered as the second level domain of the .com i.e the top-level domain. It is feasible to divide the second level domains to further domain level.
Domain Squatting is also referred as Cybersquatting. It is the activity of registering the domain name belonging to well-known firms, products or even celebrities. Usually, persons registers such domains with the aim of reselling them at higher costs.

Only certain domain extensions including .COM, .NET, .ORG and .IN can be changed within the first One day from the date of registration. You need to mail the old domain name and the domain name to be changed newly to support@sathyainfo.com. A minimal cost is applicable for the change of the domain name.
You can check the availability of the domain at https://sathyainfo.com/domain-registration. If the domain is available in the above link, then it means that the domain name is in common pool.

Generally, it will take 40 days from the expiry date, for a domain to reach the common pool.
Register a domain name. Get the name server details from the blog website for which you would like to map your domain name. After getting the name servers, update the 'Name servers' in domain control panel. When the propagation ends, you can use the domain for your blog.
If you want https for your domain, then you need to buy the 'Security Certificate and Static IP'.
Static IP:
A static IP address is a number that is assigned to a computer by an Internet service provider (ISP) to be its permanent address on the Internet. This means that whether you type in your URL or the IP address of your website, both will bring you to the same page. For example, if someone types your domain name (www.yourdomain.com) in the address bar, that name will be converted into numbers and then the computer will be directed to that IP address (which is the web site).

The main reason for having a static IP address is that you can only use encryption for e-commerce on a static IP address.

Name Server


A name server translates domain names into IP addresses. This makes it possible for a user to access a website by typing in the domain name instead of the website's actual IP address.

Each domain name must have at least two-name servers listed when the domain is registered. These name servers are commonly named ns1.servername.com and ns2.servername.com, where servername is the name of the server.
This is a commonly asked question, I have purchased a hosting package from you and have uploaded my files, how to make my domain name fetch pages from the web space I purchased.

The answer is simple: Name Server

Once you made your hosting purchase from SATHYA TECHNOSOFT INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED, you would have received a mail with Name server details. Or you can also contact our support team to get your Nameserver details. Just update those nameservers to your domain and make your domain to fetch pages from the web space you have purchased with SATHYA TECHNOSOFT INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED.
The Name Servers once updated will take a time period of 5-24 hours to propagate in all ISP's. Once domain got propagated and points to the hosting server, it will run up and fine.
Propagation is the projected length of time it takes a domain's DNS (Domain Name System) information to be updated across the entire web after a change is made. The process can take 24-48 hours to complete in full. Because of propagation, not all visitors will be directed to your new name servers on your new hosting account; some visitors will continue to be directed to your old name servers on your old hosting account until propagation is complete.

How quickly visitors are directed to the new name servers depends on their physical location, and internet service provider; it is not something SATHYA TECHNOSOFT INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED has control over. Once propagation is complete, your site will appear on our server, and your email will be fully functional.

There is no definitive way to tell when propagation is complete. During the first 48 hours, even if you can see your site on the new server, your next-door neighbor might still be visiting the site on the old server. This depends on three factors: your ISP, geographical location, and TTL. There are also ways to see the propagation progress using the websites below. These will show your website's possible visibility.
