Hosting Q&A
Aaron Agee, Blizzard Internet Marketing, Inc.

Question: Can I have a sub-domain such as "sales.mydomain.com"?
Answer: Yes, you will be able to have your own sub-domain, such as "sales.yourdomainname.com". A sub-domain is basically a sub-directory or folder created under the primary domain account. The main benefit of a sub-domain is that it doesn’t require domain name registration or fees that are associated with a full domain name.

Question: What is the difference between a domain and a sub-domain?
Answer: A domain name is a full website address totally independent of other domain names, but a sub-domain depends on a domain name. For example, if "yourdomain.com" were your domain name, then http://yourdomain.com and http://www.yourdomain.com would be your domain name’s address or “URL”. A sub-domain name would be a name under your domain name, something like "sales.yourdomain.com". Its URL would then be http://sales.yourdomain.com.

Question: How many sub-domains can I add to my account?
Answer: Each Blizzard hosting plan allows you to add up to five sub-domains for free. You can forward a sub-domain to any page on your website for $50.00 a year. As mentioned above, this saves the cost of domain registration.

Question: Can you register my domains?
Answer: Yes, we can register your domain name. Please allow 48-72 hours for new domain name registration to fully propagate the Internet; this is the amount of time required for DNS (Domain Name Server) changes to take effect across the Internet.

Question: Do you register all types of domains?
Answer: We register the most popular domains extensions that are available on the market today. We register .com, .net, .org, and .biz domains.

Question: Do you host all types of domain names?
Answer: Yes, we can host all type of domains. There are no restrictions regarding the types of domain names that we can host. .

Question: I have multiple domains and domain forwarding? Can I host them with one hosting plan?
Answer: Yes, all of our hosting plans allow you to forward up to five domains on one hosting account for no additional fee. You will, however, need to register the domain name. We offer domain name registration for $30 per year. To add additional websites to your hosting account, send an e-mail request to support@blizzardinternet.com
