THE VIRTUAL SERVER HANDBOOK
InterNIC will not register a name longer than twentysix characters.com
because domain names with fields longer than 26 characters are not
allowed.
InterNIC will not register illegal_characters.net because it contains an
illegal character. Domain names can only contain letters, digits, and dashes.
Registering or Transferring Domains
When you order a new Virtual Server or add another domain to an existing
virtual server our order wizards will look up the domain. If the domain is
registered, we will need to know if you want to transfer the domain name.
Transferring the domain means a request is sent to the registrar to modify
the nameservers to point to the our nameservers. None of the contact
information is changed during the transfer process.
If the domain does not exist yet we will be able to register the domain name
for your during the initial Virtual Server order. The registrar will send you
additional information on registering the domain. You are responsible for
completing the registration process and paying all applicable setup fees with
the registrar.
Other Registration tools
If you are still trying to decide on a domain name you can check to see if a
particular domain is registered or available by going to our website.
