Frequently Answered Questions:

General
How much does domain registration cost?
The cost for domain registration is $35 per year. This is inclusive of all registrar fees. You may select a registration term of 1 - 10 years. We bill our customers directly, and remit the registration fee to the official ICANN accredited registrar. 

Charges will appear on your credit card statement as Dynaserve Technologies Ltd. Dynaserve is a Canadian company, and the final charges appearing on your statement may vary slightly depending on the US exchange rate on the day of billing.

Is webhosting included with the domain registration?
The domain registration fee covers the cost of domain registration only. Webhosting is NOT included. The free under construction page we provide is a generic non-customizable page.

Can I cancel my domain registration?
No. The registrar has a very strict cancellation policy. Once a registration has been processed it is non-cancelable and non-refundable.

Transfer requests must come from the email address of the registered domain owner.

Please contact the registration service you originally used to register your domain name, and request the DNS change through them.

You will need to provide the following information to transfer your domain to our servers:

Dynaserve Primary and Secondary Nameserver information:

NS2.DYNASERVE.COM 209.153.215.206

Dynaserve Technical Handle (Internic): AD5854-ORG. If you are transferring to us to use our Domain Forwarding service, please complete a Domain Forwarding order as well.

Domain Record Modifications/Updates
How do I update my domain record?
To update your domain record please login to our Domain Control Panel. You will require the username and password you provided when you submitted your domain name registration. You may also request changes to your domain records (DNS, Technical contact, etc) at any time via email. Please direct any modification requests to dnsadmin@dynaserve.com

Back to top

Why can't I modify my domain record at networksolutions.com?
Networksolutions is no longer the central source for domain names  - there are many new ICANN accredited registrars worldwide. We do not submit registrations through Network Solutions, therefore you can not view or modify your domain records there. Please submit any domain modifications directly to us at dnsadmin@dynaserve.com and we will update your domain record accordingly.
