What is a domain name?
A domain name, such as Fastlineexpress.com, signifies your own address on the Internet. Because no two parties can ever hold identical domain names, picking a domain name lets you have a truly unique identifier of you or your company. It is how your site visitors and customers will remember you and find you among the millions of other websites on the Internet.
What is Hosting?
Web hosting enables you to put your website out on the World Wide Web for everyone to see. A hosting server stores your website files and then serves them to the Internet so that when people type in your domain or web address, they see the website you created.
What are valid characters for a domain name and how long can it be?
The only valid characters for a domain name are letters, numbers and a hyphen. Special characters like the underscore "_" or "&" are NOT permitted. Domain names cannot contain spaces or begin or end with a hyphen, "-". Domain names can be up to 63 characters long including the 4 characters used to identify the Top Level Domain (i.e., .NET, .COM, .ORG, or .EDU).

What happens if I don't renew my domains?
There are several steps after your domain expires to safeguard you from losing any domains you want to keep.
60-days* before your domain(s) expires SIT will send notices reminding you to renew them. The exact expiration date can be seen in your account.
If the domain expires it may still be maintained in the registration database for a 5-day* grace period where it can be renewed at the normal renewal price. During this time all services such as hosting or e-mail will not be active.
After the grace period it will be deactivated and placed into a 30-day* Redemption Period (Note - Some domains may not make it to the redemption period if they are purchased by a third party. Be sure to renew your domains before they enter redemption status.)
Once the Redemption Period has elapsed the domain may be registered by another party. * - Number of days stated in the domain expiration/redemption explanation are approximate.
