Do I have to pay my registrar's registration fee?
Yes. Anyone who registers a new
domain name with a .com, .net, or .org extension (regardless of what web hosting
provider one goes through) MUST pay your registrar a registration fee. There's
really no way around this!
If you wish to host a sub-domain name with us (i.e.
yourname.realvalue.net or yourname.yourdomain.com), the InterNIC fee is not
applicable.

domain names (.uk, .se, .ca, etc)?

Value Network can host your foreign domain name, we however DO NOT

domain name yourself. We can give you any information needed by the foreign registrar.

the world to access my domain name?
We, of course, will setup your domain
name on our servers within 24 hours on business days. Your
registrar will usually takes less than 12 hours to complete new domain name
registrations. However after this time period, it truly depends on ALL networks
and ISPs of the world to update their servers and lookup your new domain name. Some
popular dial-up ISPs (i.e. Earthlink, Slip.Net, Sprynet, Grid.Net) take less then 6 hours
to update their servers, while others will take more than 2 days. So if you are

promply updates its DNS servers, so you can access yourdomain.com right away.
