If you are setting up a website to accommodate your family heirloom, you are more than welcome to use one of our subdomains, for example; your web address would read "yourname@griobooks.com",
or "yourname@ancestrybooksrus.us".
You have the option of obtaining your own (included in most packages), yoursurname.com. You will receive this domain for 1 year, afterwards, in order to keep your domain, you must renew for around $14.00 per year. We will remind you when it is close to your renewal date at which time you decide to keep it or not. For more information on our webhosting services, visit GriotSites.com.
DOMAIN 101
What is a Domain Name?
Call it a "dot-com name," a URL or whatever you choose to call it, a domain name is the part of a network address that identifies it as belonging to a particular domain. In essence, it's the cornerstone of your online presence.
What is the Importance of a Personal Domain Name?
If you ever change your web host, your domain name goes with you. Your regular visitors can still find you on the web if you choose to leave us as go to another webhosting provider.
If you get a domain name that is in fact your family's surname, family members can find your family site easily and can return to your site without having to consult their documents.
We make getting your domain name easy. Simply enter the name you want in the search field here, and we'll tell you instantly whether the name is available. If it's available, you pay a single fee that is renewable every year, and the name is yours.
Getting a domain name involves registering the name you want with an organisation called ICANN through a domain name registrar. For example, if you choose a name like "example.com", you will have to go to a registrar, pay a registration fee that costs around US$10 to US$40 for that name. That will give you the right to the name for a year, and you will have to renew it annually for (usually) the same amount per annum.
