Hosting/Disk Storage Questions

[KarenVaughn]

You CAN change your website name, Angie; in fact, I have done so myself.  It may cost you a one time additional $10 a month, depending on when you create your new domain.
This is because every time you enter in a new domain name, you are actually setting up a new account, for which another $10 per month is charged.

Just go to your affiliate site and scroll down to Domains.  You can, at any time, add a new domain (many people have more than one now); put in the new domain name that you want, and then BE sure that you cancel the other one, the domain name that you no longer want.  Once you have cancelled it, as a further follow-up, it is a good idea to contact Customer Service direct to make sure they have receipt of your cancellation request.

It is even a good thing to promote with your downline the BENEFITS of having more than one domain, because every time they get a second or a third, YOU are earning another $1.00 per month off of each one of them. 

As to your question is it necessary to create a domain name in the sign-up process, or can that be done afterwards, it IS necessry in the sign-up stage.  This, I am sure, is to protect those people who have a very specific name in mind that they WANT for their domain.  By securing it immediately when they sign up, this is assuring them that no one else will ever be able to capture or have that name.

Hello everybody

I am new to GDI and have some questions that should have come to my mind before purchasing the domain name.

First thing first . So let me tell what i know and think (speculate) about all about GDI and GDI Business :-

1.Having purchased the domain name for $10 from GDI i have two options

  a) host my website with this domain name through GDI itself and this does not invole any additional cost or
  b) host my website with this domain name through some other company , say kiosk.ws.

2.I have to pay $10 every month to GDI to keep my ownership of the domain name .

3.The website that i host through GDI should be devoted to promotion of GDI business itself and nothing else .

4.I can construct my website using the sitebuilder of GDI .

5.If i build my website using sitebuilder , it automatically get hosted through GDI.

Now my questions are

1.Is it a true business if it is restricted to seling of l domain name on behalf of GDI ? Why people need domain name at all ? To do their own business ,say sell their own product or service or promote their referral links etc., am I right ?

2. If I host my website through GDI , how many subdomain and ad on domains can I launch under the same domain name ?

3. Is my impression that GDI hosted website is compelled to promote GDI product i.e, GDI domain name and nothing else right or wrong ?

I will try my best to answer your questions or most of them.

1.  First and foremost, as a GDI affliate you are purchasing an the entire line products or services including the business opporturnity.  This includes the domain name, email address, hosting, website builder (all for $10 per month).  Everyone needs to own a piece of Internet Real Estate (they just do not realize it).  That's exactly what a domain name is (Internet Real Estate).  It identifies you and/or your business.  And yes, it is a true business even if there is only one domain.  GDI has the exclusive rights to the .ws extension, that's what they sell.

2.  GDI does not provide the typical contol panel.  Therefore, no sub-domains are available.

3.  You are not obligated or required to promote GDI with your website(s).  That what most people do.  Your website can be about a hobby, another business, family, etc.

Hope that answers your questions

Hi

I have been wrestling with this for a while. I want to publish some files and make them available by download through my site. This is very important to me and one of the main reasons I wanted a website. I want people to be able to download my files and then be thanked by way of a thank you page. How is the thankyou.html file hosted and how are my product/article files hosted for download? I cannot find anywhere to upload my files. i am using the inbuilt sitebuilder and all that allows me to do is graphics and small media files (100mb is not much). If anyone can help me here it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have a tricky question!
If i would buy a domainname like HennesandMaurtiz.ws or any other "big" domainname can they just demand/take it without paying for the domainname or must they buy it from me?
HennesandMauritz is a trademark right?

regards Stefan

Log into your Member's area, click on support and follow the instructions to cancel your domain (not your account).  Then order the new domain.  If you are in your 7-day trial period, it should be a simple process.  If you are outside your 7-day period, you can still cancel, you will have to pay for the new domain.  It's all in your Member's area.

I've found good answers using the forum. Thanks

I was just curious as to whether there have been any problems in Google or other SE's with the .ws domains?  I am a newbie so do not know if this matter has been addressed before?  If there is a place that discusses this issue, please point me to it.  Thanks!
