  What is virtual domain hosting?
Domain hosting is having your site (www.yourname.com) hosted by a server and thus publishing your site to the internet.

  How do I register my domain name and how much will it cost?
We can register your domain name for you. The cost may vary depending on the hosting plan you use.

  What if I already have a domain with another provider and want to host with Puerto Rico Hosting?
You can transfer your domain to our servers.  Since there are multiple providers for obtaining domains, we will contact you with the specifics on getting your domain updated.  There are no fees associated with assisting you in transferring your domain name.    

  How quickly can my account be setup?
Usually if a domain is registered and submitted before 5pm then it is possible to have your site working the very next morning.  Domain transfers take a bit longer but usually happen within 2-4 days.

  What is domain parking and can I "park" my domain name at Puerto Rico Hosting?
Domain parking is a way of reserving your name without having to build a web site.  The latest estimates predict that over 8,000 names/month are currently being registered.  With that in mind, parking your name guarantees that when you are ready to build your web site, your name will be ready as well.  If you have questions, please feel free to see our Domain Registration or call us and we will be happy to step you through the process.

  May I pick any plan I choose no matter what status I am (personal or business)?
Yes, you may pick any plan you like regardless of your role.

  Do you deal with international orders?
Yes, international orders are welcome.  

  How am I billed?
You may choose to be billed quarterly or yearly.
