ROTARY CLUB OF TRAIL DOMAIN NAME SELECTION AND REGISTRATION
There are a few steps to have a Website of our own:
| 1. Domain
Name: a domain name, e.g. www.trailrotary.org,
must be registered and renewed on an annual basis with an ICANN registrar. Domain-name services may or may not
come with this purchase: Web forwarding, URL gripper and e-mail forwarding. Visit the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the international not-for-profit organization that currently oversees the Internet's domain name system, and select an ICANN accredited registrar for the appropriation of a .com, .net or .org domain. |
 |
| 2. Domain Hosting: the files making up the webpages must be hosted on a "domain hosting" service provider. Contact Internet Service Providers (ISPs) for domain-hosting services and fees. | |
| 3. WebSite Maintenance: WebSite maintenance requires HTML editor software, editing skills and accesss to the Internet through an ISP to transfer files to the file server hosting the domain files. | |

GLOSSARY OF TERMS (from ICAAN)
Domain name parking: A domain name registration that does not include domain name hosting or forwarding services. Users can park a domain name to reserve it for future use.
E-mail forwarding: A service that directs e-mail messages sent to one address to another address. E-mail forwarding is analogous to call forwarding for telephones. This will be useful so we can receive e-mail sent to anyone@trailrotary.com. E-mail forwarding sends all mail sent to xxx@trailrotary.com to a single designated e-mail address, e.g. cytra@direct.ca.
URL Gripper: keeps your customized Web address in your visitors' browser location field as they surf your site.
Web forwarding: A service that points a domain name to an existing Web site address. Web forwarding lets you register a domain name (such as "trailrotary.org") and attach it to an existing Web site (such as "http://mypage.direct.ca/s/sdaniels/rotary").
Web hosting: A service frequently provided by internet-service providers allowing you to direct internet traffic to a URL (Universal Resource Locator) address of your own on their internet file server.
