Domain Name : If you don't own a domain name yet, it is recommended that you find a domain name that is available first through our site at http://cheapdomains.intlws.com and register it and add the name during your signup process for your hosting account. Your account will be automatically created with your new domain name and when the DNS zones are updated throughout the internet your site will be available. You will receive an independent control panel for maintaining your domain names.
You should register your domain name first and then signup for your hosting plan. Dot Com domains are only $8.95 per year.
When adding a domain during the hosting registration process or later for new domains or additional domains, use the following form that is available on your H-Sphere hosting control panel. You will just add in your domain name and it's extension "ie" .com, .net and then click submit.
Below is not a live form - only a sample of the form you will use on your control panel.

The domain is not actually transferred to us. Only local DNS records are created for it so that your web site will be available via it's domain name. If you registered your domain name through our domain registration service then this is all you need to do. Your new domain will be available on the internet within 24 - 72 hours. You may upload content in the meantime to the instant domain alias provided in your control panel.
If you have registered your domain through another company that sells domain names you will have to get them to point the DNS server zones to our servers at ns1.intlws.com, ns2.intlws.com, ns3.intlws.com, and ns4.intlws.com or do so through a control panel that they have provided for you. Your site will not be available on the internet until this is done and allow 24-72 hours for it to propagate through the internet. You may upload content in the meantime to the instant domain alias provided in your control panel.
Please download the H-Sphere control panel guide for information on proper use of your control panel.
Stopgap Domain : will allow you to use hosting services without a real domain. Stopgap domains don't have DNS zones, and don't allow e-mail service. You can access your sites using your instant domain alias that is automatically created for you when you signup.
Stopgap domains support web site management and FTP services. Also, IP-only access is possible with a dedicated IP.
You can add a real domain to your account through your control panel at a later time and delete your stopgap domain if you wish.
3rd Level Domain: If your plan allows this option you will be able to signup with a domain name of "yourstore.buynowmarketplace.com" and have instant activation and resolving of your web site and be listed in the Buy Now Market Place.
