LaneChange.net Introduces Support for 8 NEW Top Level Domain Names!
Take your identity to the next level! LaneChange.net is proud to
introduce complete life cycle management for 8 NEW Top Level Domains
(TLD's), to add to our existing suite of TLD's: .com, .net, .org & .ca.
The new domains include:
3 NEW Generic TLD's (gTLD's): .biz, .info & .name AND
5 NEW Country Code TLD's (ccTLD's): .cc, .de, .tv, .uk & .us
Register or transfer your domains today and take advantage of our
discounted DNS Hosting solution. Any domain registered through us can
add DNS Hosting for only $7.95/year!
Here is what you need to know about each new TLD:
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
.biz - $15/year!
The .biz TLD is restricted to business users. Now your company has an
alternative to the "already taken" .com/.net/.org domain names. Simply
register your business with the new .biz extension!
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
.info - $15/year!
.info is an unrestricted TLD. This means there are no restrictions to
who can register in the .info domain space. Use this new TLD to promote
information on your company or products!
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
.name - $25/year! Our most unique offering!
This 2-in-1 service includes Domain Name Registration AND Email
Forwarding Service!! You must select YES to "Email Forwarding" when you
place your order for your domain to activate this service. You CANNOT
add it after the fact.
Your name is how everyone recognizes and contacts you throughout your
life. Imagine if you could simply use your name for your online life
too. Well, now you can when you register your .name. You can register
a domain based on your first and last names (firstname.lastname.name or
lastname.firstname.name), so you can create your own website. You also
register your email address (firstname@lastname.name or
lastname@firstname.name), so you'll be able to have one simple identity
through which you can have all your email forwarded. Both your .name
domain and email address can be registered for up to 10 years. As
ownership is renewable, your .name can be yours for life.
This powerful package combines a .name domain name and email forwarding
address, providing the potential for a complete lifelong online
identity. You will own both your .name domain (for example,
peter.morgan.name) and your .name email address (peter@morgan.name, for
instance). As well as being able to build your own website and use your
.name for email, one day soon you could use your .name as your digital
signature to buy things online without giving away your card details, or
it could be your online address book or your universal address for
everything from your email to your mobile phone!
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
.cc - $45/year!
The .cc country code (which stands for Cocos (Keeling Islands)) is
another unrestricted domain name that can be used by anyone who wants a
.cc domain name! Use it to mean Country Club, Chinese Corporation or use
it as an alternative to .com, the choice is yours!
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
.de - $20/year!
Each day, individuals and businesses register an average of 2,000 new
domains under .de. As of Q1 2003, the total number of registered domains
is more than 6.2 million. This registry has only minimal rules
concerning local presence and nameservers. The Registrant OR the
Administrative Contact must reside in Germany and the two name servers
associated with the registration must be authoritative, active and on
different subnets to avoid a single point of failure.
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
.tv - $55/year and up (depending on popularity of domain name)
The TLD for the country of Tuvalu and is an open registry. Anyone can
register a domain name under .tv. Domain names can be registered for any
term between one and 10 years. Some .tv domain names are considered high
profile and are priced separately by the registry. Register a .tv for
your media business, college or university campus television station or
for any domain name that would benefit from a .tv extension!
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
.uk (.co.uk & .org.uk) - $20 for 2 years!
.UK Domain name registrations are made at the third level. We
facilitate registrations under the two most popular and least
restricted second level designations: .co.uk and .org.uk. .co.uk is the
largest second level domain under .uk and is for commercial enterprises.
.org.uk is for non-commercial organizations. There are no local presence
requirements. The minimum registration term is two years.
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
.us - $15/year!
America's address. The minimum registration term is one year.
Registrants must meet US Nexus (presence) requirements:
Category 1 - You are a US citizen or permanent resident
Category 2 - You are a US business or organization.
Category 3 - You are a "foreign entity organization that has a bona fide
presence in the United States of America or any of its possessions or
territories."

Domain Renewals & Domain fraud
Reminder about domain name renewal notices: LaneChange.net always sends
renewal notices by Email. This means you MUST keep your administrative
email address up to date on our system and the email account must be
able to receive email.
It is not uncommon to see competitive domain name registration companies
trying to steal your domain name away, by either making a fraudulent
transfer away request, or by sending you marketing material that looks
like a renewal notice. ALWAYS read any email or letter mail you receive
to be sure you are dealing with the original company that you purchased
services from and when in doubt, ask before you fill out any form or pay
any amount!
Protect your domain with our new Domain Locking feature. If your domain
is registered with us, you can "Registrar Lock" your domain through our
Domain Manager. This lock prevents changes of any kind, including
transfers, to take place, until the domain is unlocked through the
Domain Manager.

As always, thanks for your patronage.
