WHEN MY DOMAIN NAME IS REGISTERED, WHO OWNS THE DOMAIN NAME?You do. When we register your domain name with Bulk Register, you are the administrative and billing contact.
Since Zaphost registers your domain name, we will remain as the technical contact. If for any reason you do not want us as the technical contact, you will need to contact domains@zaphost.com to make these changes.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THE WORLD TO ACCESS MY DOMAIN NAME?We, of course, will setup your domain name on our servers within 24 hours. While setting up your site, we will also work to register or transfer your domain name. It takes 24-48 hours to complete new domain name registrations once processed. However after this time period, it truly depends on ALL networks and ISPs of the world to update their servers and lookup your new domain name. Some popular dial-up ISPs (i.e. Earthlink) take less than 6 hours to update their servers, while others will take more than 3 days. So if you are still using a dial-up connection to the Internet, make sure you have a reliable ISP that promply updates its DNS servers, so you can access yourdomain.com right away.
