YES, you do own your domain name. IST simply registers your domain for you and will make sure that your domain name is renewed at the proper time and stays up to date with the internet register company.

When you register a domain name, you are actually reserving a name that is easy to remember that points to the location on the Web called an IP. Registry services manage these domain names so that others can access your webpage by entering your domain name. Usually these point to webhosting services such as IST who then send the desired webpage to your viewers. When you park a domain, you are simply reserving the name for a later date when you plan to activate your webpage.

Domain names are how your visitors will get to your website. You could have a long web address like http://www.somewebsite.com/~yourusername/website/home.html, or you can get a domain name for your website like http://www.yoursite.com/. IST can register a Domain Name when you setup a web hosting account. You can also reserve a Domain Name to use later or to point to the same website. The former is called domain parking. To Sign-Up for a new web hosting account or just reserve a domain name, fill out our contact form.

IST suggests that you select a name that will be easy for your customers to remember. The obvious and best choice would be to use your business name. An abbreviated domain name promotes simplicity.
Due to the potential liabilities that exist when registering a domain name, including the possibility of infringing trademarks, it is strongly recommended that you consult with your professional advisors prior to registering any name. Also keep in mind that domain names can only be as long as 63 characters. The domain name can only consist of letters, numbers and dashes (-). The www is not part of the actual domain and is just a standard web prefix.
