RS domain F.A.Q.

1. What is a domain?

Internet domain is a text label that identifies a set of device or Internet service, connecting them into a single administrative and technical unit.

2. I don't have a website yet, why should I register a rs domain now?

Registering your domain name now ensures your ownership of the domain name that may not otherwise be available when you want it. Once registered, that domain name is yours (provided that the registration and renewal fees are paid each year). You can hold onto it, use it, sell it or lease it.

3. How can I find out if the domain name I want is still available?

NiNet provides a domain name search engine that can instantly tell you whether or not the name is available. If a domain name is available, you will be given the option to register it.

4. What is WHOIS?

WHOIS is an Internet database that contains information on domain names including the name servers associated with the domain name, the domain registrar and the Administrative, Billing and Technical contacts with postal and email addresses. It is generally used to check either the availability of a domain name or the ownership of a domain name.

5. What are DNS servers?

DNS (Domain Name Server), represents a computer, which is charged with the task of translating domain names into IP adresses. Thanks to the DNS service we can type access websites by only typing their alpha-numeric names (domain names) in the browser instead of their IP addresses, which are the real server-side names of the website.
Every time a new rs domain is registered, a DNS server must be configured to give out address information for that rs domain, so that users can actually find websites in that domain.

6. What type of domain names can I register at NiNet?

You can register at NiNet following domains: .rs .co.rs .org.rs edu.rs .in.rs

7. What characters are allowed in a domain name?

Regardless of the extension, all domain names must follow the same character rules... You can use letters (abc), numbers (123) and dashes/hyphens (---). Spaces are not allowed and the domain can not begin or end with a dash.

8. How much does it cost to register a domain name?

The prices of domains at NiNet are listed below:

domain suffix	price

.co.rs	12 €	intended for business user

9. Can I pay by means other than a credit card?

Yes. You can also make the payment through wire transfer, but please be aware that it may take couple of days for the money to reach our account.

10. Once my rs domain is registered, can anyone else take it?

Your rs domain is registered in your name. So long as it has active DNS entries, all the required fees are paid and it's not in breach of any law, nobody else can either use it or take it without your consent.
