What are the free value added services that come with every registration and transfer?
- Domain For Sale" or "Under Construction" designation at your URL

How can I access and manage all the Free Value Added Services?
When you log into your Control Panel you have access to all the Free Value Added services. You can update and make changes to your domain at anytime.
Can my new domain names point to a Website I already have?
Yes, using your password to access your online Control Panel you can choose an existing address (URL) to redirect all the traffic going to your new domain (ie www.yournewdomain.com will automatically send visitors to www.preexistingsite.com - or you can even point the traffic to a subdirectory like www.preexistingsite.com/sales/weeklyspecial)
You can also choose "frame forwarding" which will allow the display of your new domain URL on the address bar of the site you are being forwarded to - as opposed to the old domain URL showing up after you are forwarded to that site.
What is URL Forwarding?
URL forwarding is a tool which allows you to forward your domain name to an existing website. More information is available on the URL Forwarding information page.
What is Frame Forwarding?
Frame forwarding is a form of URL forwarding. For more details, view the Frame Forwarding information page.
How do I setup my FREE "Under Construction" page?
Anybody can setup an "Under Construction" page by simply changing their nameservers to CUSTOMER.BUYDOMAINS.COM and CUSTOMER2.BUYDOMAINS.COM. This can be setup through the BuyDomains.com Control Panel. Please make sure you spell the names correctly. Any domain with these nameservers will automatically receive an "Under Construction" page. The free Under Construction page is NOT a managed DNS service and BuyDomains.com will NOT add ANY customized DNS entries for this domain.
If you wish to use the BuyDomains.com FREE E-Mail Forwarding, you can also change your nameservers to URL1.BUYDOMAINS.COM and URL2.BUYDOMAINS.COM and configure E-Mail Forwarding. Then submit a support request to have www.yourdomain.com configured as a CNAME record pointing to PARKED.BUYDOMAINS.COM.
**Since the "Under Construction" page and URL or Frame Forwarding both require use of the WWW record for your domain, it is not possible to combine these value added services for a single domain.

How do I setup my FREE "Domain For Sale" page?
Anybody can setup a "Domain For Sale" page by simply changing their nameservers to BUY-THIS-DOMAIN.NET and DOMAIN-IS-FOR-SALE.NET. This can be setup through the BuyDomains.com Control Panel. Please make sure you spell the names correctly. Any domain with these nameservers will automatically receive a "Domain For Sale" page. This is NOT a managed DNS service and BuyDomains.com will NOT add ANY customized DNS entries for this domain.
How do I list my domain for sale in the Free Domain Listing Section?
When you change your nameservers to BUY-THIS-DOMAIN.NET and DOMAIN-IS-FOR-SALE.NET, your domain is automatically added to the database. Customers who search for domains can find your domain and contact you regarding the purchase of your name.
Can I have email forwarding with the domains I register?
Yes, via your online Control Panel you can choose an existing email address you have to send all email traffic sent to your new domain(s). So for example if you choose your forwarding address to be me@aol.com all traffic sent to me@newdomain.com, sales@newdomain.com, info@newdomain.com and any unlimited number of other addresses you decide to use will all automatically be forwarded to your AOL email account or any other email address you choose.
What if I don't want all my email in a single mailbox?
A number of third party programs exist to deal with just this situation. These programs can process email and direct it to other recipients or take other actions based on any number of criteria, including the recipient address. A list of some of the many programs that do this can be found at http://tucows.tierranet.com/checkers95.html.
How long can I "park" and "forward" my domains at no charge?
As long as you keep your registration current at BuyDomains.com you can park and forward your domains for free.
Do I need IP addresses for my "name servers" on the registration form?
You just need to put the domain name servers of your ISP or hosting company - the name servers will automatically resolve to the appropriate "IP address". If you don't have this information just leave those spaces blank and you can add the info later via your Control Panel. Or you can leave the default setting and use our forwarding, email, parking, or hosting services if you so choose.
