What is a domain name?
Domain names are words used to identify specific organizations or computers on the
Internet. The domain name contains at least two words separated by a period. For example:
Chibardun Telephone's domain is chibardun.net. Most domain names end with .com
.net or .org. Letters, numbers and a hyphen are the only valid
characters that can be used in a domain name. The number of
characters you can use in your domain name is a total of 67,
including the extension .COM, .NET, .ORG. "www." and http://www. are
not considered part of your domain.

- How do I register or move a domain name?
There are a handful of companies that domains can be registered through. We use and
recommend Network Solutions.
The cost for a domain name is $25-$35 which covers the registration fee for the
first year. You will be billed from the registration company each year thereafter. Before you
register a domain you want to ask yourself, "Who do I want to host the domain?"
The company that hosts the domain is the company that carries the traffic and stores the
web site. How you register the domain will depend on who is hosting your domain.
If you would like to register a new domain please
contact us. To check the availability of a domain name go to
Whois
on Network Solution's web site.
If you have a domain that you would like to move to CTC Net, the following
information must appear in your domain record:
Technical Contact: NIC Handle: 31573849I
Primary Domain Server Name: ns1.chibardun.net
Primary Domain Server Address: 216.41.192.60
Secondary Domain Server Name: ns2.chibardun.net
Secondary Domain Server Address: 65.222.44.31

How do I upload files to my domain web site?
FTP settings:
- The first step is to establish a connection to the Internet. (We can't
stress this one enough!)
- Open your FTP program. If you do not have an FTP Program, WS_FTP LE available
here.
- Enter your domain name (include the .com
extension) in the Host Name/Address field.
- Type your username in the User
ID field. Type the password that was assigned with your username in the
Password field then click the box in front of Save Password.
-
Click OK.
This will connect you to the web server where you will upload your files to.
- Once you are connected to the web server, the FTP window will be
divided in two. The Local System is the files on your computer and the Remote System is
your files on our web server.
- Click to highlight the web page files on your computer (the Local System) that
you want to upload to the web server
then click on the arrow that points to the Remote System to upload the files.
Upload all files to the www folder.
The file name for the first page of your web site MUST be index.html.
Troubleshooting:
If you can't view your web site, make sure that the file for the first page
of your site is named index.html (all lowercase letters). Also, all files should
be in the www folder on the Remote System.
HTML is case sensitive. This means that if your file is called: Picture.jpg,
your URL must be typed exactly the same way. Many people store all of their
files in lower case letters to make things easier to remember.
Make sure your picture files end with either .jpg or .gif to be viewable on
the Internet.
