DNS, Value Hosting, and Basic Hosting are services you can add to your existing Sonic.net account for domain and web hosting. For each of these services, the domain name in question must be registered. Domain Name Registration is available through Sonic.net.

Details

• Hosting IP

  Basic Hosting includes Static IP hosting. This means that additional domain names can be pointed to the same web site without having to purchase an additional web hosting service. Multiple domain names with DNS service can use the same Basic Hosting website.

  Example: www.example1.com has Basic Hosting service. The owner of this domain registers example1.biz and would like for people to be able to get to his website using the new name. This costs only $1.95 more, as the new domain can be directed to the Static IP of example1.com.
