Domain Names

What is a domain name?
A domain name or URL is the address that your site will be located (For example bgca.org is the Boys & Girls Clubs of America web site address).

How do I get one?
If you don't currently have a registered domain name, EZ Site Launch will help you obtain one. The last step of the purchase process will ask if you have a domain name or not. Simply select No and you will be presented with an area where you can search for available Domain Names. Once you find one you want that's available, just enter into the appropriate field.

What is the best name for our organization?
We recommend you select a bgcyourcity.org or bgcyourcity.net. For example if you are a club in Reno, NV – we recommend bgcreno.org as the domain you select. If the name you want isn't available, we will help you find one that is.

What if the name I want isn't available?
We will contact you via e-mail if the name you want isn't available. We will discuss potential names and then we will research availability and get back to you with some options.

If I don't have a domain name, how much does the domain name cost and who is it registered to?
A domain name is FREE for 1 year. It is registered in the name of EZ SiteLaunch allowing us to renew the name annually. After domain name expires renewal fees of $35 will automatically be charged to your account for 1-year domain registration.

I already have a domain name, can I use it and what are the costs?
Yes, of course. However to use an existing domain name with a bgcWeb template, you will have to modify your DNS to point to an EZ SiteLaunch Name Server. A more detailed explanation on how to modify your DNS will be sent to you after account set-up. There is no cost for this.
