I want to find the company that is hosting a particular domain name. I know about using whois, but if the person has a private registered domain name, or if they have their own customer servers, then how can i find out who is hosting their domain name?
You can use http://www.whoishostingthis.com/
What should be the maximum length of my domain name and what characters can be used in it.
67 characters long including the top level domain (4 characters – .com, .net, .biz)
The characters you can use for the domain name are letters, numbers, hypens. The special characters such as exclamation, underscore cannot be used.
I think Moniker gives you free privacy. If you do a bulk purchase (6 domains or more) at Go Daddy, they give you free privacy (Domains by Proxy) as well. I highly recommend using Go Daddy though, because they actually answer their phones and their customer service is by far, the best in the industry.
Cheap is great until you have a problem. You get what you pay for and Go Daddy is still relatively inexpensive.
I have a Yahoo Small Business website, and numerous email addresses connected with that website, and don’t want to lose them, because I like having all my email accounts in one place.
However, over the years, my interests have changed, and I want to create a website with a different domain name. How can I change the name without losing the email associated with the old domain.
Easy. Simply work through your old domain registrar to "forward" your old domain to your new domain. This creates an "alias" for your accounts. You MUST maintain your old domain name for this to work. An alias does NOT work if you let your old domain name lapse. In essence, when anyone tries to access an old domain address, they are forwarded to your new domain name address. The annual fee of X dollars for your old domain name is a small price to pay for forwarding everything from the old to the new WITHOUT telling anyone the NEW domain name and address. This is very much like forwarding your mail when you move from one house to another, except as long as you pay the annual fee, it goes on for as long as the old domain name is "valid". Case on point, my ISP. They changed their name when they were bought out. What used to be domain A became domain B. I can use either my address at domain A as well as my name at domain B to access my account. So, on web pages elsewhere where I re3ference my email at domain A is forwarded to domain B as long as my ISP maintains the old domain name. I trust my ISP will maintain the old domain name as valid so I do not have to backtrack to everywhere my old address was to update each link to the new domain name address. If my ISP drops the old domain name, then anyone attempting to contact ME will result in failure. It all only works as long as my ISP maintains both addresses and links the old domain address to the new domain address.

i have a domain name related to fitness by the name www.fashionandfit.com .how can i register in all the search engines?
Hi Kravisa,
It looks like you’re already indexed in Google, Yahoo!, Bing, AltaVista, Lycos, AOL, etc. If you’re already indexed by all these search engines you can do yourself more harm then good trying to submit to all of them again. The other will eventually pick you up.
To answer your question however, this is how you can do it manually.
Google
http://www.google.com/addurl/
Yahoo! Search Engine
http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit/
Yahoo! Directory $299 yearly (are you listed here?)
http://docs.yahoo.com/info/suggest/submit.html
Bing
http://www.bing.com/webmaster/SubmitSitePage.aspx
DMOZ (didn’t see you here…)
http://www.dmoz.org/add.html
Those are the Major ones and how you can submit to them manually.
Another option would be to use a submission service like Submit Express. They allow you to submit your site to 20+ search engines for free.

Traffic Bug is a piece of software that does automated, but controlled, submissions to search engines, directories and rss feeds. Just go to yahoo and do a search for Traffic Bug…or Google it…you’ll find it
Anyway, there are a few options for you but remember you’re already indexed.
Hope it helps

How does an American company register a domain name in China?
My company would like to obtain the rights of one of our employee’s domain in China.
Haven’t been following it but up until fairly recently anyone anywhere was able to register a dot .CN domain (China’s country code Top Level Domain) but then the .CN registry went and did somerthing – not sure what – and many International registrars stopped offering .CN registrations.There’s been an enormous drop – like 45 % down – in the number of registered .CN domain names.
Having said this,I’m sure it’s still pretty straightforward registering a .CN name …try http://www.asiaregistry.com or better still try the registrar your employee registered the name with.
The simplest transfer of the domain would be for your employee to hand over his/her account at the registrar and change all the ownership and contact details.Alternatively,your company should register an account with the same registrar or another registrar offering .CN domains and then go through the domain transfer process.Your registrar will have guidelines on how to have the name transferred.

Yahoo actually has reasonably priced and easy to use domain hosting:
http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/domains/
It’s about 10 bucks a year and the configuration and maintenance is quite easy.
There are free hosting places about, but you’ll end up with a subdomain (e.g. yoursite.somethingsomething.com) or have to go through and sign yourself up for ads.
