The domain name you reserve the right to use is registered with a
company that does registration functions only.
You do not have to ever actually put web pages on a hosted computer to
retain the ownership of the domain.
When you do establish a location (IP address) for your web page(s),
you need to update the record with the domain registrar with this
computer location.
One of the functions of a domain registrar is to let the world know
when you make changes to your domain record.
OnRev is a hosting company that establishes and maintains the location
of your web page(s) and will give you the correct addresses to use for
updating your domain record. These are called DNS servers (Domain
Name Servers maintained by OnRev.
-1- contact a *domain registration* company to reserve the domain you
want if it is available
-2- contact your *hosting* company to get the name server addresses
to update your registration record
-3- follow the directions of your hosting company for uploading the
actual HTML pages to your hosting company hard drive
If the hosting company goes out of business, you lose the location of
your web site, but not the registration
If you change hosting companies, you then change the name servers on
your registration record to let the world know how to get to your new
location.
One domain can only be routed to one primary IP address.
The reason for secondary IP addresses is in case the server at the
first IP address is not available.
Your *hosting* company maintains a Name Server, which listens for
http:// requests and forwards the request to your location (web pages)
You can have 10 domain names with DNS entries all 'pointing to' the
same *hosting* company (eg OnRev)
In that case, you would have 10 home folders on the *hosting* company
server, each named as one of the 10 domains.
You could have 9 of the folders 'redirecting' traffic to the 10th
folder which contains your favorite home page.
Hope this helps.

Hi from Paris,
I've been researching information for my internet
site for some years now, and I am soon ready to
go live. I have an on-Rev licence, and am impatient
to reap the fruits of my work. I even wrote a HTML
generator in Transcript, to help me build my pages,
because I couldn't understand DreamWeaver :>)
Several years ago, when they (Who are THEY ?) opened
the suffix .fr, I immediately contacted a company who
reserves site names, and they charge me some small fee
every year, for retaining my site name. I am not sure
if site name reservation is complicated, but then I
suppose that if we all knew how to fill in a few forms,
we would never need lawyers .....
Question : What do I do when I want to use the on-Rev
site for my site location ? Must I continue paying the
yearly fee to this Site Company, or can I short-circuit
them, now that I have a lifetime with on-Rev ?
I imagine that I am not the first to ask this question.
