Yes. We will develop your site on our servers and you will be able to access it with a temporary domain name. Then when you are ready to go live, you will point your domain name to our Domain Name Servers (DNS) and then all the traffic to your domain name will be routed to your new site on our servers. If you don't know how to do this, you can just speak with the customer service at your domain name registrar (the company where you bought the domain). Alternatively, you can ask us to manage ...

Very carefully. If you haven't selected your company name, finding a domain name should play a big part in determining what your final organization name is, because it doesn't do any good to have a great name but someone already owns the obvious domain name (which also means the name is not unique). You need an organization name with an available domain name if possible. Here are a couple of points to keep in mind:
It should be obvious what sort of site it points to.
It should contai ...

Yes. When you buy a domain name, you are actually just leasing it, with the option to renew after it expires. It is easy to purchase and manage your domain name with any respectable registrar. However, after a period of time, it's also easy to forget to keep your contact information updated with that registrar. So when the lease for the domain name expires, the registrar won't be able to contact you to remind you to renew and you will lose your domain name. And if someone else buys your domain ...

Yes, but why? Technically speaking, you can point as many domain names as you want to your site. You just need to let us know so that we can "receive" them on our server and set them up as "aliases" to your particular account. We charge a very small monthly fee to cover our costs. See our fees chart for details. This is a good idea if you own the .com, .net, .org, etc. versions of a single name.
However, just because it's possible to have multiple domain names pointing to the same site d ...

Your site has a shortcut that allows you to view your website on our servers, even though your domain name is still pointed to another server. When you first signed up you selected a shortcut name. You can edit this in your Admin Control Panel under "Edit Site" > "Site Info" if you want to. Once you know what this is, you can view your site at that shortcut. If your shortcut is "goodbusiness" then your url will be:
http://goodbusiness.gutensite.com

Our Domain Name Servers are:
NS1.GUTENSITE.COM
NS2.GUTENSITE.COM
Note: Please be sure to notify us of the domains which you are pointing to our servers. We will need to confirm that the server is setup to receive these domain names and point them to your site.
Most people will simply point their entire domain to our servers by using our DNS addresses. To point your domain name to our server, log in to your account at the Domain Reg ...
