This lets you know that the Domain Name webwindpro.com is already in use. You cannot use that as a Domain Name.

If, however, you enter 98HJTI as the Domain Name and submit the query, the following data will display:

No match for "98HJTI.COM".

You could, therefore, select that as a Domain Name if you wanted it.

Ensuring that the Domain Name you want is not already in use is the first step in acquiring a Domain Name.

Technically, you do not need a Domain Name in order to have a web site. Many companies (including WebWind Productions) will be happy to host a site that does not have a Domain Name. The primary difference is in convenience for users. Rather having to type an address of www.hostname.com/yourname/ people can simply type in www.yourname.com. This also saves space when you want to include your web site address on business cards.

Currently the cost to register a Domain Name is $10.25 for the first year. If your site is then hosted by WebWind, this fee is credited to your account.
