20 REASONS FOR CHOOSING INDOM

Real domain expertise

REGISTRATION

1. INDOM is a fully functional ICANN accredited registrar. Don't leave your domains in the hands of a reseller or a proxy. As an ICANN accredited registrar, INDOM registers and manages your domain names directly. We, as your chosen registrar, are directly responsible for your domain names. And we are in full control of them, not some third-party reseller using someone else's registration services.

2. INDOM registers the world's main domains within the hour, guaranteed. 24/24 and 7/7. INDOM has a direct connection to the registries (the entity in charge of managing an Internet suffix) and can therefore register, renew or update your domain names as fast as they will allow. A real edge when you need a website to go live at short notice or emails to work without delay.

3. INDOM is able to register and manage all domain names, whatever the suffix. If necessary, INDOM can provide a local contact. Don't risk loosing some of your domains because no-one inside your company knows who registered them or when they are up for renewal. Through INDOM, consolidate all your domain names with the same registrar for greater safety and reduced risk.

MANAGEMENT

4. INDOM will always check before deleting or deactivating a domain name, so you don't have to. You never know, the name you've just forgotten to renew might be the most important one in your company's portfolio. A disaster… unless you're an INDOM customer of course. We run a double checking system on those names which you've identified with us as crucial, helping to make sure they're not accidentally deleted.

5. INDOM lets you defer payment for up to 60 days and choose your preferred payment method. We know paying for Internet services is not always easy in companies where accounting may be in a different department, sometimes in a different office. As an INDOM preferred customer, your orders are processed as soon as we receive them and without waiting for payment. A monthly payment recap is made available upon request.

SUPPORT

6. INDOM can be reached by phone and our offices are open. In the digital age, we think direct contact is more important than ever. Come and talk to us in our offices in Paris, Strasbourg and Sophia-Antipolis. And if you don't have time to come and see us, your INDOM customer representative is never more than a phone call away.

7. INDOM's staff are trained legal and technical experts. Whatever your domain name problem, as an INDOM customer you will always have access to the best advice. Our customer representatives can help solve your problem, be it of legal, technical, or of administrative nature. They can even help determine the best domain name strategy to give your website maximum search engine visibility. Being able to rely on the right kind of help means a lot when trying to restore a malfunctioning website or recover a domain that's just expired.

SECURITY

8. INDOM will always verify a request. Your security is our responsibility. When you contact us, we first check whether you really are you. Our priority, helping you fight domain name fraud. As an INDOM customer, you can set and modify your own security levels. Grant tiered access to people according to your own requirements and prevent unauthorised access to your domain name portfolio.

9. INDOM will always check incoming transfers. Technical status is verified and replicated on INDOM's own systems. If you wish to take advantage of INDOM's DNS servers for the names you are transferring to us, we will recover the zonefile (which contains the name's crucial technical specs) and pre-configure our DNS servers accordingly. The transfer process then becomes a smooth transition with no risk of disruption to websites or emails.

10. INDOM protects you against transfer fraud. Your domain names are valuable. People may try to steal them. But not from INDOM. The names we manage are locked to protect them against fraudulent transfer attempts. And any request to transfer a name from INDOM's management will be checked and validated by us.

TECH

11. INDOM's state-of-the-art DNS servers give your websites optimal worldwide coverage. EOur professional DNS server configuration is included in your domain name management package. So you don't pay any extra to use one of the most advanced DNS set-ups around. With machines in Europe, the USA and Asia, our DNS service makes any domain name hosted by INDOM as easy to reach in Hong-Kong as it is in Los Angeles. Our distributed system is extremely robust, shielding your domains – and the websites and emails behind them – more effectively from computer failure or even attacks and hack attempts.

12. INDOM's DNS can be used as secondary or tertiary servers. EWhat if you already run your own DNS servers but still want to benefit from INDOM's advanced servers? At no extra cost, simply specify our servers as secondary or even tertiary to yours and increase the security and performance of your DNS architecture.

13. INDOM develops and builds its own proprietary systems. Every domain name management system and tool that INDOM provides has been developed in-house by our own team of engineers, experts in both in the best computer technologies and in domain name management. The benefit is clear: INDOM does not rely on others to provide you with the tools you need. And should you have specific requirements, our systems can be tailored to suit. Add to that the increase in security gained from our use of computer architecture and languages which are less prone to hack attacks.

PRICING

14. INDOM's prices are "all-inclusive". With us, there are no hidden extras. The price you pay gives you access to a comprehensive domain management package. Change contacts, redirect your domains, configure zonefiles... As often as you like, whenever you need to, at no extra cost.

15. INDOM helps you save money while making your names more secure. Even though they are normally registered for just one year, domain names can be registered over longer periods. Register or renew your domains for 5 years with INDOM and only pay for 4. Not only do you save money but you also cut down on your own management costs as you won't have to keep track of your names on a year-to-year basis. The risk of forgetting to renew a crucial name is also lower.

16. INDOM gives you volume discounts. If you need to register large numbers of domain names, to protect the launch of a new product for example, or simply to increase your Internet footprint, talk to us. We can offer discounts of up to 50% depending on quantity. We can also help register the typo versions of your brand and domain names, making it harder for others to benefit from your brand image.

SERVICES

17. INDOM provides exclusive domain name services. Need to make an anonymous domain name purchase? Desperate to transfer a name for which you no longer have login details or validation codes? Want to know when someone registers a name containing your brand or a term close to it? As a dedicated domain name company, INDOM is much more than a registrar. We can service your domain name needs, no matter how unique they may seem.

18. INDOM gives you a single point of contact. Always knowing who to talk to makes your life easier. That's why at INDOM, you get a dedicated customer representative who knows your needs as well as he knows domain names. Support staff work with your customer representative to ensure than even when he's on holiday, you get the same level of service.

TRUST

19. INDOM is a sustainable society. French limited company with a capital of € 400 000 and owned by Group NBT, the European leader in the market for domain names, protection of digital identities and hosting, INDOM manages since 1997 the domain names of large companies and legal professionals. INDOM sits on the Gnso Council (Generic Names Supporting Organization), the Icann (Internet for Assigned Names and Numbers) decision-making body.

20. INDOM's customer contract is your guarantee. When you choose INDOM, our domain management contract lays out in detail the level and type of services you are getting. Of course, you remain free to transfer management of your domains to another registrar at any time. But offering you, our customer, a contract is the best way to provide you with peace of mind domain name management because you know what you exactly can expect from us at all times.
