Netsouth provides domain name registration support to register your domain name.
This support includes determining with you the desired name and then searching
the Internic Whois site to determine if someone else already has that name. If not
then Netsouth will work with registered and setup. Follow up includes checking to
insure that the registration goes through properly.
Once the InterNIC announces that your domain name has been registered (or transferred,
if applicable), it usually takes about 24-72 hours before it is active. This is called
propagation.
