Domain name reservation - How does it work?
Hello,
Can anyone help me understanding how does this feature works?
Do web hosting companies create an account or is it enough to give their nameservers name to internic?
I'm a bit puzzled up.

The name servers are only part of it. If you want your page seen, the host has to create an account and all the proper entries so that the domain can be found on the server. If you just wanted to park a domain and not use it, your idea would work but you should probably have the permission of the host.

Well, i don't want a visible web page, just to reserve the name. In this case i only need the nameservers?

There are lots of places where you can park a domain for free. Feel free to use our name servers if you like.

Some hosts give them or sell them as part of reseller programs. You usually get them when you lease or colocate a dedicated server. There are also some paid and free ones like granitcanyon.

Or did you mean register your name servers? If so you can easily register a host with NetworkSolutions.

All the more reason to register it yourself and find a host that will let you use their DNS name servers to hold it.

Beware of those folks who are willing to reserve a domain name for you, and then charge you a hefty transfer fee if you're going to host somewhere else.
I had to tell internic that I wasn't going to pay, and let the invoice expire by itself, and then do the registration all over again...

I'd be glad to extend my nameservers to anyone intrested... No strings attached (I don't host commercially so I'm not looking to get you into a contract). Of course I'm not offering any space but a simple under contstruction page and dns should be enough if your just looking to hold a domain.....
then again, hypermart is free too

How does the transfer process work? That is, suppose I park a domain then letter sell/lease/give the domain to someone else. How does the other person take ownership of the domain and transfer it to thier own server?

When you buy a domain, you own it and it sits on whatever name servers you tell it. You can later change these name servers or teh entire ownership records if you sell it. Be warned however, buying a domain which is used just to sell is illegal and is called 'cybersquating'.
And yes, I have my onw box...
