RDUonline will register your desired Domain Name for you. Registering your desired www.domain runs $35/year.  You will be the owner of the domain, we simply do the paperwork for you.  If you already own your domain, we'll conduct the transfer of the DNS infomation and your public html files for you, usually within 24 hours of notice.  We will also manage domain renewals for you.  It's that simple.

If you already have a domain, we can help you relocate from your present location.  Or, you can transfer it yourself.  Opening a hosting account starts the process, and once your account is active, visit the appropriate InterNIC registrar and transfer your domain name.  We recommend using DomainBank.net for registration.  Register Your Domain Here

We would be happy to assist if you have any questions. (info@rduonline.com)

We work with a number of marketing and design firms who provide anything and everything, from basic site design to complete maintenance.  We bill you only for hosting, and give you full control to negotiate the design and maintenance of your site directly with the designers involved. 

Who has their sites hosted on a Macintosh?  Anyone can.  If you develop on a Mac, or Windows, or Unix, or OS/2, you can have your site served here.  Our only editorial limitation is in the content of your site.  We do not host pornography or sites which offer "Warez", unlicensed/pirated copies of commercial software.  If you need clarification on our polices, please review our Policies page or contact us: info@rduonline.com.

And moving is pretty painless; the basic website can be moved over in a matter of minutes if you have your files handy (links and features may need some fine-tuning by your web site designer).  With the exception of some eCommerce and database solutions, nearly all of the files are identical regardless of your computer system. We would be happy to generate a copy of your existing site for you before you move to our servers. Just let us know. If you would like to review some basic concepts about the Web, site design or hosting, click here.

The Internet is truly emancipating.  It doesn't matter what kind of computer you use (Macintosh, Windows, DOS or Unix), we can host your site.  Concerned about security and privacy?  Please see our policies page.
