forwarded to another website.

forwarding, this function applies to subdomains of the domain.

address bar, regardless of which page you are on.

purposes. The “Domain Under Construction” page will be a generic
page with no customization available. The Domain For Sale page will
be customizable.

authority of a subdomain to another user.

Tucows will send a daily request for payment to the Reseller’s billing contact
