Domain Reservation

Do you want to reserve a domain for future use? Idiom can handle it. The charge is $30 setup + $1/month (does not include InterNic registration fee). The setup charge can be applied towards the setup charge for virtual hosting.

When we reserve a domain we will forward email sent to that domain to you. Unlike virtual hosting, all email must go to the same address.

Change IP address type

There are two IP addressing schemes for dialup users: static/manual and server/dynamic. The advantage of static IP addresses is that if you're disconnected you can reconnect and resume using your extablished TCP connections (like telnet to your shell). The disadvantage of a static IP address is that only one person can use the account at the same time.

The charge for changing from static to dynamic addressing is $15. The charge for changing from dynamic to static addressing is $30.
