As soon as you click on the link in the e-mail and confirm the transfer, it should be executed in a matter of minutes.
.com, .net, .org, .biz, .info and other extensions

In short, VPS utilizes virtualization technology which enables “fragmentation” of a single powerful server into several virtual ones.

The word “private” indicates that those resources are reserved for you, therefore, you’re not sharing memory, CPU power or data with other users.

Why do I need a domain?
In the world of business, having a domain has become just as common as having a telephone number. If there is no domain name displayed on your company’s advertising and business cards, the clients that prefer to browse products and services online, which is widely spread nowadays, might skip your content if they are unable to easily find that information. Nowadays, a registered domain and a high-quality website is a business priority, since it’s a very cheap way to present a company name and information to the general public in a way that is simple and quick.
Individuals also want to have their own domain for private or family websites and various activities, but often just to be able to create a private e-mail address on their own domain. If you’re an author, artist, activist, volunteer, or if you perform another kind of activity under your name, registering a domain that carries your full name will create a unique address that you can use for promotion.
A good domain name and a related e-mail address inspire confidence in users, so it’s quite obvious that an imaginary company “My Company Ltd.” would use a domain such as mycompany.com for their websites and an e-mail such as info@mycompany.com for communicating with their clients.

This is mostly due to the DNS cache of the visitor’s Internet provider, but sometimes the reason is that the pages that are stored in the Internet browser cache are those that are displayed, so your browser cache needs to be cleared.
