Frequently Asked Questions
A domain name is a human-readable address that points to a website on the internet. It's what users type in their browser to visit your website (e.g., example.com) instead of having to remember numeric IP addresses. Domain names make the internet more user-friendly and memorable.
WHOIS is a protocol that provides information about a domain name, including who owns it, when it was registered, when it expires, and contact information for the domain owner. Some of this information may be private if the domain owner has enabled privacy protection services offered by registrars.
DNS (Domain Name System) records are instructions that tell the DNS server how to handle requests for your domain. Common DNS records include A records (which point to IP addresses), MX records (for email routing), CNAME records (domain aliases), TXT records (text information, often used for verification and SPF), NS records (nameservers), and SOA records (start of authority). Proper DNS configuration is essential for websites and email to work correctly.
A good domain name should be memorable, easy to spell, relevant to your business or purpose, and preferably short. It's also beneficial to choose a common TLD like .com, .org, or .net for better recognition, though many new TLDs are now available that might better suit your specific needs. Avoid hyphens, numbers, and confusing spellings when possible.
A domain name is your website's address (like example.com), while hosting is where your website's files are stored and served from. You need both to have a functioning website. The domain points to your hosting server's IP address through DNS records.
DNS changes typically take anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours to fully propagate across the internet. This is due to DNS caching at various levels. Most changes are visible within a few hours, but it can take up to 48 hours for changes to be visible worldwide.
While we don't currently offer a domain availability checker, you can use WHOIS lookup to see if a domain is registered. If a domain shows registration information, it's taken. If it shows no records or "not found," it may be available, but you should verify with a domain registrar before attempting to register.
