Your Domain Name Is More Than Just a Name For Your Website.

A domain name is the address that people use to access your website on the internet (e.g., www.alphadoghosting.com). It’s like your website’s digital “street address.”

TLD stands for “Top-Level Domain.” It is the last part of a domain name, the segment that comes after the final dot. For example, in the domain name “example.com,” the TLD is “.com.”

To register a domain, you can search for an available domain name through a domain registrar, then purchase and register it for a specified period (usually 1 year).

Domain names are typically registered for 1 year, but you can register them for longer periods (up to 10 years) if you prefer.

Yes, you can transfer your domain to another registrar at any time, as long as it has been registered for at least 60 days.

If your domain expires, your website and email services tied to the domain may go offline. There is usually a grace period during which you can renew it, but after that, it may be available for others to register.

Yes, you can transfer ownership of a domain to someone else. This is typically done through your registrar’s control panel or by contacting their support team.

Domain privacy protection hides your personal information (like your name, address, and email) from the public WHOIS database, helping to reduce spam and protect your privacy.

DNS (Domain Name System) is what connects your domain to your website’s hosting. You may need to update DNS records if you’re changing web hosting providers, but otherwise, it’s not something you need to worry about.

If your domain isn’t working, make sure it’s properly connected to your hosting, check that it hasn’t expired, and confirm that your DNS settings are correct. If issues persist, contact your registrar or hosting provider for assistance.

Yes, you can point your existing domain to a new website or hosting provider by updating the DNS settings.
