Domain Name FAQs

• What is a domain name?

  Put simply, a domain name is the name of your website. It is a memorable name that allows internet users to access your website. Every domain name is unique, which means that once you have registered a domain name, no other user can have the same domain name as you.

  A domain name is made up of letters and sometimes numbers, and can be used in conjunction with a multitude of domain name extensions, such as: .com, .org, .net, and more.

• What is a domain extension?

  A domain extension is also called a top-level domain (TLD). It is the suffix, or the last part of your domain name. Common domain extensions include: .com, .biz, .net and .info.

• Which domain extension (TLD) should I choose?

  While .com still reigns supreme as the most popular domain extension, you may consider other domain extensions depending on your website's purpose.

  For example, .org is commonly used by websites for communities, schools, and open-source projects, but is even becoming popular for business websites.

  Another popular extension is .net, which originally was most commonly used for websites related to technology or infrastructure companies, but is a well-known extension even for websites outside that niche.

  Choosing a country code top level domain may even help with your search engine rankings, so it is definitely worth considering.

  To protect your brand, it is advisable to purchase several TLDs for your domain name, such as (such as .net, .info, and the country code top-level domain for your area) and redirect them to your main website.

• What is domain locking?

  Domain Locking is a feature that helps prevent domain theft, hijacking or other fraudulent transfers of your domain name.

  When domain locking is enabled, any requests to transfer the domain to another registrar or hosting company will automatically fail, protecting your ownership of your domain. Domain Locking must first be disabled before any transfer can be processed.

  Plus, our domains come with domain locking - absolutely free!

• What is domain privacy protection?

  The Doteasy Domain Privacy Protection service protects your contact information from public view.

  Domain owners are required to provide contact information to the domain registry. This information is publicly listed in the registry's WHOIS database for the purpose of identifying the owners of each domain.

  At Doteasy, we include Domain Privacy Protection services for free. By making your contact information private, you are shielded from spam, telemarketing, and fraud.

• What is domain forwarding?

  With domain forwarding, you can send visitors to a different destination when they visit your domain name. This is a great feature when you have another website or social media page you'd like to connect to your domain name.

• What are advanced DNS controls?

  With domain names from Doteasy, you'll have complete control over your DNS settings. Feel free to add subdomains, and edit and create DNS records.

• How should I choose my domain name for my website?

  A domain name is the memorable, unique web address that visitors can type into the browser to access your website, such as www.doteasy.com. Once you have registered a domain name, no other user can have the same domain name as you.

  Choosing the right domain name is crucial because it defines your brand and can affect your search engine rankings and online presence.

  To begin, search for a website name that is easy to type and remember. The goal of your domain name is to be memorable and easy to associate with your business. Your domain name should reflect your brand and services. You could also consider including the name of your city to target local audiences.

  Be sure to choose the right domain name extension, which is the last part of a domain name (e.g. ".com," ".net," ".ca," etc.). 43% of all domains have the ".com" extension, so choosing a ".com" extension is a popular choice that visitors will be more likely to remember. However, choosing a country code domain extension, such as ".ca" for Canadians, can help you target the right audience and compete better in search engines for local searches. If your website is for a nonprofit organization, ".org" is a popular domain name extension that can reflect your website's purpose.

  At Doteasy, you can register a domain name on its own at a promo rate of $8.50/first year - and you can get a free domain name with all of our hosting plans! Eligible free domain extensions include .com, .net, .org, .us, .biz, .info, and .mobi.

• What if my desired domain name is taken?

  A domain name is the unique web address that visitors can type into the browser to access your website, such as www.doteasy.com. Once a domain name has been registered, no other user can have the same domain name. If the domain name you want has already been registered by another user, Doteasy's domain search page has a "suggestions" feature to help you choose another memorable, alternative domain name. Some other tips include adding "the" or "my" in front of your desired name, or choosing another popular domain extension, like ".net" or your country code domain extension (such as .ca, .uk, etc.).

  Remember to ensure that the domain name you want is not trademarked by another user. If the domain name has already been registered, there is a chance that the other user has trademarked the name, or has already created a brand with that name. Be sure to do some research to ensure that the name you want is free of potential infringements or legal issues. You also do not want to cause customer confusion. The last thing you want is to send your potential visitors into the hands of a competing business. Searching for your domain name can help you refine your chosen brand name.

• How much does a domain name cost?

  A domain name is the memorable, unique web address that visitors can type into the browser to access your website, such as www.doteasy.com. Once you have registered a domain name, no other user can have the same domain name as you. A domain name is typically a yearly cost, ranging from around $15/year and up. The cost of a domain name varies based on the domain extension, which is the last part of a domain name (e.g. ".com," ".net," ".ca," etc.). The central domain registry of each domain name extension controls the cost of the domain name extension, which is why the domain name costs vary based on their domain extension.

  At Doteasy, you can register a domain name on its own at a promo rate of $8.50/ first year - and you can get a free domain name with all of our hosting plans! Eligible free domain extensions include .com, .net, .org, .us, .biz, .info, and .mobi.

• Can I buy a domain name without web hosting?

  You certainly can buy a domain name without web hosting. You simply need to register the domain name you want, and you will be the owner of the domain name as long as you continue to renew your domain name registration.

  There are many benefits to buying a domain without website hosting. Every domain name is unique, which means that once you have registered a domain name, no other user can have the same domain name as you. It is beneficial to buy an available domain name to reserve for your future use.

  Buying a domain name also allows you to maintain control over the domain and protect your brand identity. For example, if you own a business but are not ready to make a website, you can purchase the domain with your business name to prevent others from buying it. This can protect your brand from being diluted or tarnished by others. Buying multiple domain extensions (i.e. the last part of a domain name like .com, .net, .ca, etc.) with your brand name is another way to protect your brand identity.

  At Doteasy, you can buy a domain name starting at $8.50/year. Domains at Doteasy also include free domain privacy protection, domain forwarding, advanced DNS controls, and a free parked page.
