What’s a Domain Name?

A domain name is the unique address that identifies a website on the internet, such as “yourwebsite.com.” It’s essential for establishing your online presence, creating a professional image, and making it easy for people to find and remember your website. Additionally, it helps with branding and credibility.

DNS Hosting and Forwarding

We have been asked many times why DNS records hosted by HostSG is chargeable. Many customers assume by having a domain name registered to their name, it would be hosted for free. To the contrary, domain name registration only provides you with the rights to own the domain name. However, to actively have the domain name pointed your provider’s server for services to be active, you would need the server (known as domain name server – DNS) to be up 24/7 to direct data traffic to the respective servers. Maintaining the server and the network translate to cost, thus DNS hosting is a chargeable service
