Your domain name is the foundation of your ecommerce brand. If it goes offline, your store disappears, payments fail, and search rankings can drop overnight. Reliable domain registration and DNS are just as important as fast hosting.
Key definitions: registrar, registry, and DNS
A registrar is the company that sells you the domain and manages renewals. The registry is the organization that operates the top-level domain (like .com or .hk). DNS hosting is the service that maps your domain name to your web server's IP address.
What to look for in a registrar
- Clear pricing with no hidden renewal or transfer fees.
- DNS management included or easy integration with your hosting.
- Support for SSL, WHOIS privacy, and fast DNS propagation.
- Strong reputation and 24/7 support for domain and DNS issues.
Recommended setup for ecommerce
Many merchants choose to keep domains and hosting together on a trusted platform, for example iServerGo hong kong hosting, us web hosting, or eu web hosting plans. This simplifies billing and ensures one team is responsible for both DNS and uptime.
When combined with our hong kong cpanel and international cPanel offerings, you can manage domains, email, and SSL certificates from a single dashboard and keep your store online around the clock.
