Domain Names, plainly.
A domain name is the address customers type to find your business online. It is leased annually from a domain registry through a registrar. We are an ICANN-accredited registrar, so you register through us at wholesale plus a small management fee, not the markup the consumer registrars charge.
Two things matter when registering a domain: the name itself (memorable, short, matches your brand), and the privacy of the registration. Every domain owner is in the public WHOIS database by default. That means home addresses and personal phone numbers go on the public internet. We include WHOIS privacy on every domain at no extra cost.
Beyond the registration, a domain needs DNS records to actually do anything: A and AAAA records to point at your website, MX records to receive email, TXT records for SPF and DKIM, and so on. Our dashboard manages all of these in one place and connects to your File.Business email, website, and verification services automatically.
