Buying a domain and a hosting package serve two different purposes. A domain name is the web address (like www.yourwebsite.com) that people enter to access your site. It's essentially your website's name and identity on the internet. On the other hand, a hosting package provides the server space and resources needed to store your website's files, data, and content so that it can be accessed online. In short, the domain is your website's address, while hosting is where your website lives. Both are necessary to get your site online.

You can get a domain name for free when you purchase any of our hosting plans on an annual or longer basis, such as biannually or triennially. This offer is available for new purchases and includes the registration of your first domain name, making it easy and cost-effective to get your website online. Simply choose a qualifying hosting plan, and you'll be able to select your domain name during the setup process at no extra cost. This is a great way to save while ensuring you have everything you need to launch your site.

Domain name privacy protection is a service that keeps your personal information, such as your name, address, and contact details, hidden from the public WHOIS database. It can be worth it if you value privacy and want to prevent unwanted solicitations, spam, or potential identity theft. By masking your details, you reduce the risk of being targeted by cybercriminals or marketing companies. For most people, especially small business owners or individuals, domain privacy protection provides an extra layer of security and peace of mind.
