What is a domain name?

Your domain name is your address on the web — it’s how people find and identify your business online. It’s where your online presence begins.

What’s the difference between a domain and web hosting?

A domain is the name people type to reach your site. Web hosting is the storage and back end that powers it. You can register a domain without hosting, but you can’t host a site without a domain.

Can I transfer a domain I registered somewhere else?

Absolutely. If your domain is with another provider like GoDaddy, you can transfer it to HostPhenix — and you won’t lose any time you’ve already paid for.

What’s the difference between .com, .net and .org?

They’re all top-level domains (TLDs). .com is the most recognized, but there are now hundreds of options like .biz, .us, .dev and .xyz — pick the one that fits your brand.

How does registering a domain work?

Search to check availability, then register the name to make it yours. Domains renew yearly, so it stays yours for as long as you keep renewing.

Can I register more than one domain?

Yes — register as many as you like and manage them all from one simple HostPhenix client portal.

Can I change a domain after I register it?

Registrations are final once paid, so double-check the spelling. You’re never obligated to renew a domain you no longer want.

Can a domain include numbers?

Yes — domains can include letters, numbers and hyphens.
