when choosing a registrar?<\/h2><p>The low price in the first year is only one factor, and long-term management ability is more important.<\/p><table class=\"yfg-table\"><thead><tr><th>Comparison

Domain name, server, and website are three different things<\/h2><p>The domain name is responsible for allowing users to find the website, DNS is responsible for pointing the domain name to the service, and the server is responsible for storing the website and running the program.The three can be purchased from different service providers or migrated separately.<\/p><ul><li>Changing the server usually does not require changing the domain name<\/li><li>Changing the registrar is not equal to the migration of website content<\/li><li>DNS modification errors will affect the website and mailbox at the same time<\/li><li>Account ownership should be confirmed before the start of the project<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/section><section class=\"yfg-section\"><div class=\"yfg-content\"><h2>2. How to choose a domain name<\/h2><p>Give priority to a name that is consistent with the brand and easy to dictate and enter.Avoid too long, complicated spelling, continuous hyphens, and numbers that are easy to misunderstand.International business must also check the meaning and trademark conflicts in the target language.<\/p><ul><li>Brand name takes priority over other keywords<\/li><li>Minimize spelling ambiguity<\/li><li>Check social media user names synchronously<\/li><li>Check trademarks and historical usage before registration<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/section><section class=\"yfg-section\"><div class=\"yfg-content\"><h2>3. How to choose common suffixes<\/h2><p>.com is suitable for most commercial websites; country or region suffixes are suitable for specific markets;.cn is suitable for domestic business but involves real-name and filing; new industry suffixes can supplement brand expressions, but it is not recommended to choose unfamiliar suffixes just because they are cheap.<\/p><ul><li>The main domain name gives priority to the suffix familiar to the user<\/li><li>Register similar suffixes for brand protection when necessary<\/li><li>Don't let multiple domain names display duplicate websites<\/li><li>Alternate domain name unified 301 jump to the main domain name<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/section><section class=\"yfg-section\"><div class=\"yfg-content\"><h2>4. Registration information and real name<\/h2><p>The name, email address, mobile phone number and corporate information of the registrant should be true and valid.It is recommended to use the main body of the enterprise and the public management mailbox for the enterprise domain name to avoid binding only the private contact information of a departing employee.<\/p><ul><li>The registered mailbox should be available for a long time<\/li><li>Keep real-name audit records<\/li><li>Update in time after the contact person changes<\/li><li>Privacy protection does not mean that you can fill in false information<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/section><section class=\"yfg-section\"><div class=\"yfg-content\"><h2>5. What is the composition of the domain name fee<\/h2><p>The fee may include the first year of registration, renewal, privacy protection, premium domain name, redemption, transfer, and taxes.Some popular names are premium domain names, and the registration and renewal prices may be different.<\/p><ul><li>Check the renewal instead of just the first year price<\/li><li>Confirm whether to automatically attach value-added services<\/li><li>Record the payment subject and invoice requirements<\/li><li>Avoid the domain name entering a high-priced redemption period<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/section><section class=\"yfg-section\"><div class=\"yfg-content\"><h2>6. Renewal, redemption, and deletion cycle<\/h2><p>After the domain name expires, it usually goes through the grace period, redemption period, and deletion phase, but the rules for different suffixes are different.Don't rely on the last day to operate, it is recommended to renew the fee in advance and set multiple reminders.<\/p><ul><li>Automatic renewal of important domain names is turned on<\/li><li>There must be an alternate reminder when the payment method expires<\/li><li>Check the expiration status at least 30 days in advance<\/li><li>Confirm the email address before the domain name is disabled<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/section><section class=\"yfg-section\"><div class=\"yfg-content\"><h2>7. Domain name transfer and delivery<\/h2><p>Before the transfer, you need to unlock the domain name, obtain the authorization code, and confirm the registered email address.Some domain names may not be transferred again within 60 days after the new registration, transfer, or modification of the holder.<\/p><ul><li>Export all DNS records before transfer<\/li><li>Do not operate during peak business

be modified according to the rules.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>Will the website disappear immediately after the domain name expires?<\/summary><p>Usually the grace period will be entered first,

it take a few days for the domain name transfer?<\/summary><p>The registrar needs to complete authorization, notification, and security waiting.Before transferring, make sure that the DNS remains
