Frequently Asked Questions
What is a domain name?
A domain name is the web address or URL where visitors find your site. A custom domain gives your site a professional look, strengthens your brand, and helps visitors find you on the web.
What can I do with a domain name?
With a domain name, you can direct customers, prospective customers, and friends to anywhere you want on the web like a website, social page, blog, or ecommerce store. A domain name is often the most important part of your brand.
What domain should I buy?
We offer hundreds of domains from the classic .COM and .NET to country specific domains like .US and .CA to newer domain extensions like .CLUB, .ME, .NINJA, and .SPACE. It’s often a good idea to register more than one domain extension to protect your brand or idea.
I have a domain name at a different company. Can I transfer it to DreamHost?
Yes, DreamHost specializes in domain names. You can transfer your current domains to DreamHost and also take advantage of our Domain Privacy Protection that’s included free.
I want to use DreamHost for domains and web hosting, but my current domain name is registered at my old hosting company. Can I use it with DreamHost? Y
Yes. You can either connect the existing domain or transfer it. Connecting the domain keeps it at your current host but lets you use it with DreamHost. Transferring the domain lets you manage both your domain and hosting at DreamHost.
We recommend transferring your domain to DreamHost, so you can manage your entire website in one location.
What is Domain Privacy and why is it important? A
Also called private registration, Domain Privacy protects your personal information from being shown in the publicly available Registration Data Directory Services (Domain Registration Data/RDAP).
ICANN, the governing body for many domain names, requires that registrars collect accurate contact information from all domain registrants. In the past, this information was published in full through the public Domain Registration Data system. Today, under ICANN’s updated Registration Data Policy, many personal details are automatically redacted by default, but some information may still appear publicly
How much does DreamHost Domain Privacy cost? I
Compare us to our competitors who charge $14/yr. and more for private registration, (even more than the price of the domain!) and see how much you can save by registering your domains at DreamHost.
Many of our customers save hundreds of dollars each year in private registration costs by transferring existing domains from their current domain registrar or hosting company to DreamHost. Over time, these fees really add up, and consolidating all your domains at DreamHost can help save you money in the long term.
