WEBSITE INSIGHTS
Choosing and managing a domain name
Your domain is the address people use to find your website and may also be part of your email addresses.

Choose a clear address
Consider a name that is easy to spell and relates to your business. Check that it is available and that it does not create confusion with another organisation.
Keep ownership and renewals clear
Know who the registrant is, where the domain is managed and when it renews. Keep account access and recovery details current.
Treat DNS changes carefully
A website move may involve DNS records. Email and verification records can be separate, so check them before making changes. For hosting and domain enquiries, visit Lightning Web Hosting.
