Web hosting stores your website’s files, ensuring it's accessible 24/7, with various options impacting speed and security.

What is a domain name (top-level domain, ccTLD), and how do domains and whois proxy work?
Domain names are the unique addresses that identify a website on the internet. In other words, a domain name is the address people type into a web browser address bar to find your website.
- Domain name types
-
Top-level domain (TLD) refers to a domain name’s suffix or last part (e.g., .com, .net, .org).
Country code top-level domain (ccTLD): is a two-letter domain extension, such as .us or .ph, assigned to a country, geographic location or territory.
A whois proxy, or domain privacy service, allows individuals or businesses to hide customer contact in the public whois database. Instead of displaying the actual registrant’s information, the proxy service substitutes its own, ensuring the domain owner’s privacy. Active whois proxy prevents registrant email to receive spam like unwanted marketing/advertisement emails.
