What’s the difference?
A domain name provides you an exclusive Internet name which allows you to link to your website and it also allows you to obtain your own exclusive email address.
Having a server that run web and email services is not enough, all servers are identified with an Internet Protocol (IP) address which are all numbers, for eg. 120.60.30.30. However, we do not wish to tell our friends to visit our website at https://120.60.30.30, because that will be too tedious, hence we use domain names.
With a domain name, you can perfectly distinguish yourself and share your website address with everyone more conveniently. Try this then, “Hi Josh, check out my website at https://www.quape.net“.
Now that you have registered a domain name, why is it not working? It is leading to nowhere at the present stage, as a domain is simply a Internet address that is being represented. You require a server for your domain to direct to. Depending on individual needs, the server can be setup to serve various services such as web services, email services, database services etc.
Quape's hosting account provide will allow you to publish your webpages, use your exclusive name to send and receive emails, and host database driven websites. In order to run your website and email, all our servers are equipped with the appropriate services best for our customers.
Right now at Quape, if you purchase only a domain name, but do not require a web hosting account, we can offer you domain forwarding and email forwarding, simply write in to us with just a click. (Remember to edit)
