A domain host is an internet service, such as, for example.com, that manages your domain name.

Domain hosts use Domain Name System (DNS) records to connect email, websites, and other web services to your domain name. Common domain hosts include, to name a few, GoDaddy, Enom, DreamHost, and 1&1.

One challenge that we sometimes face is that we get new customers who are responsible for their websites but do not know where the website is hosted. Use the following to look up the domain’s WHOIS records and domain hosting checker.
