Questions
What is a domain name?
A domain name is an identifier for a website, similar to a postal address for a house. It has at least two parts: a top-level domain (the part after the dot, like .com) and a second-level domain (the part before the dot). It can also include a third-level domain (like help in help.hover.com).
Do I need a domain name?
If you want a professional web presence, yes. While some providers offer subdomains within their own domain name, having your own domain name is more professional. You can also forward your domain to social media or YouTube. It gives your audience a memorable address where they know they can find you.
How long can I register my domain for?
Most domain names can be registered for 1-10 years. You can hold onto your domain name indefinitely by renewing it. Many people purchase a 1-year registration and then turn on auto-renew so their domain automatically renews every year.
How does domain registration work?
Domain registration works similarly to property rentals. You claim the domain as your own for a certain period (typically 1-10 years). Once registered, you can continue to renew it year after year to hold onto it indefinitely.
Which domain extension should I choose?
All domain extensions are neutral in Google's eyes; a .COM has no SEO advantage over .ART or other extensions. Choose based on your brand type: .COM or .ORG for traditional/corporate brands, or niche-specific extensions like .DESIGN, .ART, or .STORE. Hover offers over 300 domain extensions to choose from.
