Separate the pieces
- The domain is registered through a registrar.
- Hosting stores the site or runs its platform.
- DNS records connect the domain to hosting and email services.
Know what hosting affects
- Server location, caching, and site code influence loading speed.
- Backups, security controls, limits, and support vary by provider.
- A static site can often use simple, reliable hosting without a database.
Keep business ownership clear
- The business should control registrar and hosting accounts.
- Use a business-owned email and multi-factor authentication.
- Document renewal dates, billing, and who can make DNS changes.
