Many users wonder if they can reserve a domain name without immediately contracting a web hosting service. The short answer is NO, buying a domain is not conditional on buying a hosting package, but there are some important things to remember.
1. Service independence
You can register a separate domain name (for example to secure your brand) without having an active server. In this case, the domain will remain your property, but will not display any content when accessed in the browser.
2. Why do you need hosting, though?
Although you can own the domain alone, in order for it to become functional, you need a hosting package in the following situations:
-
For a website: Without hosting, visitors will not be able to see any web pages.
-
For personalized e-mail: You will not be able to create addresses of the type name@domeniultau.ro without an active mail server.
3. Your options at the time of order
On the TicketHelp platform, when you add a domain to your cart, you have the freedom to choose:
Helpful Tip: If you choose to buy just the domain now, you can always add a hosting package later, directly from your customer account.
