Domains

Use the domain you already own

ODHOST hosts your website and email; your domain can stay registered wherever you bought it. At checkout, choose to use your existing domain, then point it to ODHOST.

How domains and hosting fit together

The domain is your address

Registered with a registrar and renewed every year or few years.

Hosting is the building

Where your website files, databases and email live.

DNS connects them

Nameservers or DNS records tell the internet which server answers for your domain.

You stay in control

Keep the domain in your own name and account so you can always move it.

Domain registration is not sold by ODHOST today

ODHOST currently focuses on hosting. You can register a domain with any accredited registrar and connect it in a few minutes. Keeping your domain in an account you control is good practice anyway: it means your web address never depends on a single supplier.

For Indian businesses, a .in or .co.in domain signals a local presence; a .com suits international audiences. Whatever you choose, register it in the business owner’s name and turn on auto renewal and registrar two factor login.

Can I buy a domain from ODHOST?

Not at the moment. Register your domain with any registrar and connect it to ODHOST hosting.

Will my email stop working when I change nameservers?

It can, if your email is hosted elsewhere and the MX records are not recreated. Plan the change using our domain connection guide.

How long does it take for my domain to work?

Often within a few hours, sometimes up to 48. See DNS propagation.
