Why is doing a domain name correctly so important?
Your domain name is the beginning of your website, it’s the name you print on all your stationery, it’s the name you tell everybody and more importantly it’s the biggest part of your email address.
You can go to many many website’s and register a domain name and some of them are very cheap, even free, but just because it’s registered doesn’t mean it’s website ready or that you are going to start receiving email.
To receive email the DNS (domain name server) has to hold MX (mail exchange) records about the mailservers you are using. Some registrars do this automatically when you register the name, others give it to you as a control panel option, some others will even charge you for it.
To serve your website the DNS needs to know where you are hosting the website. Some registrars only allow you to host it with them, others will only allow web forwarding while the best registrars will allow you to change to different name servers so the DNS can be controlled somewhere else.
Get it done by a professional, do it once, do it right and then leave it alone. It’s one less thing to worry about. Design Conscious can do it for you.
