REGISTER DOMAIN

Every website on the Internet is identified by a series of numbers: the IP address. This numeric code is what computers use to connect to the server that hosts the website so that they can access its content.

Ma, of course, having to remember a set of numbers for each website we want to visit is not practical at all. This is why people (unlike computers) use domains to identify websites.

The domain consists of a series of letters or figures (or a combination of both) that we use to represent the IP address of a website. The address is what you type in the browser; for example, "CanguroHosting.com", our domain.

In short, it's like when you go to call someone and look through their mobile contacts, instead of dialing each digit of their number.

Whois is a public directory by which we can find out "who is" the owner of an IP address or domain. We previously use WHOIS to learn some details about the owner, such as his name, address, phone number and email address. In addition, it can also help us to identify whether a domain is already registered or not.

For most domains, details about the owner are hidden, but you can find useful information in the whois directory. This will see when the domain will expire, what is the status of the transfer, who is responsible for registering the domain, who to contact in case of abuse, and which nameservers are in use.

You don't need anything special to register a domain. Although some very specific extensions have requirements, such as that you reside in the geographic area the domain belongs to.

The minimum time you can register a domain is 1 year, when it is time to re-register you will receive an email notification to remind you that it is about to expire.

Domain is something like the physical address of your house; while your host is like home. If you want to open your website, you'll need both a domain, so people can find it, as well as a host, which will store your platform.

TLD or TLDs is the acronym used for top-level domains. This is the last segment of a domain name after the period.

A great example of a TDL is: .com

A IANA reconhece oficialmente três tipos de TLD:
• gTLD – Generic top-level domains
• sTLD – Sponsored top-level domains
• ccTLD – Country code top-level domains

Your TLD plays an important role in the Domain Name System (DNS).

Registering a domain is immediate, regardless of the extension. However, propagating DNS to be fully operational can take 20 minutes to 24 hours, depending on the extension chosen.

Sure. Through our control panel you can freely manage the DNS servers of any domain registered or transferred with us. Your domains are yours, so you can manage them as you like. In addition, it has a basic control panel and an advanced control panel.

Keep in mind that to create custom email addresses or your own website, you also need hosting. Our plans have everything you need to build your website. On the other hand, if you need custom email addresses but aren't currently creating a website, we recommend purchasing a corporate or business email plan.

In general terms, there are 2 large groups of domains: generic, which do not relate to a specific geographic area (.com, .net, .org, .info...), while territorial domains do (.co.za, . co.mz, .com.).

A domain has several contacts that provide information about its owner. The administrative contact is the main one, and you will receive all official communications, domain suspension notices, renewal reminders, among other notifications.

Transfer is a process by which the domain is transferred from the company in which it was initially registered, to another company. It is worth clarifying that domains are the property of the person who hires them, and not the company from which they are acquired, so the owner can choose in which organization he will manage it.

When transferring a domain, the expiration date of the domain will be extended for another 1 year. For example, if your domain expires on August 12, 2024, and you decide to transfer it to Buyu Host, the new expiration date will be August 12, 2025.

To transfer your domain to Buyu Host, you must ensure that it is active and unlocked for transfer at the company where the domain was originally purchased. Also, your domain extension must be supported by Kangaroo Hosting, and it must have been at least 60 days since your registration or last transfer.

Asimismo, it is important that your contact information is kept up to date and that you request the transfer at least 30 days before the domain's expiration date. Remember that you must also have the Transfer Authorization Code (PPE) to start the process.

There are several factors that can affect the transfer of your domain and it is difficult to specify how long the process will take, because it depends on the extension of your domain, the process of authoring the transfer of your current registration, the payment method used; the latter, because some payment gateways may take a little longer than others to release payments, among other causes.

It is important that you are aware of the transfer approval email, remember that your domain and email accounts will continue to work during the transfer. After the domain transfer is complete, you can manage it using your dashboard with us.

The first step in transferring a domain is to contact your current domain provider to verify that it is unlocked and obtain your EPP transfer code. Then, request the transfer through our website by typing the domain in the search bar on this page and following the step by step.

During the process, we will send an email to the administrative contact of the domain, to confirm and authorize the transfer, so it is important that your data is up to date.

When a domain name is registered, a transfer code called an auth code or EPP (Extensible Provisioning Protocol) is automatically created. This code works as an extra security barrier to verify that the person requesting the domain transfer process is authorized to do so. This prevents unauthorized transfers.

To find out the EPP code for your domain, contact the company where your domain is currently registered and ask them to start the transfer process with us.

Each domain extension has a lifecycle, and determines some details and steps for registration and transfer. It can usually be transferred when it is active, and it is more than 60 days from the date of your initial registration, or your previous transfer.

The most popular extensions, .com, .net, and .org, feature this 60-day transfer lock. We recommend that you verify that your domain is older than 60 days from the date of your initial registration or last transfer.
