Why We Don’t Offer Web Hosting Services

Domain registrars typically offer domains bundled with a hosting solution as part of a basic package. This gives the user a few megabytes of disk space exposed by an HTTP server and accessible with a FTP client. The idea behind this is that the user can have their personal HTML static site bundled with the registrar’s offerings. However, this can confuse people who don’t deeply understand these technologies.

We don’t offer web hosting because:

• We focus on offering the best domain and DNS management platform by enabling our customers to set up and connect their domains to services that already exist, rather than trying to create our own top-to-bottom solution. We offer mulitple One-click Services for popular hosting services so you can set up all the required DNS records in a single click.
• There are myriad technologies available for creating websites. These require several pieces of software to work: database servers, web servers, caching services, load balancers, etc. Websites have heavier hardware requirements than just a few megabytes of hard disk.
• A hosting service would only cater to a tiny fraction of our users who still make HTML static websites.
