Can I Buy a Domain Without Buying Hosting?

Learn why domain registration and web hosting are treated as separate services.

A domain registration and a hosting service are separate products.

A domain gives you the right to use the registered internet name for its registration period. Hosting provides the server resources needed to run a website.

Kimnet's domain workflow can therefore manage a domain separately from a hosting service where the required domain option is available.

If you later want to use that domain with Kimnet hosting, the domain can be connected to the appropriate hosting service through the correct nameserver or DNS configuration.

If the domain is intended for another provider, make sure you understand the DNS settings required by that provider before changing nameservers.

Domain registration does not automatically create website content, email mailboxes or a cPanel hosting account.
