Hosts Vs. Domain name registrars
If I host with you, are you my domain
name registrar?
In some cases, yes. ServerGrade provides web hosting services and domain name registration services.
If you chose to purchase your domain name from us
then we are your registrar. If you only got hosting from us, and bought
your domain name from another company, then they are your registrar.
Domain name registrars are responsible for reserving
your domain name. Registrars reserve and then "point" your domain name
to hosting companies by setting
the nameserver settings.
Web hosting companies are responsible for actually
storing your site, and sending it to your visitors.
In general, web hosting is a much more important part
of the process because the hosting companies' speed and reliability is
essential for serving your visitors.
