Domain questions? We have answers
What is a domain name?
A domain name is your website name. It is the address where internet users can find your website. Computers find each other using IP addresses, which are long strings of numbers. Because people struggle to remember numbers, domain names were created to identify websites instead.
A domain name can be any combination of letters and numbers, used with extensions such as .com, .net, .co.zw and more.
A domain name must be registered before you can use it, and every domain name is unique. No two websites can have the same one. If someone types www.yourdomain.com, they reach your website and no one else's.
What is web hosting?
Web hosting, also called online or internet hosting, is a service that gives you disk space to put your website online so it can be reached on the internet at any time.
Setting up a website is much like setting up a small business. You choose a business name, rent a shop, move in and decorate. A registrant establishes a domain name, leases a block of server space and uploads their web pages. Soon anyone with an internet connection can browse the site.
The domain name provides the address of the server, and the server is rented space where the data that makes up your pages is stored. This is called delegation: the domain name points to your specific hosting account on a particular server.
The server's main job is to serve files to the browser that asked for them. Just as a landlord manages a property, the server is managed by a web host.
Who are web hosting services aimed at?
Web hosting plans suit anyone who wants an easy way to run a professional website, a personal blog or several websites without worrying about the hosting platform.
These plans respond to a wide range of needs and support a large number of projects, so they work for everyone from individuals to large companies.
How do I pay for my domain name?
You can pay by EcoCash, InnBucks, PesePay, PayPal, bank transfer, or in cash at our office.
Can I buy a domain name without web hosting?
While they work together, the domain name and the hosting service are two different things.
A domain name can be bought without hosting. These domains are parked until their nameservers are pointed to a web host. So you can buy your domain from LittleGlow and use another hosting company. Advanced DNS records can also point to other servers if you know the IP address, or the domain can be redirected to another domain.
How long will it take to activate my domain?
All domain names are activated within 24 hours.
Will my domain name be approved?
The .co.zw registry is managed by the Zimbabwe Internet Service Providers Association (ZISPA). It is not an open registry like .com where it is simply first come, first served. Every application is vetted under these policies:
Known company and organisation names will not be registered without authority from the body concerned. For example, you cannot register google.co.zw without authorisation from Google. If there is doubt, ZISPA may ask for proof of company registration.
Names of schools, clubs, churches and similar bodies must be registered in the name of that organisation, not an individual.
Zimbabwean place names are reserved for the matching national or local government authority.
As long as your domain name does not go against ZISPA's terms and conditions, it will be approved.
