From Zero to Mastery: Comprehensive Guide to Domain Knowledge - One-stop Guidance for Registration, Resolution, and Usage
A domain name is the address identifier of a website on the internet, much like a street address in the real world. It translates complex IP addresses into easily memorable text forms, allowing users to access websites effortlessly. For example: www.example.com is a domain name, which is much easier to remember than an IP address like 192.168.1.1.
Purchasing a domain requires going through a domain registrar. First, choose a suitable domain name and suffix (such as .com, .cn, etc.). Then, check the domain's availability on the registrar's website. If available, add it to the shopping cart and complete the payment process. It is recommended to choose a well-known domain registrar to ensure service quality and after-sales support.
After purchasing a domain, you need to set up domain resolution to point the domain to your server's IP address. This process involves configuring DNS records in the domain management panel, including A records (pointing to IPv4 addresses), AAAA records (pointing to IPv6 addresses), CNAME records (alias records), etc., to ensure the domain can properly access your website content.
Domain registration follows the first-come, first-served principle, and each domain is globally unique. During registration, you must provide real and valid contact information, including name, email, phone number, etc., and comply with relevant laws and regulations. The domain registration period is typically 1-10 years. It must be renewed before expiration; otherwise, the domain will be released and become available for registration again. The registered domain information is recorded in the WHOIS database.
Domains can be purchased domestically or internationally. If your English and network skills are not strong, it's better to purchase domestically. After domestic purchase, real-name verification is required before the domain can be used.

Domain prices vary depending on the suffix. Common .com domains cost about 60-100 RMB per year, while .cn domains cost about 30-50 RMB. SSL certificates are crucial for website security, encrypting data transmission between users and the website to protect user privacy. Many domain registrars and cloud service providers now offer free SSL certificate services. It is recommended to configure an SSL certificate for your website to enhance security and search engine ranking.
Simply put, domain name resolution involves entering your server's IP address in the domain management backend. After purchasing a domain, you need to resolve it so that others can access your website via the domain name.
The methods for domain name resolution are largely similar. Please refer to the tutorials below:
Using a domain to provide website services in mainland China requires ICP filing, which is a legal requirement. The filing process requires providing authentic identity information, website information, and server information, typically taking 10-20 working days to complete. At the same time, it is important to avoid the risk of domain blocking by complying with relevant laws and regulations, not publishing illegal or non-compliant content, and ensuring website content compliance. If a domain is blocked, it may be necessary to change the domain or use technical means such as CDN.
You can use various methods to query the IP address corresponding to a domain name: 1) Enter the "ping domain" command in the command line; 2) Use the "nslookup domain" command; 3) Use online tools such as Webmaster Tools, Aizhan.com, etc.; 4) Use the Network panel in the browser"s developer tools. These methods can help you quickly obtain the IP address information resolved by the domain name.
Methods for querying website filing information: 1) Visit the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology ICP filing query website (beian.miit.gov.cn) and enter the domain name for query; 2) Use third-party filing query tools such as Webmaster Tools, Aizhan.com, etc.; 3) Check if the bottom of the website displays the filing number information. Filing information includes details such as the filing number, filing entity, and filing time.
The handling process after a domain name expires: 1) After expiration, it enters a renewal grace period (usually 30 days), during which the website is inaccessible but can still be renewed; 2) After the grace period, it enters a redemption period (usually 30 days), requiring a high redemption fee; 3) After the redemption period, the domain is deleted and becomes available for registration again. It is recommended to renew important domains 30-60 days in advance to avoid loss.
Differences between domain suffixes: 1) .com is the most common and trusted suffix; 2) .cn is suitable for local Chinese websites; 3) .org is suitable for non-profit organizations; 4) .net is suitable for network service providers. The impact on SEO is minimal, as search engines primarily focus on website content quality, but .com domains have an advantage in user trust. When choosing a domain suffix, consider the target user group and brand image.
Most domain registrars have refund policies: 1) Typically, you can apply for a refund within 5-7 days after registration; 2) The domain must not have been resolved or transferred; 3) Some special suffixes may not support refunds; 4) A handling fee may be deducted during the refund. For specific policies, please check the registrar's terms of service. It is recommended to carefully verify the domain spelling before registration.
Suggestions for choosing a domain registrar: 1) Prioritize well-known registrars such as Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, NameSilo, etc.; 2) Do not just look at price; consider service quality and stability; 3) Pay attention to renewal prices, as some registrars offer low first-year prices but expensive renewals; 4) Ensure the registrar has good customer support and a management interface. Although prices may be slightly higher, service quality and stability are more guaranteed.
Domain transfer process: 1) Obtain the domain transfer code (EPP Code) from the original registrar; 2) Ensure the domain is not locked and it has been more than 60 days since registration or the last transfer; 3) Submit the transfer application at the new registrar and enter the transfer code; 4) Confirm the transfer email and wait 5-7 days for the transfer to complete. Domain resolution will not be interrupted during the transfer process, and the domain registration period will automatically be extended by one year upon successful transfer.
Elements required to build a website: 1) Domain name: the address identifier of the website; 2) Website space: the server or Shared Hosting that stores website files; 3) Website program: the code and content of the website; 4) Database: stores website data (if needed). Having only a domain name is not enough to build a complete website; you also need to purchase hosting space and upload website files for the website to function properly.

In the article, the sentence „Domain resolution, simply put, is entering your server“s IP in the domain management backend„ seems to be missing a “析„ character. Also, may I ask Naiba, are the articles in the simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, and English sections of your website“s top menu translated manually or using some Plugin for automatic translation? Thank you for your advice.
Translated manually using a translation plugin, only some pages were translated.
Naiba, I'm very fortunate to have found your blog. Thank you for compiling such detailed tutorials.
Following your notes, I registered a website with SiteGround using my original domain and Google Workspace email. However, I've now found that the Workspace email can only send emails but cannot receive them. How should I resolve this?
Looking forward to your reply, thank you~
It's likely that after pointing the domain's DNS to SiteGround, the records for Google Workspace email weren't transferred. You can contact customer support to help you add the Google Workspace email records.
