Yesterday, a friend preparing to start a foreign trade SOHO business consulted Naiba on QQ. He plans to build his own website to begin his SOHO journey and asked whether it's better to choose personal or company registration for a foreign trade website domain on Alibaba Cloud. According to his own understanding, registering a domain under a company identity would benefit the website and products, making it appear more professional. However, he also thought that purchasing a domain as a company might be more troublesome, requiring business verification and such.
Should I purchase a domain using a personal or company identity?
Naiba's view is: If you choose privacy protection when purchasing the domain, there is almost no difference between the two.
What is domain privacy protection?For example, the image below shows
Top in Foreign Trade Cross-border E-commerceLightInTheBoxDomain name WHOIS information.
From the WHOIS information, you cannot see any registration details about this domain name. So, whether you register with personal or company information, it's the same for domains using privacy protection—others cannot see the information anyway.
What is the effect if you do not use domain privacy protection?Sorry, I have queried many domain names and could not find an unprotected one, so I cannot provide a screenshot; I'll describe it verbally.
For domain names registered without privacy protection, others can directly see your registered phone number, email address, and address information through WHOIS.This may result in receiving spam emails and phone calls. Customers can also see your domain registration information, but this information alone cannot confirm that you are a genuine company, as the registration details are self-filled, and domain registrars do not verify them carefully. Therefore, the conclusion is that registering with personal or company information is the same. The difference lies in whether the domain ownership belongs to an individual or a company.
Is it good for foreign trade SOHO to register a domain name on Alibaba Cloud?
Registering a domain name domestically may be affected by policies. It is generally recommended that foreign trade websites register domain names with overseas domain registrars, such as on
