How to Purchase and Resolve a Domain Name with the International Domain Registrar Dynadot Tutorial

Naiba usually registers foreign domains atNameSiloToday, I'd like to recommend another registrar: Dynadot. Dynadot is an ICANN-accredited domain registrar and web hosting provider, founded in 2002 and headquartered in San Mateo County, California, USA. It established an international office in Beijing in 2011, and later created two more international offices in Zhengzhou and Toronto.

Which is better, Dynadot or Namesilo

Most of Naiba's domains are registered with Namesilo, primarily because Namesilo's domain prices are relatively fair and they offer free privacy protection. However, after trying Dynadot, I will likely lean towards Dynadot for future domain registrations for the following reasons:

1. The prices of the two are similar, and both offer free privacy protection.
2. The Dynadot website has a Chinese language option, and its access speed is faster than Namesilo's.
3. The Dynadot checkout page clearly displays the renewal price for the second year.
4. Some webmaster friends have also used Dynadot for a long time, and it is secure and stable.

It seems Dynadot has more advantages. However, if you are concerned because Dynadot has offices in China, then you can still choose to useNameSilo.Important Update: When registering a domain with Dynadot and encountering the field to enter your birthday, please be sure to fill in your real birthday information. Otherwise, you will not be able to transfer the domain out.

Dynadot DNS Configuration Tutorial

The Dynadot DNS management interface is somewhat different from those of common domain registrars. At first, Naiba had to figure it out for a while, but after understanding it, I found Dynadot's DNS features quite user-friendly. First, after logging into the Dynadot management backend, select 'My Domains' on the left to manage your domains. Click on the domain name you want to configure DNS for to enter its details page.Click the Domain Management button.In the image below,Select CustomDNS, then add a record. The record type is A, and fill in the IP value. If you need to resolve a URL with www, add a subdomain resolution record for www. Set the TTL to 5 minutes, then save the DNS.That's it, the Dynadot domain resolution is set up. You just need to wait for the domain resolution to take effect. Note: After adding domain resolution, it takes some time to propagate, usually around half an hour, but it can take up to 2 days at most. So, if your website cannot be accessed before the resolution takes effect, just wait a bit.
