Domain and hosting: the right launch order

A domain secures the project name, while hosting or VPS runs the site, bot, or API. Check the name first, then choose infrastructure for the task.

What to check

  • The domain is the project address; hosting/VPS is where it runs.
  • Secure an available name first, then pick a server for the workload.
  • DNS connects the domain to the provider IP address or nameservers.

Action plan

  1. Check the brand and main TLDs.
  2. Buy the domain from a registrar.
  3. Choose VPS or hosting for the site.
  4. Configure DNS and verify availability.
