Domain name. The domain name that you register with a domain registrar and will use for this website.

Note: Depending on your hosting provider’s policy, you may not be able to change the domain name of your subscription’s primary domain. By default, the primary domain name matches the subscription name.

Host type. The type of hosting (website, forwarding, and no hosting) defines the behavior of the website. By default, all websites belong to the website hosting type as they are physically hosted on the server.

To change the type of accommodation, use the Change link. For more information about hosting types, see Hosting Types.

To suspend the website with all mailboxes and mailing lists hosted under the website’s domain name, use the Suspend option.

Note: Other basic settings depend on the selected hosting type. See Accommodation Types.

Website status. The state of the website defines the accessibility of the site in the browsers and the hosting services available. In addition to working as usual, the site may be suspended from opening in browsers, and furthermore, site hosting features (such as mail service and DNS service) may be disabled. You should change the status if you want the site to be temporarily unavailable, for example, for maintenance reasons. View Website Status.
