Where do you edit the records for a Name.com domain?
Check the nameservers on the domain. With Name.com nameservers, edit records in Name.com. With your host’s or a third party’s nameservers, use that provider’s account for website and mail changes.
Which columns should you compare before buying?
Look up your extension on Name.com’s pricing page. Compare registration, renewal and transfer separately, then check the quote for your exact name. Use the renewal amount when budgeting future years.
What can you take with you if Name.com hosts DNS?
Name.com documents a CSV export for DNS records when transferring away. Keep the file and compare it with the active records. If you use Name.com nameservers, prepare the replacement DNS service before leaving. The CSV lists records. Account access, mailboxes and your website files need their own arrangements.
What would you check in a DNS spreadsheet before moving?
Draw an export for a fictional domain with one website record, one mail-routing record and one verification record.
