What is Domain

A domain is your website's address (e.g. yourcompany.com). A good domain is memorable, builds credibility (.co.th for Thai businesses), aids SEO, and enables professional email (@yourcompany.com).

Choosing: TLD

TLD guide: .com (most universal), .co.th (Thai registered businesses, requires documents, high credibility), .th (Thai country TLD), .net (networks/general), .org (organizations/NGOs), .io (tech/startups), .in.th (Thai informational sites).

Recommendation: For registered Thai businesses, buy both .co.th and .com simultaneously to protect your brand.

Domain: PatHosting

Registration steps: visit PatHosting → search domain availability → add to cart → choose registration period → optionally add Privacy Protection → fill WHOIS info → pay → confirm email from registry (important — unconfirmed domains may be suspended).

.co.th

.co.th requires Thai company documents: juristic persons need a certificate of incorporation (issued within 6 months); sole proprietors need a commercial registration. Documents must be submitted within 30 days of registration.

Domain: PatHosting

Domain transfer: unlock domain at current registrar → request EPP/auth code → initiate transfer at PatHosting → enter domain + EPP code → pay (usually includes 1-year renewal) → confirm email → wait 5-7 business days.

Setup: DNS

Key DNS records: A (points domain to IP), CNAME (alias), MX (mail servers), TXT (SPF/DKIM for email), NS (nameservers). Manage all via PatHosting control panel when hosted there.

Domain Privacy Protection

Domain Privacy Protection hides your WHOIS info (name, address, email, phone) behind a proxy. Benefits: reduces spam, protects personal data, cuts cold calls from domain sales/SEO agencies.

Choosing: Tips

Domain name tips: keep it short (under 15 chars), easy to type (avoid l vs 1 confusion), no hyphens, check for trademarks, think long-term, buy multiple TLDs simultaneously, and check social media handle availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is a domain I have registered mine forever?
No - a domain is "rented" and must be renewed every year (or for the term you registered). If you do not renew, the domain will expire and others can register it.
Can I still recover a domain after it expires?
There is usually a grace period of about 30-40 days after expiry during which the original owner can renew it before it is released to the market. Check the policy at PatHosting.
Does transferring a domain to PatHosting cause my site to go down?
If the DNS still points to the old host, the site will not go down. A transfer only changes the registrar, not the DNS immediately. Update the nameservers after the transfer completes if you want to move.
