Domain-Only Features at Site.eu

So you're thinking about getting just a domain name without a hosting plan? That's totally fine! Let me show you what you can do with your domain name at Site.eu.

Configure Your Name Servers

First up, you can configure name servers for your domain. Name servers tell browsers where to find your website when someone types in your domain name.

Maybe you already have hosting somewhere else? No problem! You can point your Site.eu domain to any hosting provider you want. Just update the name servers in your domain control panel.

Manage DNS Records

Here's where things get interesting. You can configure all sorts of DNS records for your domain:

• A records - Point your domain to a specific IP address
• AAAA records - Point your domain to an IPv6 address
• CNAME records - Create aliases for your domain
• MX records - Set up email routing
• TXT records - Add verification codes for services like Google or Microsoft
• CAA records - Control which certificate authorities can issue SSL certificates
• SRV records - Specify server locations for specific services
• NAPTR records - Used for advanced services like VoIP
• SSHFP records - Store SSH fingerprints for server verification
• TLSA records - Enhance security with certificate pinning

The best part? You don't need to be a tech wizard to manage these. Our control panel makes it simple.

Create Redirections

Want your domain to point somewhere else (temporarily)? You can set up redirections easily. This is super handy if you want to:

• Forward to any other website you own
• Point to a temporary landing page
• Redirect to your existing business website
• Send traffic to a specific social media page

It's like putting up a sign that says "We've moved! Find us here instead."

Advanced Security with DNSSEC

For the more tech-savvy users, we offer DNSSEC key configuration. This adds an extra layer of security to your domain. It's like having a security guard that makes sure nobody can hijack your domain's directions.

Don't worry if this sounds complicated. DNSSEC is optional and mainly for advanced users who need that extra security.

Full Domain Management

Beyond the technical stuff, you have complete control over your domain:

• Change the domain holder - Update ownership information anytime
• Push to another Site.eu user - Transfer your domain to someone else with a Site.eu account
• Request a transfer key - Move your domain to another registrar if needed
• Lock/unlock your domain - Prevent accidental transfers (if your domain extension supports it)

The Bottom Line

Even without a hosting plan, your domain name at Site.eu isn't just sitting there doing nothing. You've got plenty of tools to manage it, redirect it, secure it, and prepare it for whatever you want to do next.

Whether you're planning to build a website later, using the domain for email, or just securing your brand name for the future - you've got all the control you need right from day one.
