How can I create my website?

A domain is a unique and exclusive name given to a website on the Internet. For example, you are currently at the cdmon.com domain.

They can be divided in 4 groups:

• gTLDs (generic Tol Level Domains): are generic Top Level Domains, without country or language specifications. They are the most well-known extensions, they do not have restrictions and are available to users around the world.
• sTLDs (sponsored Top Level Domains): are generic domains proposed by an independent agency or foundation, which establishes and applies the rules for qualifying for those domains.
• ccTLDs (country code Top Level Domain): are geographical top level domains used and reserved for a country or dependent territory. They normally have linguistic or regional restrictions.
• New gTLDs: are new top level domains for companies, organizations, cities or individuals. Furthermore, they cover very different areas (business, industry, money, technology, sport, food, health, adults, cities, cultural, etc.) that are offered for private use, for brands and are even open to the public.

At cdmon you can register more than 600 different domains amongst the 4 types, from .com (gTLDs) to .buzz (New gTLDs).

Of course. This kind of domains are called IDN domains, but, if you want to register one of these domains, you will have to check the special characters admitted since they can vary from extension to extension.

Yes, you can register domains for a period of longer than one year and up to 10 years. Remember that some domains require a specific time of years, like .uk domains, which have to be registered for 2 years. Keep in mind that You can modify the time period in the shopping cart.

Yes, of course! Domain and Hosting are related but separate products. We recommend that you first buy the domain you want, even if you have no intention of having a website with this domain. If you buy the domain name, you will ensure that no one can take it away from you. Later you can obtain the Hosting that you need and associate it with your domain.

A Hosting includes a series of services associated to a domain: disk space, FTP accounts, monthly data transfer, email accounts, password-protected folders, backup, Control Panel, web statistics, etc. And most importantly, with cdmon you will receive the free advice and support of our technical team.

It all depends on your needs and expectations. For example:

• If you expect your site will receive a high number of visits, you should get a Hosting with enough monthly data transfer, or expand it as you need it.
• If you want to create a photo gallery, you will need more disk space.
• If your website is for an association, you will have to get more email accounts to be able to distribute them amongst the members.

In any case, remember that all our Hosting are scalable: you can get an initial Hosting and move up to a higher one whenever you need it.

To put it more simply, it is the standard technology for maintaining a secure Internet connection, protecting any confidential information sent between two systems and preventing criminals from reading and modifying any data that is transferred, including information that could be considered personal.

If you have a Hosting with us, we'll automatically activate a free Let's Encrypt certificate. You will also be able to click on 'Request an SSL certificate', where you can choose between different certificates issued by Comodo (PositiveSSL, PositiveSSL Wildcard, Instant SSL Pro or EV SSL). Some certificates may require extra information or documentation to be issued. Choose the certificate that best suits your needs from the control panel. If you do not know which certificate is right for you, contact us and we will help you.

You can see the detailed characteristics of each certificate in the SSL Certificates table. However, if you are not sure about which one to choose, you can contact us, and we will advise you with whatever you need.

Let's Encrypt is a fast, useful and simple certificate that several domains and unlimited domains as long as you are using cdmon's DNS servers. However, premium SSL certificates include advantages that will build extra trust in your customers. Some of these certificates allow you to validate your organization and all of them include insurance coverage to cover certain damage produced during their period of use, due to negligence by the company issuing the certificate (subject to the terms and conditions of the company issuing the certificate). We will be delighted to help you if you have any further queries.

Once the certificate is active, you must configure your website so it is compatible with the HTTPS format. To do this, you can modify the .htaccess file so that when someone clicks on http://www.domain.com, they will automatically be redirected to https://www.domain.com. You can see how to do this by clicking here.
In some CMS, such as WordPress or PrestaShop, there are plugins to make these types of modifications simply.
