Domain Registration & DNS Management
Your domain name is your address on the internet. It’s what customers type to find your website and the part after the @ in your business email. ASG Hosting registers domain names and manages the DNS behind them for businesses and individuals anywhere in the US.
DNS is the behind-the-scenes system that tells the internet where your website lives and where your email should be delivered. When it’s wrong, websites disappear and email bounces. We set it up correctly and look after it, so you don’t have to.
We help you pick and register the right domain name for your business.
We manage your DNS records so your website and email point to the right places.
Questions about your domain go to real people in Troy, Montana, not a call center.
Choosing a good domain name
A good domain is short, easy to say over the phone and easy to spell. For most businesses that means your business name or a close version of it, usually ending in .com. If your first choice is taken, we can help you weigh the alternatives, such as adding your town or what you do.
It’s also worth thinking about the domain names you might want to protect, such as common misspellings or a shorter version of your name, so nobody else can use them.
Keep control of your domain
Your domain is one of the most important things your business owns online. If it expires, your website and email stop working, and an expired domain can be picked up by someone else. We help you keep track of renewals so that doesn’t happen.
We also make sure you know where your domain is registered and how it’s set up. Too many businesses discover, years later, that a former web designer or employee registered their domain under a personal account they can no longer reach. We believe your domain should be clearly yours, with a hosting team that can explain and manage the technical side for you.
DNS that keeps everything working
Your domain’s DNS records connect it to your website hosting and your business email. They also carry the records that help prove your email is legitimate, which affects whether your messages land in the inbox or the spam folder.
When you change hosts, add a new service or verify your site with Google or Microsoft, DNS records need to change. We make those changes for you and make sure nothing breaks along the way.
Already have a domain?
If your domain is registered somewhere else, contact us. We can talk through pointing it at your new hosting or moving its management to us, and we’ll explain each step before we make any change.
