Think of a domain like a street address

A domain is the address people type to find your website. For example, yourbusiness.com. Your website is the place they arrive when they use that address.

The registrar is like the address office

A domain registrar manages registration and renewals. You choose one and pay them directly. The domain remains registered to you.

WebGum is like the person setting up your shop

We help point your website address to your finished site. That connection is called DNS, but you don't need to remember the name.

What if I already own my domain?

Keep it. We guide you through connecting it to your new website. If you already use email with that domain, we'll consider your existing email settings before changing anything.

What if I haven't bought one?

We can help you choose a memorable name and guide you through a registrar's checkout. Different countries have different domain extensions and registration rules. Our guidance is included; registration and renewal costs are paid directly to your registrar.

Who can change my domain later?

You can. You own it and control the registrar account. For changes we can guide you or use permission-based access. Please don't share account passwords.

A simple example

If Maya opens a bakery and registers mayasbakery.com, that address belongs to Maya. We connect her website to it. If Maya chooses a different website service later, she can keep the same address and arrange to point it elsewhere.

And hosting?

Think of hosting as the space where your website lives so people can open it online. WebGum manages this within the agreed website care plan. Standard packages use separately managed website projects, not dedicated physical servers.

Need your data to stay in one country?

Tell us before placing an order. A country-specific hosting or data-processing arrangement is not automatically part of a standard plan and must be checked and quoted separately.

Need a hand deciding?

Tell us what you're planning. We'll explain the next steps and put the important details in writing before you commit.
