- [Domain Renewal Price Traps: What Many Registrars Don't Show You at Checkout](https://support.kapsulehost.com/en-nz/domains-renewal-price): A domain's renewal price is what it costs to keep the name each year after the first, and it is often higher than the price you registered it at. This article explains why, which traps to check…
- [Site Domains Tab](https://support.kapsulehost.com/en-nz/site-domains-tab): The Domains tab is where you attach domain names to a site, decide which one is the primary URL, and check whether DNS has caught up yet. A site can carry several domains at once, with one of them…
- [WHOIS Privacy](https://support.kapsulehost.com/en-nz/domains-whois-privacy): WHOIS privacy replaces your personal contact details in the public domain registration record with a privacy service, and at KapsuleHost it is included free on every domain that supports it, with no…
- [Looking Up Domain Registration Details](https://support.kapsulehost.com/en-nz/domains-whois-lookup): KPanel has a WHOIS lookup that tells you whether a domain is registered, who holds it, when it expires, and which nameservers it uses, and it works for any domain, not just the ones on your account.
- [Subdomains and Parked Domains](https://support.kapsulehost.com/en-nz/domains-subdomains-and-parked): A subdomain is just a DNS record under your domain, and a parked domain is one you own but are not hosting a site on, and KPanel handles both from the domain page without any separate product to buy.
- [Domain Renewal, Expiry and Recovery](https://support.kapsulehost.com/en-nz/domains-renewal-expiry): A domain is a lease rather than a purchase, and letting it lapse takes your website and your email down together, so this article covers how renewal works at KapsuleHost, what the panel tells you…
- [Domains: Where to Start](https://support.kapsulehost.com/en-nz/domains-overview): Everything you can do with a domain name at KapsuleHost, and which guide to read for each job.
- [Glue Records and Custom Nameservers](https://support.kapsulehost.com/en-nz/domains-glue-records): Glue records solve one specific circular-lookup problem in DNS, and because KapsuleHost's nameservers live on domains of their own rather than on yours, almost nobody hosting with us ever needs one.
- [Getting Your Domain Auth Code](https://support.kapsulehost.com/en-nz/domains-epp-auth-code): An auth code is the password that proves you control a domain, and every transfer between registrars needs one, so knowing where to get yours and what to do when it is rejected saves most of the…
- [Updating Your Domain Contact Details](https://support.kapsulehost.com/en-nz/domains-contact-details): Every domain registration carries a registrant contact record, the registry requires it to be accurate, and KPanel lets you edit it from the domain's Overview tab.
- [Bulk Domain Search](https://support.kapsulehost.com/en-nz/domains-bulk-search): Bulk search checks a whole list of domain names at once and puts everything available into your cart in a single action, which beats searching fifty names one at a time when you are choosing a brand…
- [Transferring Your Domain to Another Registrar](https://support.kapsulehost.com/en-nz/domains-transfer-out): You can move any domain registered with KapsuleHost to another registrar whenever you want, and the auth code you need to do it is one button away in KPanel.
- [Registering and Managing .nz Domains](https://support.kapsulehost.com/en-nz/domains-nz-rules): New Zealand's .nz namespace runs on its own registry rules, and several of them differ enough from .com that the KPanel controls you expect to see are deliberately absent on a .nz domain.
- [Enabling DNSSEC for Your Domain](https://support.kapsulehost.com/en-nz/domains-dnssec): DNSSEC signs your DNS zone cryptographically so that resolvers can prove an answer really came from you, and KapsuleHost can turn it on for any domain whose DNS we host.
- [Transferring a Domain to KapsuleHost](https://support.kapsulehost.com/en-nz/domain-transfer-in): Transferring your domain to KapsuleHost brings your domain registration and hosting under one roof, making it easier to manage DNS, renewals, and email. For most domains the process takes five to…
- [Adding and Connecting Your Domain](https://support.kapsulehost.com/en-nz/adding-your-domain): Your domain is the address people use to find your website. This guide covers two scenarios: registering a brand new domain through KapsuleHost, and connecting a domain you already own at another…
- [Changing Nameservers to Point Your Domain to KapsuleHost](https://support.kapsulehost.com/en-nz/nameservers): Updating your nameservers is the most important step in connecting an existing domain to KapsuleHost. This guide covers what nameservers do, KapsuleHost's nameserver addresses, how to make the…
