It is the unique address you type into your browser to access a website (for example, mydomain.com). It translates an easy-to-remember name into an IP address through the DNS system. It represents your online identity and can also be used to create branded email addresses.

You can check it directly using cdmon's domain search tool. Simply enter the name you want and the system will instantly show whether it’s available or suggest alternatives with other extensions. If the domain is already taken, we recommend trying variations or different extensions.

First, check that the name is available, choose the extension (the final part of the domain, such as .com, .es or .org) that best fits your project, complete the registrant details, and select the registration period (from 1 to 10 years). At cdmon, the process is fast, clear and 100% online, and activation is usually immediate, except for extensions with special requirements.

The price of a domain depends on the extension (for example, .com, .es or .org) and whether it is standard, premium or on promotion. For example, at cdmon, a .com domain costs €9.95, a .es €4.95 and a .eu €4.75 (VAT not included).

Check the latest domain prices. At cdmon, you will always see transparent pricing for registration, renewal and transfer for each TLD.

It depends on your audience and goals. .com is ideal for global projects; .es strengthens your presence in Spain; .org is perfect for organizations; and new gTLDs (such as .shop, .online, .tech) help you stand out by sector or purpose. To protect your brand, also register the main variants.

A domain is the address that takes users to your website (mydomain.com). Hosting is the space or server where your website files and email are stored, and the website is the content that visitors see. You can register your domain with cdmon and easily point it to the hosting of your choice.

To transfer a domain, first unlock it and request the authorization code (Auth Code or EPP). Then start the transfer from the new registrar and enter that code. You will receive an email to confirm the operation and, once approved, the transfer is usually completed within 5–7 days. Some domains have specific policies, such as .co.uk, which must be transferred from the current registrar, or .es, which does not always extend the registration period by one year.

DNS (Domain Name System) translates your domain name into an IP address so that browsers and mail servers can locate your website or email. Each domain has: DNS servers, which handle queries, and DNS records (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, etc.), which define where the associated services are located.

At cdmon, you can easily manage both from your Control Panel.

If your website is hosted with cdmon, you can apply the default DNS records from the domain management panel to connect it to your hosting. If you use another provider, you will need to create A records pointing to your server’s IP address or a CNAME record pointing to the hostname provided by your provider. You can also redirect your domain using a 301 (permanent) or 302 (temporary) redirect, or a masked redirect, although not all services support it.

Purchase an email or hosting plan that includes email. Create mailboxes (for example, info@mydomain.com) and configure the MX records in DNS. To improve deliverability and avoid spam, add SPF, DKIM and DMARC records. At cdmon, we make it easy: if you have both a domain and hosting, we configure everything automatically.

WHOIS displays the public information of a domain: registrant, registrar, dates and status. Since the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) came into force, most personal data is hidden or anonymized by default.

At cdmon, we include private WHOIS by default, protecting your personal data on all extensions that allow it, at no additional cost.

Here you can learn what information WHOIS shows and how domain data privacy works.

If you don’t renew it in time, your domain enters a grace period during which you can still renew it. After that, it moves to redemption, where recovering it involves an additional fee. Timeframes vary depending on the extension, but during this period your website and email will stop working.

We recommend renewing in advance or enabling auto-renewal at cdmon to avoid losing your domain.

Here you can see the domain life cycle and how to enable automatic renewal from your control panel.

From your cdmon control panel, you can renew your domain for one or several years (up to the maximum allowed by the TLD). Enable auto-renewal to keep it always active and make sure you have a valid payment method. You will receive reminders before each expiration to prevent interruptions to your website or email.

DNS record propagation is usually completed within minutes, or even seconds, depending on the configured time to live (TTL) and server caching. However, changes to nameservers (NS) may take longer to propagate, typically between 24 and 48 hours.

Keep in mind that some extensions, such as .es domains, only update their servers every 6 hours, which can delay full propagation.

Here you can see how to check DNS propagation.

A subdomain is an “extension” of the main domain, such as blog.mydomain.com or shop.mydomain.com. It is created by adding an A or CNAME DNS record to your DNS zone, or by configuring it directly from your hosting. Unlike a subfolder (for example, mydomain.com/blog), a subdomain is considered a separate entity at a technical level and can point to a different server or project.

At cdmon, you can create as many subdomains as you need, with no limits or additional registration costs.

The short answer is: yes, but not in the way many people think. The TLD (domain extension) does not improve rankings on its own: Google treats most extensions (.com, .net, .shop…) in a neutral way.

However, geographic domains (.es, .fr, .mx, etc.) do have a direct impact, as they help better geolocate results within a specific country. In addition, the extension you choose can indirectly influence SEO through user trust and branding: classic TLDs (.com, .org) convey stability and recognition, while more creative ones (.tech, .studio, .online) can strengthen brand identity and memorability.

Always choose an extension aligned with your audience and goals: the right TLD communicates who you are and who you’re targeting, and that also contributes to visibility.

Yes. Many TLDs support Internationalized Domain Names (IDN), which allow characters such as ñ, á, ü or ç. Technically, these domains are converted into Punycode format to work correctly on the Internet. Keep in mind that not all TLDs accept IDNs and that some services (such as email or certain hosting platforms) may have compatibility limitations.

At cdmon, if you enter a name with unsupported characters, the system will notify you during registration so you can correct it.

It is a unique code that identifies your domain and is used to authorize its transfer between registrars. You can obtain it from your current provider’s control panel (at cdmon, from the domain management section). Store it securely and do not share it publicly, as it allows your domain to be transferred to another registrar.

Here you can see how to request or recover your AUTH CODE at cdmon.

From the cdmon control panel, you can modify the DNS servers (nameservers) and point your domain to the provider that manages your DNS zone. The change may take several hours to propagate. Before doing so, make sure your new DNS zone is properly configured to avoid downtime or resolution errors.

DNS records define where the different services associated with your domain are located:

• A: points to an IPv4 address.
• AAAA: points to an IPv6 address.
• CNAME: creates an alias to another domain name.
• MX: defines the mail servers.
• TXT: used for verification or policies (SPF, DKIM, DMARC).
• NS: delegate the management of the DNS zone.
• SRV and CAA cover more advanced configurations (for example, VoIP or certificates).

At cdmon, you can create and manage all of these records from the control panel.
