When I buy a domain, does that mean I will also have a website?
No — purchasing a domain does not automatically include a website. A website needs to be designed separately and hosted on a web server (a special computer that stays connected to the internet at all times).
If you choose Duport’s domain and hosting package, you’ll have access to WordPress, allowing you to create and manage your own website at no extra cost.

I have a website how do I make it visible on the internet?
You will also need to find a web server to host your website. We can provide hosting for your domain which will allow you to upload your domain via your own FTP access. Alternatively, there are many companies who offer this service, with varying degrees of quality. Choose your hosting company carefully, as an apparently cheap deal may not prove to be quite what it seems. Try to find a host with a good reputation for service, or your website may not be available online all the time. This will be quite unpopular with your customers and search engines. Make sure you are not restricted to small amounts of web space, as this may inhibit the number of pages your website can have.
How can I build a website?
When you choose Duport to host your domain, you’ll gain access to WordPress — one of the world’s most popular website-building platforms.
WordPress allows you to create a free, professional-looking website that you can fully customise yourself. You can easily drag and drop images, edit text, and update your site whenever you need to, giving you control so that you can update and maintenance your own site.
Not comfortable with the technical side, or would you prefer a professionally designed website? Our team can create a customised one-page website that gives your business a strong, professional landing page — without you having to lift a finger. Every website includes SSL security to keep it safe and build visitor confidence and can be linked to your company email address to boost your credibility and online presence.
Can I redirect my domain name to another hosting provider?
Yes, you can. You can access your DNS records by logging into your Duport account and clicking My Domain Names, or you can email the new DNS details, such as A records or name servers, to support@duport.co.uk
