Services included with your domain
Control panel
When you activate your domain you will have access to a control panel from which you can manage all the changes you need: Modify DNSs, edit and hide Whois data, lock and unlock your domain, renew it, etc.
Whois data privacy
Activating free Whois privacy on your domains will prevent display of your personal data in search engines. This option is not available for .es domains because the regulations for them don’t allow it.
Security lock
Your domain will be more secure with transfer locking, because you will prevent anyone else from transferring it to another provider without your authorization. You can lock and unlock your domain whenever you need to.
Domain redirecting
If you register your domain in Webempresa without buying a hosting service, you can activate a free Domains Plan. This plan will enable you to edit the DNS zones for your domains and set up redirects in domains and subdomains.
Free parking page
If you don’t buy a hosting service for your domain, you can publish a free parking page with the Domain Plan. You can use this page to publish your contact information or a countdown to the publication of your website, for example.

We know how important it is to be able to call on someone quickly when you need them most. That’s why our support team is available to help you 24 hours a day, year round (including weekends and holidays).
FAQS
Frequently asked questions about domain names
What is a domain name?
A short, snappy definition would be: the name of your website. What you type into the browser to find a web page and what enables you to have personalized email accounts. But going a little deeper, you can think of it as your brand on the Internet. It is important to choose a good domain name, as it will be the name representing you in the online world.
If we focus on the technical part, a domain is a name or set of characters permitting linking to an IP address on a server where the contents of a website or email accounts are hosted. So, to reach a web page in your browser, or to send and receive personalized emails, you just need to enter the domain name and not an ugly, difficult to remember IP address.
Why do I need a domain?
If you want to have a website or create personalized email accounts, you need a domain. You can also buy a domain name just to protect your brand, to prevent anyone else from registering it. To create a website or have email accounts, you need two things: a domain and a hosting plan. The domain will be the name of your website and the ending after the @ symbol the name of the email accounts. For example, info@mydomain.com.
The web hosting service is a space on an Internet server where the contents of your website and your email accounts reside.
You need to have both parts active and linked to the DNSs so your website is visible and your emails can be received and sent normally.
How do I choose a good domain name?
It’s hard, isn’t it? Here are some tips:
- Choose as short and clear a name as possible for easy recall.
- Avoid special characters, such as ñ, hyphen, accents, etc.
- Don’t use trademarks or trade names (unless you are the owner)
- Prioritize your goal. If your goal is to draw traffic, we recommend including the search keyword in Google. If your goal is to focus on a local area, include the locality so that the geolocation predominates. If your goal is the brand, include the name of the brand to make it stand out.
Why do I need to buy a domain?
A web domain is the unique name you give your project so users can find you on the internet. In addition, you will also use it in your professional email address. Therefore, the task of buying a domain is essential when you decide to start a digital project.
The investment you have to make when buying a domain is within the reach of any pocket. For example, at Webempresa you can register a domain for only €12.99. And if you contract your hosting plan with us, we’ll give it to you for free during the first year. You just have to register your domain and it’s yours. 😉
How long does it take to buy a domain?
The action of registering a domain goes beyond clicking the buy domain button. First of all you have to:
- Think carefully about your domain name. Once you carry out the action of registering a domain, there is no going back.
- Check if it is available. Think in more than one direction to always have a plan B (and even C) on hand in case your first option is not available.
- Choose which will be the extension in which you are going to register the domain. Always choose the one that best suits your needs. You can also buy domains or register domains with the same name but with different extensions to further expand your industry.
Once you have chosen the name and verified that it is available in the extension you need, all you have to do is access the domain registrar provider and buy your domain in one click.
Can I rename a domain?
Domains are unique and non-transferable. That is, if you decide to change the name of a domain, you will have to buy a domain with the new address and point your website to the new domain, since the previous domain registration will remain active during the period for which you have contracted.
In addition, you have to take into account that even if the content of the web is the same, the search engines will treat the page as a new one by having a different address with the new domain registration.
What types of domains are there?
– Generic or gTLD: These are domains that do not belong to a country or territory. Examples are the .com, .org and .info extensions. There is an entity that markets each extension or group of extensions, but the rules and regulations on these extensions are established by the worldwide organization responsible for domains called ICANN.
– Country code or ccTLD: These belong to a country or territory. Examples of country domains are those containing the .es, .mx or .eu extensions. Each extension has a corresponding body which sets the rules for each extension. For example, the entity that sets the regulations for .es domains is Red.es or ESNIC.
– Sponsored: These are territorial because they belong to a region, country or territory, but they follow the regulations for generic extensions. The .cat, .eus extensions are examples of these types of extensions. For example, the entity or registry for a .cat domain is PuntCat, but the regulations and procedures for this extension are implemented by ICANN.
What domain name extensions can I register with Webempresa?
You can try different options and choose the one you want in the registration process, which you can start a bit further up the page. 😉
Can I register a domain with special characters?
The domain name is registered as you have it written and will be valid for normal use, but a translation into a different format needs to be performed so the different services can work with the domain.
For example, the españa.com domain translates to xn--espaa-rta.com, and that will be how it appears for services, such as email. Personally, we don’t recommend it.
How can I tell if a domain name is already registered or occupied?
What are DNSs?
So, when someone enters the website name in the address bar of their browser, the DNSs assigned in the domain perform the translation to an IP address.
This means you can access the website through the domain name. You are also using the DNSs to direct the traffic to the server where your domain website and/or emails are hosted.
Can I register a domain without creating a website?
Can I register more than one domain?
Can I swap the domain to another once I have registered it?
Can I change the domain data once I have registered it?
Are there any rules or requirements for registering a domain?
– For .es domains the administrative contact must be a natural person or individual.
– For .eu domains the postal address must be in a European country.
– For .cat domains, the website must be published entirely in Catalan.
