It's common knowledge that there are many domain services which allow customers to buy new domain names as well as connect them to other apps.
However, how to understand the way of configuring a new domain, for example, with Short.cm shortening service and not to get confused? Especially for this, we review the configuring process of commonly used domain services with Short.cm.
The next platform is Name.com.
The head feature of this service is selling domains. After buying one of them, you have a chance to connect a domain to other services, create email or build a website. Name.com opens access to widely used domains. There is a helpful page “Pricing” where top-level domains are sorted alphabetically.
