Domain hosting is a platform that allows you to define the settings for your domain so that others can make use of it. So, for example, where your website is, where to send your email to and the parameters for doing so. Without hosting your domain, these services would not function.
emPSN offers a DNS hosting service, allowing your school to publish and manage DNS records on a central nameserver, supported by secondary nameservers to ensure high availability. The nameservers are all situated on the JISC / Janet Network, whilst they are geographically separated to minimise fire risks or network connection failures.
Domain registration is the process of recording an internet domain name (such as ourschool.org.uk) with a registrar, this then entitles the domain owner to use that domain for the registration period. Registration is typically for 1, 2 or 3 year periods. Once the registration comes to an end, the customer then needs to re-register. If the registration lapses it becomes open for another organisation to register it and take ownership.
