Universally understood to mean “company”, “corporation”, and “commerce”, .CO is uniquely recognisable, simple, and memorable, offering a good alternative to current global (.COM) domains.

.CO can help you get the global domain you want, and due to the similarity to .COM, a .CO domain is a good opportunity to protect your existing domain investments from potential cybersquatters.

Free Domain Parking

When you register your domain name with Create Hosting, and don't yet have a website or need web hosting services then we'll host your domain name for free. This is often referred to as "Free Parking". Other companies may charge a fee to host your domain name on their servers even if it you are not using it. Domain parking allows you to make use of our other free services like Email Forwarding, URL Redirection and DNS Zone Management. Simply select "Free Domain Parking" during the order process.

Free Email Forwarding

With Email Forwarding you can use your domain name as an email address that delivers your emails to your existing email account. At Create Hosting we'll let you set up to 100 email addresses for your domain name which can then be forwarded to any existing email address, for free. Use you domain name to add to your professional image and brand instead of using your ISP's domain name or free email account.

Free URL Redirection

If you already have an existing website, use our free URL Redirection service to point your domain to that website or specific web page. With the option of URL cloaking, visitors will only see your domain name in their browser address bar, and not the URL of the web page that you are pointing to.

Advanced DNS Management

Advanced DNS Management should be considered as one of the most important criteria when registering your domain name. It is absolutely essential in managing your domain name's status and behaviour on the net! Some companies charge extra for this service, or don't provide it at all - we include it in the price.

With Advanced DNS Zone Management, you have full access to edit your DNS records such as SOA preferences, MX and A records, CNAME records, TXT, SPF and SRV records (for VOIP and other specialised purposes). We also allow you to change your SOA preferences to use the serial number format recommended by IETF and RIPE. For some ccTLD domains this is mandatory, and can resolve registrar refusal issues for many domains registered in some high-level DNS zones.
