📌 Examples:

Yes, but free domains (e.g., .tk, .ml) are not recommended because:
❌ They look unprofessional.

Nameservers link your domain name to your hosting server. If you change your web host, you must update your nameservers in your domain settings.

📌 Example of nameservers:
✔ ns1.hostingprovider.com
✔ ns2.hostingprovider.com 

You need to update your domain's DNS settings:
1️⃣ Log into your domain registrar.
2️⃣ Find the DNS settings.
3️⃣ Change the Nameservers to your web hosting provider (e.g., Cloudflare, SiteGround, Bluehost). 

If your domain expires, you may lose ownership. Most registrars offer a grace period (30-60 days) to renew.

To avoid expiration:
✔ Enable Auto-Renewal in your registrar account.
✔ Set reminders to renew manually if needed.
