Can I register a domain, but I want the domain to be hosted on another provider?

Yes, you can register a domain through MKhost and host it on another provider.

First, check that the domain name you want to register is free for registration. If it is already taken try another name or other extension.

You can conduct a domain name check on the following link (https://mkhost.com/en/domains/register/ ) 

When you finally decide on your domain name, you can order the domain, of course it's free for registration.

You can register your domain and place it on our server, just to have it and keep it for the future when you plan to activate it and create your own website. Or you can register a domain and host it on another server. MKHost will not be against it, nor make any obstacles. You can freely host your domain wherever you want and in the future if you want to change the hosting company or change DNS servers, you can do it whenever you want.

1. If it is an international domain (com / org / net or other similar extensions) - then with the activation of the domain you get a special control panel for the domain from us where you can manage and change DNS servers, contact information at any time, we even give free forwarding, free management on domain records ... If necessary, you can transfer the domain to another registrar. MKhost will never interfere. You have direct access to the domain and you can unlock it, as well as get the EPP transfer code.
2. If it is a Macedonian domain (com.mk / mk / net.mk) - then you should have pre-purchased hosting space with a provider before / that is, to be placed on the hosting server where you plan to host your site. In this process, there are few requests that the Macedonian Registrar requires when registering a new domain name and when changing the DNS servers:

The applicant is obliged, prior to submitting the request, to provide at least two correctly set name servers for the subject domain, visible on the Internet.

Properly installed name servers (DNS servers) are those servers that have adequate program support for name servers, and as such:

• have exactly one SOA record for the subject domain

• have a NS record for each name server

• have an A record for each name server

• All name servers provide an identical response to queries regarding the previous three points.

MKhost can register the .mk domain name with any DNS servers that meet the above mentioned conditions. If there are errors in the domain setting, MKhost will notify you to take measures and correct the mistakes for the successful registration of your mk domain.

The registration period of the international domains is instantaneous, immediately after the domain payment.

The registration period of Macedonian domains usually lasts from 1-5 working days and depends on whether the domain of the hosting provider will be properly set up in advance. I've listed’DNS servers for the new domain, and it's not properly set up, the procedure will take a longer period of time until you manage the errors by setting it as we have explained above.

If the domain setting procedure is not clear to you, provide this information to your hosting provider and they’ll know exactly how to set up the domain.

Other operations after Macedonian domain registration are:

• the ability to transfer the domain name to another person or company through MKhost at any time
• the possibility to transfer the domain name to another company by issuing a document from MKhost
• the possibility to delete the domain so it’ll no longer exist
• change DNS servers as needed

MKhost will notify you through e-mail after the activation of the Macedonian domain.

domains for our customers so far and we can say that we are the first company in Macedonia
