**For example**: `yunohost.org` points to the server at `88.191.153.110`.
This system was created to more easily keep track of server addresses. There are DNS registries for Internet names that you must register with. They are called "registrars", which will let you rent certain domain names for a price (between $5 or a few hundred, depending on the root domain and the chosen name). These [registrars](registrar) are private entities authorised by [ICANN](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICANN), such as [OVH](https://www.ovh.co.uk/index.xml), [Gandi](http://gandi.net), [NameCheap](http://namecheap.com) or [BookMyName](http://bookmyname.com). A privacy respecting registrar is [Njalla](https://njal.la/) or [Njalla Onion Site](njalladnspotetti.onion). With Njalla, you can register a domain name with just an email or XMPP address.

It is important to note that subdomains do not necessarily have to send you to wherever the principal domain is pointing. If `yunohost.org` sends to `88.191.153.110`, that doesn't mean that `backup.yunohost.org` has to point at the same IP. You must therefore configure **all** of the domains and subdomains that you want to use.
