When you buy a domain name, it is not a
requirement that you use it for a website or that any web page appears when you
type the domain name into a web browser. Domain ownership does not require
website hosting. However, DNProtect rewards domain names with better DNP Scores
if they have a current web page on them and "resolve" to a web page.
If domain names do resolve, and have a web page associated with the domain name, a web
server is serving up that web page. Each web server has an IP address
associated with it. Therefore, DNProtect reports what the IP address is in our
report. When calculating a domain name's risk, we may use that IP address in a
review or calculation, especially if that IP address has deemed to be
associated with other domain names that have lower DNP Scores.
