8. Frequently Asked Questions
8.1. After doing domain name resolution, it still prompts that it is not safe.
Usually, it is because there is a problem with the website's security certificate (SSL certificate). SSL certificates are used to encrypt data transmission between the website and the user (i.e., https access) to ensure the security of information. If there is a problem with the certificate, the browser will issue a warning.

Parsing record value B.example.com-----exclusive link B

8.3. Does the domain name need to be registered?
Whether a domain name needs to be registered depends on its resolution and service content. If your domain name resolution points to a server in mainland China and your website plans to provide web services to the public in mainland China, then registration is required. If the domain name resolution points to a server outside mainland China (such as Hong Kong, China), there is no need to complete a filing with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, but a filing with the Public Security Bureau may be required.
