A domain host is an internet service that manages your domain name.
Domain hosts use Domain Name System (DNS) records, to connect your domain name to your GoodBarber project to edit its urls for instance.

Your domain host is typically who you bought your domain from (registrar). If you don’t remember who your host is, search your email archives for billing records about registration or transfer of your domain name. 

Depending on the configuration you chose, you need to create A and CNAME records or you need to edit your domains DNS in the control panel of your host to set your domain on your GoodBarber project.

Find below a non exhaustive list of documentation available to guide you for your setup.
Don't hesitate to contact your domain host, who can help you use their interface.
