1. Choosing a Domain Name
Before registering a domain, consider:
A name that reflects your business or brand
Short and easy-to-remember wording
Avoiding hyphens and complex spellings where possible
Selecting the most appropriate extension (such as .com, .co.uk, or .net)
Choosing the right domain helps improve credibility and recognition.
2. Searching for a Domain
To search for a domain:
Log in to the client portal
Navigate to Domains
Use the domain search tool to check availability
Review available extensions and pricing
If your first choice is unavailable, the system may suggest alternatives.

Once you find an available domain:
Select the domain name and extension
Choose the registration period
Complete the checkout process
Submit any required registration details
Your domain will appear in your client portal after the order is completed.
4. Domain Registration Details
During registration:
Ownership details are collected as required by domain registries
WHOIS privacy options may be available depending on the extension
Some domain extensions require additional verification
Ensure all registration details are accurate to avoid issues later.

The domain status will show as Active in the client portal
You can manage DNS, nameservers, and renewals
