Domain registration process

Check domain availability

The first step is to check if the domain name you have chosen is available using the search engine on our website. If it is available, you can order it immediately since no one else owns it yet. If the domain name is already taken, we recommend adding words or characters that suit your profile or choosing a different domain extension as an alternative.
Order domain

To order a domain, simply add it to your cart. During the process, you will have the option to choose the registration period and, if needed, add a hosting service. Next, provide your billing details. Once you have confirmed the contents of your cart and your billing information, you can complete your order by accepting the Terms and Conditions and clicking the "Order" button.
Registration tasks

After placing your order, the registration process continues in your user account. Here, you can provide ownership details and complete the domain payment. The registration process typically takes around 24 hours.

Domain transfer process

Check domain availability

If the domain search on our website shows the status as "Taken," only a domain transfer is possible. This involves changing the registrar and requires written consent from the current owner. If the domain is not currently owned by you, you’ll need to contact the current holder directly. However, if the domain is already under your ownership, you can proceed with the transfer by clicking the "Transfer" button.
Submit AUTH code

Click the "Transfer" button to start your order. During the process, you can first select the number of years you would like to extend the domain registration and optionally choose a hosting plan. After providing your billing information, review the services in your cart. If everything looks correct, confirm and initiate the domain transfer by accepting the Terms and Conditions and clicking the "Order" button.
Transfer tasks

For domains you have ordered, simply provide the ownership details, choose your name servers, and complete the payment. For domain transfers, you will usually need an authorisation (auth) code from your current registrar to proceed.

Questions & Answers

What makes a good domain name?

The domain name should be short, easy to remember, eye-catching, and, of course, unique! Additionally, remember that only available domain names can be registered. So, once you've found the right domain name, check its availability in the domain name search tool. If it's available, you can proceed to purchase the domain name.

How long does it typically take to register a domain?

The domain registration is done online, which allows an average registration time of 3 working days for .uk domains and 24 hours for international domains.

Can I register domains with accents?

Yes, since 2004, it has been possible to register accented domain names ending in .uk.

What is domain transfer?

If a domain is already taken but has been transferred to you by the current owner, or if you are the current owner and wish to change providers, you can transfer the domain. To initiate the transfer, use the domain search engine, just as you would when purchasing a domain. Enter the domain name you want to transfer into the search field and select "transfer."

Why is it necessary to provide owner details?

By ordering a domain, we do not reserve the chosen domain name yet, as the registration request will be sent to the central domain registrar only after the owner details have been provided. Without the ownership details, we do not know who is the domain's owner, so it cannot be registered. Therefore, please provide these details as soon as possible to speed up the domain reservation process!

Is it possible to renew domains automatically?

Automatic domain renewal is enabled by default, ensuring domains are automatically renewed using available credit balance before expiration. Alternatively, manual renewal is an option, with notifications provided prior to expiry for timely manual renewal.

Is it possible to forward the domain?

Yes, domain redirect can be useful in case of shortening URLs, moving a web page to a new address, or even preventing typos.

How can I update my domain settings?

Once logged in, you can easily change your domain settings within our website's administration interface.

What should I do if my domain owner details have changed?

Provided that the appropriate documents are available, domain ownership details can be modified.

Do you really need a domain name for a website?

Creating a website involves both domain registration and hosting. The domain name serves as the address where the website can be found, while web hosting is where the website's content is stored.

How can I monitor multiple domains at the same time?

To check the availability of multiple domain names, enter each name separated by spaces in the search box. If you omit the domain extensions, our system will automatically display the six most common TLDs along with their contact details in the results. Of course, these two methods can be combined.
