Registering Your First Domain

A domain name is your website's address on the internet (e.g., yourbusiness.com). This guide walks you through searching for, registering, and setting up your first domain with {{COMPANY_NAME}}.

Step 1: Search for a Domain

  1. Go to {{SUPPORT_URL}}
  2. Use the domain search bar on the homepage or navigate to Domains > Register a New Domain
  3. Type in your desired domain name (e.g., "mybusiness")
  4. Click Search or Check Availability
  5. Results will show availability across multiple extensions (.com, .in, .net, .co.in, etc.)

Step 2: Choose Your Domain

  • If your preferred name is available, click Add to Cart
  • If it is taken, try a different extension (.in instead of .com) or add a word (e.g., "getmybusiness.com")
  • Select your registration period (1 year, 2 years, etc.)

Step 3: Configure Domain Options

  • WHOIS Privacy — Hides personal details from public WHOIS. Recommended for .com/.net. (Note: .in domains are redacted by the registry by default.)
  • DNS Management and Email Forwarding — Included free with every domain

Step 4: Provide Contact Information

Domain registration requires valid contact details (ICANN/registry rules): registrant name, email, phone, and address. If you have a contact profile saved, it will be pre-filled.

Step 5: Complete Checkout

  1. Review your cart — domain name, registration period, and any add-ons
  2. Choose your payment method (credit card, debit card, UPI, net banking, or account credit)
  3. Click Complete Order
  4. You will receive an order confirmation email and the domain will be registered within minutes

Step 6: Verify Your Email (If Required)

For some domain extensions, you will receive a verification email from the registry. Click the verification link within 15 days to avoid domain suspension.

After Registration: DNS Setup

Point your domain to your hosting by updating nameservers:

  1. Go to Domains > click on your domain > Nameservers
  2. Set the nameservers provided in your hosting welcome email
  3. DNS changes take 2-24 hours to propagate globally

If you purchased hosting and the domain together, nameservers may be set automatically.

Tips

  • Enable auto-renewal so your domain does not expire unexpectedly
  • Choose a domain name that is short, memorable, and easy to spell
