Domain Registration

Find a web address for your business, portfolio, or next project.

What to check

Search for a name in the AffixCloud portal. The search shows available extensions and lets you review registration terms before placing an order.

Check several extensions

Start with the name you want and compare alternatives if your first choice is taken.

Review the ongoing cost

Check registration and renewal rates, billing currency, and any eligibility rules for the extension.

Connect your website

Once the domain is active, use the DNS records your hosting provider supplies. Keep your existing mail records if you already use email on the domain.

Set up the domain after registration

  1. Verify your account details

    Use a contact email you can access without the new domain. Review any confirmation message from the registrar.

  2. Decide which address to promote

    Choose the root domain or its www version as the main address. Check that both reach the expected site after you connect hosting.

  3. Record the renewal date

    Save the domain name, registrar, and expiry date. Decide who will review renewal notices and keep payment details current.

Common questions

Do I need hosting to register a domain?

A domain and hosting serve different purposes. You can register a domain first and point it to your website when the site is ready.

Is the name reserved after I search?

A search only checks availability at that moment. The registrar must complete the registration before the name is yours.
