Register a domain

Register a new domain from Networking → Register Domain (or the equivalent entry point in your panel).

Before you start

1. Create at least one registrant contact under Networking → Registrant contacts (name, address, email, and phone as required).
2. Use Verify on that contact so the registrar can accept it before or after checkout, depending on your flow. If DNS changes are blocked until verification completes, finish verification first (see the registrant contacts article).

Steps

1. Enter the full domain (for example example.com) and run the availability check.
2. If the name is available, choose how many years to register (the form offers the allowed range for that extension).
3. Select the registrant contact that will own this domain at the registry.
4. Optionally enter a promotion code if you have one.
5. Continue to checkout and pay. After payment and provisioning, DNS for the domain is managed under the same Networking area.

Pricing is calculated when you check availability and at checkout; it depends on the domain ending (TLD) and term—use the panel for current amounts.

After registration

• Open the domain from the Networking list to see expiry, renew by date, nameservers, and registrar options.
• Auto-renew: when the domain is fully provisioned, you can turn auto-renew on or off so the domain is renewed automatically before expiry (subject to billing and registrar rules).
• Transfer lock (registrar lock): helps prevent someone else from transferring your domain away without your action. You can lock or unlock from the domain details when the service is provisioned.
• Auth code (EPP): if you need to move the domain to another registrar later, you can request or reset the transfer code from the domain details (keep it secret).

If provisioning fails, the list may show Retry and a short error from the registrar—fix the issue (often contact data), then retry.
