Find and register your business domain
Type the name you want. The storefront tells you if it is available and shows other options. A .com costs $24.99 a year, the first year and every year after.
How to choose a good name
Make it easy to say
If you say it on the phone, the other person should be able to type it without asking how to spell it.
Prefer .com
It is what most people type out of habit. Use another ending only if the .com is taken and does not point to a similar business.
Skip hyphens and numbers
They are easy to forget and easy to mishear.
Check it is not someone else's brand
Search the name on Google and in the USPTO trademark database before you buy.
Already own a domain somewhere else?
You can transfer it to our storefront. Before you start, unlock it at your current registrar and get the authorization code (also called the EPP code). The storefront shows the transfer price before you pay.
What usually comes after the domain
- Business email so you write from you@yourbusiness.com, from $4.99 a month per inbox.
- Web hosting to publish your website, from $4.99 a month.
- A website built for you, if you would rather not build it yourself.
Domain questions
How much does a .com domain cost?
A .com costs $24.99 a year at our storefront, with prices as of , before taxes and fees. Renewals are charged at the list price on the day they renew. We do not use a first-year price that triples later.
Is the domain registered in my name?
Yes. You are the registered owner of the domain, and you manage it from your own storefront account. We are the reseller; the registrar of record is Wild West Domains, LLC. If you ever want to move it to another registrar, you can transfer it.
What happens if I forget to renew?
The registrar of record sends renewal notices before the domain expires, and you can turn on auto-renew so it does not lapse. If a domain does expire, there is usually a grace period to recover it, but recovery can cost more. The safest choice is to leave auto-renew on.
Do I need hosting to own a domain?
No. You can register the domain today and connect it to email or a website later. Many businesses start with just the domain and a business email address.
Can I bring a domain I already own somewhere else?
Yes. Use the transfer form on this page. You need to unlock the domain and get the authorization code from your current registrar. A domain registered or transferred in the last 60 days usually cannot be transferred yet.
