How Can We Help?
The first step is to see if the domain name of your choice is available. You can check a domain registrar like this one to see if anyone has registered the domain you had in mind.
If the one you had in mind is available in the TLD extension of your choosing (.com, .net, .org, etc.), congrats! You’re off to a good start. You can then proceed to register & pay the yearly registration fees associated with this domain so that it becomes yours.
However, if the domain you wanted to register is taken, you have 3 options:
- Look to see if the domain you want is available in a different TLD extension (.com, .net, .org, etc.)
- Look for a different domain name entirely
- Or contact the owner of the domain name using the publicly listed WHOIS information to see if they’d be interested in selling.
This domain registrar is great for beginners as well as pros, because with every domain registration, comes free hosting.
The free hosting option is fantastic for those who want to get started right away and don’t wish to seek out a web-host separately. Something to keep in mind.
However, if you have money to spend, and you want a domain that’s sure to be already registered, you can always explore a site like Sedo or Flippa — 2 excellent marketplaces to purchase existing domain names / existing websites.
