Registering a domain
Checking and ordering
- Check whether the name is free: with the domain search on the website, or in the panel under "Orders" → "Register a domain".
- Choose the registration period (1 year or more). The price for each period is shown before you order.
- Optionally choose a hosting account to add the domain to right away. It then works with our nameservers from the first moment.
- Pay for the order, by card or by bank transfer (see "Payments and plans").
The domain is registered as soon as the payment arrives.
Before your first registration, complete your profile: name, address, city, postal code, country and phone. For a company, fill in the company name too. These details become the owner of the domain in the registry. They must be correct, because in a dispute over a domain, the owner is whoever is on record.
The details are sent to the registry in Latin letters. If they are written in Cyrillic, we transliterate them automatically. Your profile keeps them as you wrote them.
Confirming your email (ICANN)
After registering domains such as .com, .net and .org, the registry sends an email with a confirmation link. Be sure to open it. If the email isn't confirmed within 15 days, the registry suspends the domain until you confirm it. While it waits for confirmation, the registration shows as "verification pending".
Managing the domain
On the registration's page (under "Domains") you can:
- Change the nameservers – ours or your own.
- Lock or unlock the domain. A locked domain can't be moved to another registrar without your knowledge. Keep it locked unless you are transferring it yourself.
- Turn on WHOIS privacy, where the domain's extension allows it.
- Get the transfer (EPP/auth) code, if you want to move the domain to another registrar.
Renewal
30 days before expiry we create a renewal order for 1 year and send you a reminder. More reminders follow 7 days and 1 day before expiry. You can also renew earlier from the registration's page.
If a domain expires, it stops working: website, mail, everything. For a while after expiry it can still be renewed. After that it enters a redemption period, when restoring it costs a lot more, if it is possible at all. Renew on time.
The supported extensions and their prices are on the price list. We don't offer .bg domains.
