How to register domain name

  1. Click “View Cart.”
  2. Select either 1 year or 2 years from the drop down menu. When you are registering a domain name, you are purchasing the rights to use it for a limited amount of time. Select the amount of time that you think you’ll most likely want to have your website for. It’s normally best to underestimate, because you can always renew (and extend) your registration later.
  3. Click “Create an Account.”
  4. Fill out the details, then click “Create Account” at the bottom of the page.
  5. Click “Checkout.”
