Cash in on your idea with a unique domain name

You can register a domain name in 5 easy steps:

• First check whether there are specific requirements to registering the domain name extension of your choice. There are no restrictions for commonly used domain name extensions such as .be or .com. Please note that you are not allowed to register a trademark or other protected name in any domain name extension.

• Check if the desired domain name is available for registration. You can do this using the search bar on our homepage.

• Choose the registration period for your domain name. It can be up to ten years. The registration periods may vary for each domain name extension.

• Fill in the remaining information. It is important that it is filled in correctly.

• Finally pay your domain name. You can easily pay with credit card, PayPal, bank transfer or direct debit.

Yes, you can register a domain name without actively using it. It often happens that companies register their domain name before having a website.

We recommend that you register the desired domain name as soon as possible, because the registration of domain names works according to the so-called 'first come, first served' principle. This means that the first to register a domain name also becomes the owner. To prevent someone else from registering your domain name, it is best to register it yourself as soon as possible.

It is not possible to change your domain name after registration.

If you're using a domain name with a hosting package and want to change the domain name, register the new domain name first. Afterwards, request a new hosting package and load the website on it. Finally, you have to cancel the other hosting package.

Tip: We recommend that both the old and the new domain name coexist for a while. That way, visitors keep reaching your website while you inform them about the new domain name. After that you can stop the old domain name.

Yes of course. Your website, domain name and e-mail will remain active! Thanks to our easymove technology, all settings on your domain name are automatically transferred. Your visitors will not notice a transfer at all.

The transfer code is sent to the e-mail address of the domain name holder.
