Register the perfect domain name

You can register a new domain name in just a few minutes by following these 4 simple steps:

• Choose a domain name and check if it is still available. You can do so in the header above or via our home page.

• Select the registration period for your domain name. You can register your domain name for up to 10 years in most top-level domains.

• Provide your contact details and make sure they are all correct. A valid email address is very important, as we use the address to contact you about your domain name and other services.

• Proceed to checkout to finish the registration of your domain name.

As soon as your payment is processed, you can start using your brand new domain name.

You can register a domain name without having a website. Most entrepreneurs do so, ensuring they own their domain name before launching their website.

We recommend registering your domain name as soon as possible. Domain name registrations work on a first come, first served basis, meaning the first person to register a domain name becomes the rightful owner. To avoid someone else registering a domain name based on your idea or company name, it's best to claim it yourself as soon as possible.

No, it is not possible to change your domain name after registration.

There will be no downtime during the transfer of your domain name. We transfer all (DNS) settings with your domain name to ensure your email address and website remain available.

You can request the transfer code for your .be domain name via your current registrar or via DNS Belgium.

The transfer code will be sent to the domain name holder's email address

You pay for a 1 year extension of your domain name. The transfer itself is completely free.

A website is a collection of web pages on the internet. Your domain name is the unique address for your website, allowing visitors to find your website.

Depending on the top-level domain (or domain name extension), there are some requirements to take into account when registering a brand new domain name.

These are some general requirements:

• A domain name must consist of at least 2 characters and is limited to a maximum of 63 characters.

• All letters from a to z, all numbers from 0 to 9 and a hyphen (-) are allowed.

• Some top-level domains also allow the use of special characters, such as à, é and ô.

• A domain name cannot start or end with a hyphen (-).

• A hyphen (-) can never occur as the third and fourth character at the same time.

Figuring out how to choose a domain name requires a lot of thought and consideration. These guiding principles help you find your perfect domain name.

• Keep your domain name short and simple.

• Avoid using hyphens or numbers.

• Choose a top-level domain that reflects your business.
