Search for a name, add it to the cart and register it.

On this page

Steps

  1. Search for the name on the Domains page or in the client area under Domains → Register a new domain.
  2. If it's available, add it to the cart. If not, try another extension (.net, .co, .com.eg) or a variation of the name.
  3. Choose the registration period (one year or more).
  4. Check out and pay. The domain appears under My domains once registration completes.

Choosing a good name

  • Short, easy to say and easy to spell.
  • Avoid hyphens and doubled letters; people mistype them.
  • Consider registering both .com and your country extension, so no one else takes it.

Registering a domain gives you the right to use it for the period you paid for. Renew it before it expires to keep it. See Renewing a domain.

Country extensions

.eg domains (such as .com.eg) need documents from the registrant. See Registering a .eg domain.
