Registering a Domain
There are two reasons to register a domain with DNSimple:
- It’s a newly purchased domain.
- To register a domain for which you’re already managing the DNS.
We recommend enabling auto-renew whenever possible to avoid your domain expiring. Learn more about what happens when a domain expires, and why you want to avoid it.
To register a domain
- Choose the relevant account, and click the Add new menu on your Dashboard.
- Click Register domain.
- Choose an available domain name.
- Click Add new contact to provide the registrant’s contact details, or choose a contact from those you’ve already created.
- If applicable, choose whether you want WHOIS privacy protection and/or auto-renewal enabled on the domain.
- Click Register [domain name].
If the domain was registered successfully, you’ll be taken to a screen confirming your registration.
The total registration price will be held on your card immediately. Your card will be charged once the registration completes. If the registration fails, funds will be released.
