Domain registration is available through Dotster at $15/year per com/net/org domain. Your first year of domain registration is free if you purchase a design package along with your hosting, or if you sign up for at least 12 months of hosting with a basic or higher hosting plan.

If you are entitled to a free domain name with a design package or 12-month pre-paid hosting plan, we will register it for you. Do not register it yourself.

If you have any questions, please contact us. Domain registrations, renewals, and transfers are non-refundable.

Tips for Selecting your Domain

• Choose a domain name which contains your company/organization name, if possible. For example if your business is called Bob Smith's Used Carts, try www.BobSmithUsedCars.com, www.SmithUsedCars.com, etc. This is often easier for visitors to remember than something like www.TheUsedCarMan.com
• Your domain name should contant at least one word related to the type of company/organization or your primary product. Using the example above, you should try to include the words "car" or "cars", or even better both "used" and "cars". This technique can help improve search engine placement
• Your domain should be as short as possible while still meeting the first two items above. For example, www.BobSmithUsedCars.com is a much better choice than www.BobSmithWantsToSellYouQualityUsedCars.com, since the latter can be difficult to remember
• Domain names are not case sensitive. If you register www.bobsmithusedcars.com, any combination of upper and lower case characters such as www.BobSmithUsedCars.com will be yours as well.
• Domain names can contain letters (remember, case insensitive), numbers, and hyphens "-". Characters like _, *, $, @, #, etc. are not allowed.
