Register a domain search, choose, order.
Your domain name is your address on the internet. This guide covers choosing a name, searching for it and what happens after you order.
Choosing a good name
- Keep it short and easy to say out loud
- Avoid hyphens and numbers if you can, because people forget them
- Prefer a name that matches your business or project name
- Check the extension (.com, .net, .org and others) that fits your audience
Searching on the Domains page
Type the name on the Domains page. The search checks it across many extensions and shows which ones are available and which are taken. Prices are in USD per year.
A search result is a check only. It does not by itself guarantee registration, because registration relies on third-party providers.
After you order
Domain orders are confirmed by our team. Once the domain is registered you manage it in the PRH Panel. Domains are non-refundable, as stated in the Refund Policy, so check the spelling and extension before you pay.
Keeping your domain
- Keep your account email address current, because renewal notices go there
- Renew before the expiry date so the name does not lapse
- Turn on the registrar lock in the PRH Panel unless you are transferring the domain
