Domains
Domain registration without surprises
Search a name, register it, and manage DNS, renewals and contact details from the same account that holds your hosting and invoices.
How registration works
Registration is a three-step process, and the domain is in your name from the moment it is created.
- 1
Search and choose
Check availability inside your account and pick the extension. Prices for each TLD are shown before you confirm.
- 2
Complete checkout
Your registrant contact details are used to create the registry record. We register the domain immediately after payment.
- 3
Verify and go live
Click the verification link sent to the registrant email, then point the nameservers or DNS records at your site.
What comes with a HostingPur domain
Registration is only the start. These are the controls you get in your account afterwards.
DNS management
Edit A, AAAA, CNAME, MX and TXT records yourself, or delegate to your hosting nameservers.
Privacy where it is allowed
Where the registry and extension support it, privacy protection replaces your personal details in public WHOIS with forwarding contacts.
Renewal control
Turn automatic renewal on or off per domain, with reminders before the expiry date.
Contact and lock settings
Update registrant, admin and technical contacts, and manage the registrar lock that prevents unauthorised transfers.
The registry rules that matter
Domain names are governed by ICANN policy and by each registry. These are the rules that most often catch people out.
- The registrant email must be verified after registration, or the registry can suspend the domain
- A 60-day lock blocks transfers after a new registration or a completed transfer
- Registrant contact details must stay accurate; inaccurate WHOIS data can lead to suspension
- Renewal prices are set by the registry and can differ from a first-year promotional price
- Some country-code extensions publish registrant details even when privacy protection is on
- Expired domains enter grace and redemption periods before they are released to the public
Registration, transfer or renewal?
Registering
The name is free and you are creating it for the first time. The registry charges the registration price and the term starts today.
Transferring
The domain already exists at another registrar. You need the authorisation code, and the transfer normally adds a year. Read the transfer guide.
Renewing
The domain is already yours and the term is ending. Renewing keeps it registered; if it lapses, restoring it gets expensive. Read the renewal guide.
Managing DNS
Point the domain at your hosting, your email provider or a proxy. DNS changes are free and do not affect the registration term.
Questions people ask
How does domain registration work?
Search the name in your HostingPur account, choose an available extension, and complete checkout. We register the domain with the registry on your behalf and it appears in your account with its expiry date, nameservers and contact details.
Which contact details are published in the WHOIS database?
Registries require accurate registrant contact details for every domain. Where the extension and registry allow it, privacy protection replaces your personal details in public WHOIS with a forwarding service. Some country-code registries publish registrant details regardless of privacy settings.
Why am I asked to verify my email address?
ICANN rules require registrars to verify the registrant email address after registration. If the verification link is not clicked, the registry can suspend the domain, so please verify promptly. The same applies whenever you change the registrant email.
When can I transfer or move a domain I just registered?
ICANN applies a 60-day lock after a new registration or after a transfer completes. During that window the domain cannot be moved to another registrar, although you can still change nameservers, DNS records and contact details.
Is the renewal price the same as the first year?
Not always. Registries set different prices for registration, transfer and renewal, and promotional first-year rates are common across the industry. Your account shows the renewal price for each domain before you confirm, so there is no surprise at renewal time.
