To order a domain, select Domain on the Rackhost website and follow the simple steps below. If you already have an account with Rackhost, be sure to log in before choosing your domain. This will save you from having to register again, and also prevent the domain address and web hosting site from being under different user accounts.
Choosing a Domain Name
- Use the domain search tool to select the perfect domain or domains. The search engine will offer the 6 most popular domain extensions.
- The domains found will be listed for you, along with their status. You can only register domains that have not been registered by anyone else; these domains will show an Available status. Domains with a Taken status require domain transfer.
- The domain cart allows you to register multiple domains at the same time. To use it, click Add to Cart next to the desired domains. To remove items from the cart, use the Remove button next to the domain name.
- Click the Add to Cart button to view the contents of your cart. You can then finalise your order and select your preferred payment method.
Adding Domain Owner Details
- After placing the order, the domain name will be added to your user account. To finalise the registration, click on the Tasks tab.
- Under the Tasks tab you can see that the ownership details for the domain name you ordered have not yet been entered. Click the Add button in the domain name row and fill in the form provided.
- After filling in the form, you will see the Sign button in the Order Form column. Click on it to sign the declaration electronically by entering a captcha.
Paying for Your Domain
- After completing the domain registration form, the only thing left to do is pay for the service. To do this, click the Payment button in the domain line within the Domains section and choose your payment method from the dropdown menu.
Once you have completed these steps, your domain registration is complete. If any changes occur during the domain registration process (conditional registration or permanent registration), you will be notified via email.
