A domain name is like the address of your website, like an identifier. It allows users and new customers to search not only your website, but also your professional email address and any other services you might associate with it. It is also the basis of the URL for links leading to your website.Technically, a domain name links a human-readable name (your domain name) to a computer-readable address (a series of numbers known as an IP address).

The first thing you need to do when you start creating a website or online store is to choose a domain name, do a search on your domain name availability, and register it.

How do domain names work?
Every domain name is registered or "bought" for a period of 1 to 10 years from a domain registries, which manages domain endings (.net, .fr, .com, .org, etc.).

Check to see if the right domain is available for your business online using our domain name search tool. You'll immediately see a confirmation screen that shows the domain availability. If it is available, you can add it directly to your shopping cart and buy your domain name!

The best way to choose a domain name is to pick one that meets all four of these criteria:

Meaningful
Easy to remember
No strange spelling or grammatical irregularities
Descriptive

The best way to approach choosing a domain name is to think about how you will use it. You will probably share it on social networks, announce it verbally to your friends and family, maybe print it on business cards, or post it on billboards. At the same time, people will probably find you through search engines. Check the availability of your perfect domain with our domains suggestion tools.

For a domain transfer you usually need the so-called “Authcode” or “Transfercode”. You will receive this code from your current provider. Then search for your domain using our domain check. The domain is shown as taken. Click on “Domain transfer”. A window will appear in which you can then enter the authcode. If you need assistance with this, we will be happy to help you.
