Buy Domain Names for Your Website

A domain offers a way for people to easily navigate the internet. When browsing the internet, domain names are what you type into the URL bar.

If we didn’t have the domain name system, we would have to type in IP addresses, which are complex number combinations that are hard for most people to remember.

Currently, domain names aren’t just to help new customers find your site. They are also used for branding purposes, as if you have the perfect domain with the right domain extensions, visitors will instantly recognise your website.

We make it easy to register your new domain. All you have to do is follow these two simple steps:

1. Enter the domain you want for your business into the search box above, check for availability, and add the domain name you want to the cart.

Proceed to our checkout page, choose the registration term, and pay for your purchase.

After that, you now have a domain registered in your name that will remain yours up until the registration term expires.

If you’re wondering if buying premium domains is worth it, the answer is a resounding yes. This is because a domain is a custom web address for your website that helps you speak to your target market and really bring your business into the online market. And with the right name, customers will instantly recognise the brand or company, attracting a wider customer base.

You can opt for free subdomains, but these contain another company’s branding. On top of that, it makes your site seem unprofessional and sub-par. Having a proper domain name makes your brand more credible and greatly improves your image, which should make the small registration fee more than worth it.

Alternatively, you can get a free domain name if you purchase and sign up for the following Hostinger plans; Business Shared, Premium Shared, Managed WordPress, and Cloud web hosting. These plans come with annual domains registration, professional emails, and everything you need from a high-quality and professional website.

If you own a business or brand, it’s best to include the name of your business in your domain. This is a general rule of thumb as it increases brand recognition, makes it easy to remember your website, and can even bring in scores of customers and website traffic.

Here are some other qualities you need to consider with your domain name:

If the domain you want for your site is already registered, we have a WHOIS search tool to find more information on the owner of the domain. That way, you can approach them and try to buy it from them. Alternatively, you can also wait for their ownership of the domain to expire and buy it afterwards.

With that said, the best option for most people is to think of a new domain or consider different domain extensions.

As enticing as it is, you cannot permanently own a domain. This is because the standard length of domains registration is around one year. After it expires, you can renew ownership of the domain, but you will have to pay the standard price again.

At Hostinger, we offer longer terms for domains registration. We offer a maximum registration term of three years. That way, you don’t have to renew the domain every single year. Additionally, you don’t risk forgetting to renew the domain and someone else buying it.

Yes, if you wish to transfer domains from another registrar to Hostinger, that is possible. To do this, all you have to do is follow these steps;

1. Use our domain transfer tool and input the domain you need to transfer.

Finish the purchase, enter the EPP code that the current registrar should give you.

Wait for the confirmation email.

The process is complete, and you’ve successfully transferred your domain to Hostinger.

Buying a domain isn’t your only option when it comes to registering a website. An option for some people is to use a third-party website. However, the third-party sites retain ownership of your work, and there are significant restrictions that are very limiting.

When you buy domains, you claim full ownership of the site and can do just about anything you want with it. No one else can use that domain, and you can rest assured that you are the only site on the internet that uses the domain.

That way, customers can easily navigate to your site to check out your products or services. On top of all that, if you own your own domain, it adds an air of professionalism to your site.
