How to register a domain name

It's easy to register your own domain name! In this guide, we tell you how to do it. Start with checking if the name you want to register is available.

How to register a domain name

1. Search for the domain name
   Type in the domain name and click on "Search" to see if it is available.
2. Choose a registrar
   If the address is available, you can register it, which you do through a registrar that is authorized by us. In the list with our registrars, you can sort by country of residence, as well as which registration services and technical services they provide.
3. Order directly
   When you have chosen your registrar, you can carry out the registration of your domain name on the registrar's website.

Done! Now you can start to use your new domain name.

Changing registrar

If you are not satisfied with your registrar, you can change anytime you want. Here’s how:

1. To change the registrar, you need the authorization code, which is a type of password that verifies your identity and prevents unauthorized parties to change registrars without your approval. Contact your registrar to find out where you find your authorization code. If you do not have the contact information for your registrar, you can find it in the search field below.
2. Ask your new registrar for help with the change. You will be asked to provide the authorization code, see paragraph 1 above.
3. When the change has been done, you will get a confirmation from your new registrar.
