How to buy hosting with a new domain

You can purchase one hosting plan and eligible domain registrations in the same order. Choose the domain carefully: registration is a separate purchase, and correcting a spelling mistake may require buying another name.

Place your order #

1. Open the hosting plans on our website. Choose a plan and add it to your cart.
2. Open domain search. The checkout may also offer Register a new domain. Search for the complete name you want, such as example.com.
3. Review the availability result, registration term, and quoted amount. Add an available name to your cart.
4. Sign in to the customer account you want to use for the service, or create an account through the offered registration process.
5. Review Your plan and domain at checkout. With one new registration, checkout displays that domain. With several, choose Primary domain for hosting. The remaining names stay separate domain registrations.
6. Enter accurate billing and registration details. Supply the requested international phone number with its country code, and review the registration consent.
7. Check domain spelling, term, hosting plan, billing period, taxes, and the final total. Complete payment once and save the order number.

Finish activation #

Open My Account → Hosting services (or Services). Hosting may show Awaiting domain registration until the registrar confirms the chosen new name. Once payment and registration are confirmed, account creation can proceed without waiting for DNS. Use My Account → Domains to review the registration once it is available.

When hosting becomes Active, select the website and open DNS & SSL. Choose Keep my DNS provider or Use Lucid nameservers, follow the displayed records or delegation instructions, and complete the DNS check. Then request the website's SSL certificate. Use the dashboard tools or Open Virtualmin to build the site. An active hosting account does not mean that content, public DNS, or HTTPS is ready.

If checkout or setup stops #

A search result does not reserve a name. If the quote expires or availability changes before payment, remove the affected item and obtain a fresh quote. If you already paid, contact support with the order number before placing another order.
