Register Domain Names

Unfortunately, as the registry does not allow for domain names to be changed after purchase, this is not possible. Once you have registered and reserved the domain name, you own that domain name through its expiration date. Be sure to ensure that the spelling of your domain name is exact when you register it (i.e., ensure that there are no typos or misspellings).

If you did register a domain that was not spelled correctly, or want to change the domain name completely, you may also choose to just register the new correctly-spelled domain name. Then, let the old one expire after the period you have purchased it for has passed.

No. There's no need to register the domain with "www" as the "www" portion isn’t actually a part of your domain name. Just register yourdomain.com without the "www". When setting up hosting for the domain, you can set up the "www" record to be hosted for the domain name as well.

All purchases of a domain registration require immediate payment. Manual renewals also require immediate payment. However, DomainCity bills accounts for domains that are set to automatically renew when the automatic renewal is processed.

Registrations are generally non-refundable. However, some TLDs can possibly be refunded within 5 days of the registration date. Please submit a support ticket to inquire if the domain registration is available for a refund.

Domain name registrations will be instantly registered after we receive the order payment and it is successfully processed. You will be notified by e-mail when processing is complete. You can also track and view the status of your domains within our Client Portal.

Here is a comparison of differences between domain registration and web hosting:

Domain Registration

Gives you sole ownership and rights to the name of your site. No one else has access to the actual name of the domain and it is taken off the market. However, owning the domain registration is only half of the process needed to have a website or email at your domain – you also need to connect that domain name to a service that offers you server space and bandwidth for your website content and email.

Web Hosting

Provides the server, its network connection, its configuration, and its upkeep. You just need to upload your site to the server and configure your email via an online account control panel. DomainCity offers both, and you can manage everything in one place at DomainCity client Portal.
