To add a new domain name to your account:
1. Select Add New Domain in the Domain Settings menu:
2. Choose the type of domain you want to register.
To transfer an existing domain or register a nonstandard domain with your account, use the second form:
If you are creating a regional domain (e.g. your_domain.uk) or would
like to use a different domain registration company, no automation is
provided. Thus, first you need to make sure that you have a valid domain
name. Enter it into the lower box, omitting the www. part.
Following the registration you will get an e-mail notification with the
information to send to your domain name registration company. They will
make appropriate changes on the root DNS servers, and within a couple of
days your domain will be accessible at the new IP address. In the
meantime, your site will be available by the instant domain alias.
Domain registration is a standard procedure. First, you purchase a
domain name from a domain registration company. Second, you register
this domain name with your web-hosting provider and get your new IP
address. Third, you send this IP address to your domain registration
company, where it is set as the IP address for your domain name. It is
only then that your site becomes available to all Internet community.
This is true both of standard and nonstandard domains. In case of
standard domain names, however, the registration process is automated.
You can't transfer domains that are already in use in the system. Nor
can you transfer third level domains if they use a second level domain
owned by another user.
