Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers about domain registration.

What is a domain name?

A domain name is the memorable address people use to find a website, such as example.com. It provides an easier alternative to entering the server’s numerical IP address.

What is a gTLD?

A generic top-level domain, or gTLD, is an extension that appears after the final dot in a domain name. Examples include .com, .net, .org, .info, and .biz.

Can anyone register a gTLD?

Most standard gTLDs are available to individuals and organizations worldwide. Sponsored or restricted extensions may have additional eligibility requirements.

Can I own a domain permanently?

No. Domains are registered for a defined period rather than purchased permanently. You retain the right to use a domain while it remains renewed and complies with the applicable policies.

How long can I register a domain?

Available registration terms depend on the extension and registry rules. The available term is shown before checkout.

What if my preferred domain is already registered?

You can review its WHOIS information, explore alternative words, test another split, or ask our specialists whether related options are available.

What is domain privacy?

Domain privacy replaces eligible public registration details with information supplied by a privacy service. Availability depends on the extension and registry policies.

Can I transfer my domain to another registrar?

Eligible domains can be transferred using the required authorization and registrant verification process.

What is domain locking?

Domain locking helps prevent an eligible domain from being transferred without authorization. You can remove the lock when you are ready to begin a legitimate transfer.

Can I transfer an existing domain to Register.ly?

Yes. Most eligible domains can be transferred. The domain may need to be unlocked, and you will usually require an authorization code from the current registrar.

Does Register.ly support DNSSEC?

DNSSEC can be enabled where the registry, namespace and account configuration support it.

Does a domain include web hosting?

No. A domain is your website’s address. Hosting provides the server resources where its files, databases, and applications are stored.

Does a domain include an SSL certificate?

Not necessarily. Domain registration and SSL are separate services unless a specific package states otherwise.
