Domain Name Registration or Transfer

What is a Domain?

A domain name is a human-readable “address” on the Internet. Domain names usually have extensions, like .com, .net, or .org, e.g. example.com. Fun Fact: The most expensive internet domain name was sold for $13 million.

How do I register a Domain?

Registering a domain name is easy. First, you will need to check if your domain is available, which can be done using the domain name checker. Once you have confirmed that your domain is available, you can register it by simply following the prompts.

What is a ccTLD?

Each country around has its own country code. In the United Kingdom the country code is .uk, while the New Zealand code is .nz. The ccTLD for Australia is .au and makes up the .com.au, .net.au, .org.au, .asn.au and id.au domain names. These ccTLDs allow simple identification of the domain name registry in a particular region. For example, an email or webpage request for an Australian domain is sent to the Australian registry (AusRegistry) database. This contains the DNS server records of the web hosting company, and will then forward the request there. The request is then resolved by the DNS servers, which then directs traffic to the correct hosting server location.

Can I transfer my Domain to FASTDOT ?

Yes, of course! Moving your domain to FASTDOT is quick and easy. Simply follow the instructions on our Domain Transfer page to get started.

What is an EPP Code / Domain Password?

Your Domain Portfolio

Protect your brand identity by purchasing all relevant extension (e.g, .com, .net) of your domain. This will prevent unauthorized parties from registering your name. In addition to securing your name, you will also make sure that users are always redirected to the correct domain (e.g if a user forgets that your extension is .com, and they type in .net, they are redirected to the correct location)

Can I register any domains?

A handful of domains will have restrictions on them, which means you can only purchase them if you meet or exceed certain criteria or have authorization (some examples are .gov, .edu and .mil). But most extensions are available to everyone. In fact, most country code Top Level ccTLDs are available for anyone to purchase, even if you don’t reside in the country code in question.
