When choosing a domain name, it is important to choose a name that is easy to remember, pronounce, and spell. The domain name should be relevant to your business or brand and preferably contain short and catchy words. Avoid numbers and dashes if possible, as these can be confusing. Try to choose a name that is unique and does not infringe on existing trademarks. If necessary, use domain search tools to check availability and explore different options.

Registering a domain name is usually a quick process and can be completed within minutes to hours. Once you have chosen an available domain name and completed the registration, the domain name will be active almost immediately, although it can sometimes take up to 24 hours for the DNS settings to be updated globally. We will guide you through the entire registration process and ensure that your domain name is registered quickly and correctly.

If your desired domain name is already taken, there are several options you can consider:

• Choose an alternative domain name: Try variations or synonyms of your desired name, or add relevant words.
• Domain extensions: Consider alternative domain extensions such as .net, .org, .info or a specific country extension (.nl, .be, .de).
• Buy a domain name: Sometimes taken domain names are available for purchase through a domain market or through negotiations with the current owner. We can help you find and negotiate the purchase of a taken domain name.
• E-commerce platforms: Such as WooCommerce and Magento for online stores.
• Domain backorder: You can place a backorder, which means that you will automatically try to register the domain name as soon as it becomes available.

Domain names need to be renewed periodically to remain active. Most domain names are renewed annually, but you can also opt for longer renewal periods of 2, 3, 5 or even 10 years. We will send you timely reminders before your domain name expires, so you can renew it without interruption. The renewal process is easy and can be completed online via our customer portal. If you have any questions or problems, we are always here to support you.

The costs for registering and renewing a domain name vary depending on the chosen domain extension (.com, .nl, .net, etc.) and the period for which you renew the registration. On average, a standard .com or .nl domain name costs between €10 and €20 per year. Premium domain names or specific extensions can be more expensive. We offer transparent and competitive prices with no hidden costs, and you can always see the exact costs for your specific domain name and renewal period on our website or by contacting us.
