Need a new name? Search and register it right in the panel. Every domain comes with free WHOIS privacy protection, full DNS control in the panel, and a free SSL certificate when you point it at a site. It renews automatically, so it never lapses.

Search and register

  1. Search for a name

    Open Domains Register domain and type the name you want, like yourbusiness.com. You'll see whether it's available and its price, the same name on other extensions, and more ideas. Prices include privacy protection.

  2. Choose the details

    Registration period
    How many years to register it for. It renews at the yearly price shown after the period you choose.
    WHOIS privacy
    Hides your name, address, email and phone from public domain lookups. Free, and on by default.
    Renew automatically
    Renews the domain 30 days before it expires, paid from your wallet first, then your saved card. You can turn it off at any time.
    Owner details
    The person or company the domain is registered to. Registries require real details; with privacy on, they aren't shown publicly.
  3. Pay and register

    Pay by card; funds in your wallet are used first. Registration usually takes less than a minute, and the domain's page updates by itself.

Searching for a domain name: the name is available, with its price and other extensions.
Search a name: availability, price and other extensions at a glance (example prices).

Point it at a site

Open the domain from the Domains page, choose a site under Point at site, and confirm. Rabbitflare points the domain and its www address at the site, sets up the DNS and issues a free SSL certificate. It starts working once its DNS updates, usually within minutes. To move it to another site later, choose the other site and point it again.

Manage its DNS

The domain's page lists its DNS records. Add, edit or remove A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV and NS records, for example to use the domain for email with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. Changes take effect within a few minutes.

Renewals and settings

  • Renew automatically renews the domain 30 days before it expires, from your wallet first, then your saved card. The domain's page shows the price and date of the next renewal.
  • WHOIS privacy protection can be turned off or on at any time. It's free.
  • Owner details can be edited; a new email address may need to be confirmed.

Transfer a domain away

  1. Turn off the transfer lock

    On the domain's page, turn off Transfer lock. It stops the domain being moved to another registrar, so leave it on otherwise.

  2. Get the transfer code

    Under Transfer code, choose Get transfer code and give the code (also called an EPP or auth code) to the registrar you're moving to.

New domains can't be transferred in their first 60 days.
