Domain Registration & Transfer

Your domain name is your address on the internet. It is what customers type to visit your website or send email to your business, such as worldspice.net.

WorldSpice can help you register a new domain, transfer an existing domain, and keep everything properly connected.

Register a New Domain

Starting a new business, website, or online service? We can help you find and register an available domain name.

Popular domain endings include:

• .com

• .net

• .org

• .biz

• .info

Other options may also be available. Registration periods and pricing can vary depending on the type of domain you choose.

Once your domain is registered and connected, it may take some time before the new information is visible everywhere online.

What Is a Domain Name?

A domain name is the easy-to-remember name people use to find you online.

Instead of remembering a long string of numbers, customers can enter a name such as yourcompany.com. Your domain can be used for:

• Your company website

• Business email addresses

• Customer portals

• Other online services

A registered domain name is unique. Once someone registers a name, it cannot be registered by someone else unless the current owner gives it up or allows it to expire.

Choosing a Domain Name

A good domain name should be:

• Easy to spell

• Easy to remember

• Closely related to your business

• Short enough to type without mistakes

Most domain names can include letters, numbers, and hyphens. They cannot contain spaces, and they normally must begin and end with a letter or number.

Domain names are not case-sensitive, so YourCompany.com and yourcompany.com work the same way.

Is Your Domain Available?

The name you want may already be registered. WorldSpice can check its availability and help you find a suitable alternative when necessary.

It is a good idea to register an important business name early so someone else does not claim it first.

Domain Renewals

Domain registrations must be renewed to remain active. WorldSpice can help you keep track of your renewal and avoid an unexpected expiration.

Be cautious of letters or emails from unfamiliar companies asking you to renew or transfer your domain. Some may look like bills even though they are advertisements or transfer requests.

Contact WorldSpice whenever you are unsure whether a domain notice is legitimate.

Transfer Your Domain to WorldSpice

Already have a domain registered with another company? WorldSpice can help transfer its management to us.

Transferring your domain allows you to manage its registration, renewal, DNS, website, and email services through one local provider.

To begin a transfer, you will usually need:

• Access to your current domain account

• Access to the domain owner’s email address

• The domain unlocked for transfer

• A transfer or authorization code from your current provider

The domain owner must approve the transfer. Some recently registered, transferred, or updated domains may temporarily be unavailable for transfer.

You may not need to transfer your domain to use WorldSpice website or email services. In many cases, we can connect your existing domain by updating its settings. Our support team can help determine the best option.
