Basic Information

  • When you request that we register a domain name on your behalf, you will be the owner of the domain name (also called the domain name "Registrant"). We will register the domain in your name.
  • How can I find out if a domain name is available for registration?
  • Use our domain name search tool by clicking Here
  • After registering a domain it typically takes between 24-72 hours for the domain to fully propagate and become accessible on the internet. This is the normal internet propagation time.
  • If you had us register a domain name on your behalf, we'll begin sending you renewal notices a month before your domain name is set to expire.

How to Register A Domain Name

  • To register a new domain name, you'll first have to log into your billing account at cp.hostek.com.
  • Once logged in, click the Order link at the bottom of the Quick Navigation Links at the right hand of your screen.
  • On the next page, click the Register Domain link under the Browse Products & Services section. This will take you to a page where you can enter the domain name you wish to register and check for its availability. If the domain shows it is available, click the Add to cart button to proceed with the order.
  • At this point you can choose whether or not to add ID protection to your order. If you choose to add ID protection, then your contact information will not displayed when a WHOIS lookup is performed on the domain name. This page also lets you choose what name servers you want the domain to use. By default, the system will fill this in with the correct name servers for your hosting plan. If you manage your DNS elsewhere though, this will let you fill in the appropriate name servers. When you click the "Update Cart" button on this page, you'll be taken to the shopping cart.
  • On the shopping cart page, you'd click the Checkout button and verify your billing information and choose the payment type. After you complete the order, you'll need to pay the Invoice that is generated in the My Invoices section of your account. Once the invoice is paid, our team will register the domain for you and send a confirmation email once complete.
