How do Domain Names Work?

Domain names work a bit like addresses. It’s how people will find you and navigate to your website online. We use domain names instead of IP addresses as long strings of numbers are hard to remember!

Your domain name will be unique to you – use our domain name search tool now to see if yours is available.

Domain Name Search Tips

To make your domain name check as easy as possible, follow these pointers:

• Keep your domain name relevant to your business. This will mean you’re easier to find in search engines.
• Making your domain name as short as possible will make it easier to remember!
• Location-specific domains, like co.ie or co.uk, can be incredibly effective if you’re based there.

If your domain name is already taken, try changing it up. Hyphens and swapping words can work well.

How do Domain Name Fees Work?

The fee for registering your domain name works on an annual renewal basis. You can sign up for multiple years during your application, but payment must be made at the time of submission.

Your domain name will remain yours for as long as you keep paying for it.

Domain Name Registration

Once you have found your choice using our domain search you will need to apply to have it registered. The domain name registry ensures there are no duplicates and strict records are kept. Once your application has been successful your domain name will be registered to you for as long as you decide.

Life after your New Domain

Once you’ve registered your new domain name, consider adding a hosting account or a website building tool. These services allow you to maximize the value of your domain by activating it for use. Add email addresses to business cards, your domain name to your signage and posters and contact a website designer about a custom built website.

Why do I need a domain name?

A domain name is required for people to find your website. Think of it as a home address – if you don’t have an address to give visitors, they’ll never find your house…or in this case, your website!

How much do domain names cost?

Domain name pricing varies depending on the type of domain (.COM, .IE, .CO.UK). You will pay an initial registration fee to cover the first year (or multiple years). A renewal fee will then be payable for each further year you wish to register your domain. You can also register upfront for up to 10 years!

Do you charge to move domains away or make any changes to domains?

The only fee you need to pay to LetsHost as a domain only customer is your registration and renewal fee. LetsHost don’t impose any hidden charges for standard actions such as DNS changes or EPP key requests

How long does it take to register a domain name?

Most non .IE domains are registered in seconds whereas .IE domains require a little extra verification before they are registered in your name. Don’t worry though, .IE domains are reserved in your name once we receive payment and your order has been accepted. The domain is then reserved for you for up to 27 days to allow time to send us the required information. Most .IE domains are fully registered within 24 hours.

How many domains do I need?

In most cases registering one domain should suffice but if you have a new business idea or wish to protect a brand or product name abroad, you should register the domain in as many domain extensions as possible.

I’ve heard IE domains are not easy to register – is this true?

.IE domains unlike .COM domains require a little additional information to show you have a connection to the name you require (to prevent domain squatting) and a connection to Ireland. Our .IE domain Wizard can step you through the requirements for IE domain registration

Can I transfer an existing domain to LetsHost?

If you have a domain with another provider you can move it to LetsHost so we bill you annually for its registration. Speak to our team who will guide you through the process.
