Registering New Domains

 
     

At some point, you may decide to purchase additional domains for your XSite. Since we do not limit the number of domains you can attach to your XSite, you're welcome to purchase as many domains as you like and mix those in with domains you've already purchased from other registrars. To register a new domain name through your XSite...

 

     
 

Registering Your First Domain

 
     
  1. When you're ready to register your first domain, visit the Manage Domains step of the XSites Wizard. To jump straight to the Manage Domains step of the Wizard, click the XSite button at the top of the screen and then click Manage Domains in the Content pane on the left.
  2. In the screen that appears, type the domain name(s) you wish to register and click Check Availability.
  3. If the name you picked is not available, your XSite will prompt you. Just click OK and try another domain.
  4. Once you find a domain name that is available, your XSite will prompt you about registering it. Just click OK to register your new domain and then click Continue to return to the domain management screen.

 

     
 

Registering Additional Domains

 
     
  1. Click Manage Domains in the Content pane on the left.

  2. Click Manage and Purchase Domains in the screen that appears and then click Add More Domains.
  3. In order to purchase domains through your XSite, you first need to purchase domain credits. To do so, click Purchase Domain Credits, click Checkout, fill out your credit card information and click Charge Card. Once your domain credit purchase completes, close the window to return to your XSite's domain registration tools.
  4. Type the domain names you wish to register into the provided boxes and then click Check Availability beside each to verify that the domains are available for purchase.

  5. Once your XSite has verified the availability of each domain, check the Available box beside each.
  6. When finished, click Register Selected Domains to register the domains and attach them to your XSite.

Once the registration is complete, your domain name may take 24 to 48 hours to become publicly available through the Internet as is typical with all new domain names. Once that period has eclipsed, your domain will direct customers to your XSite without any additional effort on your part.
