eUKhost Ltd FAQ

You can buy a domain name directly from eukhost by visiting our Domain Names page. Here, you can search for the domain you want to buy, check that it isn’t already registered to another organisation and, if not, purchase and secure the registration so that you can use it for your website. It’s simple and quick to do. Most domain names are available for between £10 and £20 a year. Although people refer to buying a domain name, what you actually purchase is the registration of the domain name, which gives you sole rights to use it for either one or two years. At the end of that period, you have the right to renew the domain name by paying another registration fee. You can do this for as long as you need the domain name and we can set up auto-renewals so that your registration doesn’t lapse. If you fail to renew, the organisation which oversees registrations, ICANN, will make the domain available for others to register. If you no longer need the domain name, you can either let it lapse or you can sell it.
