Find & Register Your Domain

.com offers universal recognition and highest consumer trust—the gold standard for global businesses and personal brands (always first choice if available). .net provides solid general-purpose alternative when .com is taken, with strong credibility. .org works well for nonprofits, communities, and open-source projects. .io/.dev/.app signal tech/startup identity and are popular with SaaS companies and developers, but cost $30-80/year (premium pricing). .co offers modern alternative to .com, gaining traction with startups. Country-code TLDs (.uk/.de/.ca) build local market presence and regional SEO benefits. New gTLDs like .xyz/.online have $1-2 promotional first-year pricing but mixed brand perception. Best practice: secure .com first as your primary domain, then consider defensive registrations (.net, relevant ccTLDs) for brand protection. Avoid ultra-cheap promotional TLDs with poor consumer trust.

Domain registrations are generally non-refundable under ICANN policy—registration immediately allocates a globally unique resource. Domain names cannot be modified after registration; you must register a new domain if correction is needed. Carefully verify spelling, hyphens, and TLD before checkout. We strongly recommend using our search tool to double-check exact availability and correctness first. To avoid costly mistakes, triple-check your domain spelling and format before clicking "Register."

Domain prices are set by registries and vary significantly by TLD: .com/.net run $10-15/year—best value with universal recognition; .io/.ai cost $30-80/year, popular with tech startups but premium-priced; .org runs $12-18/year, ideal for nonprofits; new gTLDs like .xyz/.online often have $1-2 first-year promos but renew at $10-15/year. Key advice: don't focus solely on first-year discounts—check renewal rates to avoid price shock. For personal sites and SMBs, .com offers the best combination of affordability, trust, and brand recognition. Developers might justify .dev/.app for niche signaling. If .com is taken, .net is the strongest alternative. Avoid ultra-cheap promotional TLDs with poor brand perception or renewal surprises.

WHOIS privacy masks your personal contact information (name, email, phone, physical address) from public WHOIS lookup databases, drastically reducing spam, unwanted solicitation, identity theft risk, and data harvesting by bad actors. LuckVM includes free lifetime WHOIS privacy for all eligible TLDs (.com/.net/.org and most gTLDs)—enable with one click at registration or anytime in your control panel. When enabled, WHOIS queries display registrar proxy contact info instead of your real data, keeping your personal information completely hidden. Strongly recommended for individuals, small businesses, and anyone concerned about privacy. Some ccTLDs have registry restrictions preventing full privacy due to local regulations. We're GDPR/CCPA compliant and automatically redact personal data where law requires.

Transfer benefits: transparent competitive pricing, free WHOIS privacy included, free managed DNS with global anycast, 24/7 technical support, bulk management tools, and API access. Transfer process is straightforward: 1) Obtain authorization/EPP/transfer code from current registrar; 2) Ensure domain is 60+ days old and unlocked; 3) Submit transfer request at LuckVM and pay transfer fee (equals 1-year renewal); 4) Approve transfer confirmation email; 5) Transfer completes in 5-7 days. Your website and email services remain fully operational during transfer—zero downtime, DNS resolution unaffected. Bulk transfer discounts for 10+ domains. We provide full technical support throughout the migration process to ensure smooth transition with DNS record validation assistance.

Domain expiration follows a strict three-phase timeline: 1) Renewal grace period (30 days): renew at standard rates, domain suspended but immediately recoverable with full data intact; 2) Redemption period (30 days): high redemption fees ($100-$300+ depending on TLD, often 10-30× normal renewal cost) plus standard renewal required; 3) Pending delete (5 days): domain released to public registration pool, permanently irrecoverable—anyone can grab it. Prevention strategies: enable auto-renewal (we send 5+ email/SMS reminders starting 30 days pre-expiration), set calendar alerts, maintain current billing contact info, use backup payment methods. Enterprise customers can enforce organizational auto-renewal policies on mission-critical domains. Don't risk losing valuable brand assets or established SEO rankings—set up auto-renewal today.

DNS setup is simple—most users complete it in under 5 minutes: 1) Log into control panel and navigate to DNS management; 2) Add an A record with hostname "www" and value set to your server IP address; 3) Add another A record with hostname "@" (represents root/apex domain) and same server IP. Done—visitors accessing yourdomain.com or www.yourdomain.com will reach your website. DNS propagation timing: typically 1-4 hours for most regions, up to 24-48 hours globally due to DNS caching. We provide free managed DNS service with global anycast for low-latency lookups, detailed documentation, video tutorials, and 24/7 technical support. If you encounter any issues, our support team can walk you through the process or configure records on your behalf to get your site online fast.
