Find your domain

A domain name is your website’s unique online address — for example, yourbrand.com. Instead of using complex IP numbers, visitors simply type your domain into their browser to find your site.

Owning a domain makes your business or personal brand more credible, memorable, and easy to access. Registering a domain with Hostking ensures your online identity is secure and easy for customers to find.

Most domains are registered for at least 1 year, with options to register for multiple years. At Hostking, you can enable auto-renewal to ensure your domains never expire accidentally.

Yes — if you already own a domain elsewhere, you can update its nameservers or DNS records to point to your Hostking hosting account without transferring ownership.

Most domains enter a short grace period after expiry where you can still renew them. After that, they may be released for public registration — enable auto-renewal to avoid losing it.

Yes, you can register as many domains as you need in a single order, and manage them all from one Hostking account.

A domain is your online address, while hosting is the server space where your website files live. Both are required to run a website.

If your desired domain isn’t available, you can try other extensions (like .net, .org, or .co.za) or use our domain search tool to find smart alternatives.

Yes. Domains are digital assets. You can list your domain for sale and transfer it to a buyer using the standard EPP transfer process.

Domain registration is usually instant once payment is processed, so you can start using your new domain right away.

The first-year price is a promotional rate for paying annually up front. The renewal is our standard catalogue price, and we print it on every plan card rather than hiding it in the terms, so there are no surprises in year two.
