If you are still on your trial with Rocketspark you can choose to pre-register a domain name following these steps or choose your domain as part of the Upgrade Process. Existing customers please follow the steps below to register additional domains.
Rocketspark only supports a limited number of domain extensions for registration, view the supported domain types. If the specific domain type is not available you can self manage your domain.
- Log in to your website Dashboard using your login details.
- Click Domain Names in the left-hand menu.
- Click on the Register a new domain name button.
- Enter the domain you are looking to register. Ensure you enter this correctly as this is the address that your website will be live at. Click Buy Domain.
NOTE: If the domain name already exists and another person currently owns it you will be unable to register the same domain, you will have to choose a different domain name.
If you currently own the domain name you are trying to register you need to transfer your domain to Rocketspark rather than registering it. We have a guide on how to do this here.
