Occasionally as a Rocketspark Design Partner, you may need to buy a domain on behalf of your client. The most common reason for this is to make sure the domain name is secured before starting to design the site.
Step 1: Create the Site
Make sure that you have set them up an account through your design studio. If you are unsure how to do this please follow this guide here: How do I add a new client website to my design studio?
Step 2: Getting the domain name
- In the backend of the dashboard of the site, head to Domain Names.
- Go to 'Register a domain name'
- You will need to make sure the domain name is available for purchase otherwise you may need to change the domain name slightly.
- When filling out the details make sure to add in the customer's details.
- When it comes to the payment method, we do suggest adding in your clients card details but you can always add yours in and invoice your client directly for the domain name.
Once the domain name is registered you can design the website and when you are ready for it to go live, just go through the Upgrade Now process. How do I invite clients to upgrade and go live?
