Free Domain Whois Lookup Whois Search

You simply need to choose the domain name you wish to register, like HostGuru, and then purchase it from the domain name registrar.

To check if the domain you desire is available and to make a purchase, all reputable registrars will include an easy-to-use search option.

Obtaining a domain name is simple, but there's a chance that the one you want is already taken, particularly if you want to use a well-known extension like.com. As a result, you might need to be adaptable when registering a domain name, choosing a name that isn't your top pick or choosing a name with a different domain name extension.

The average cost of a domain name is KSh 299 per year. A domain name, however, can cost less than this for the first year if there are special offers available.

It may cost substantially more to purchase a domain name if it is already registered to someone else. Some domain names are categorized as premium domain names and may cost extra money. When you purchase an owned or premium domain, you typically simply need to pay the standard annual renewal charge.

You can transfer a domain name between domain name registrars by contacting the registrar you want to transfer the domain name to. You will then be sent a form to confirm that you want to transfer the domain name. You can learn more about how to transfer your domain to HostGuru here.

If you want to transfer a domain name to another person, you will need to contact the registrar your domain is currently with.

It can take up to 48 hours for your website to become visible to all users on the internet. The DNS propagation process usually takes no longer than 24 hours, but sometimes delays can occur with some internet providers, pushing it beyond the 24-hour period.

You can purchase a domain name without hosting. To set up a website, you will need some sort of hosting solution. (Almost all domain registrars also provide hosting.)

If you want to secure a specific domain name while it is still available but aren't yet ready to build a website, purchasing a domain name without hosting may be a good option.
