Registering a domain - What should I look out for?

Domain prices

Different domain prices

The prices of a domain are influenced by various factors. One of the most important factors is the popularity of the domain extension such as .com, .net, .org, etc. The costs for the administration of domains vary depending on the registry. There are top-level domains that are aimed at specific target groups and therefore have a higher price. In the case of country code domains, the countries themselves determine the price the registry charges for their domains. The business models of the registrars differ greatly. Some are profit-oriented and others only work to cover costs. The registry can decide to declare certain domains as premium domains. The price for this is then much higher than the regular price. Inexpensive domains are often supported by temporary marketing campaigns. The less well-known a top-level domain is, the greater the reservations of some Internet users are to whether the URL is a trustworthy source.

free domains

Free domains

We advise against free domains, as they often have poorer visibility in search engines and appear less trustworthy. In addition, you never have full control over your domain, and in some cases you cannot simply transfer it to another provider. If you are creating a professional website, it is important to have your own domain. It always pays to purchase a paid internet domain and secure all the benefits and features that come with it.
buy domain

Buy your own domain

If you are ready to buy your own Internet domain, you can do so quickly and easily via our website. If you are already a customer, we recommend that you order your domain via the netcup Customer Control Panel. For many registries, the order is processed there in real time. We offer a wide range of domain extensions at fair prices, so you can be sure to find a domain that suits your business or brand. We look forward to helping you build your online presence.

Buy domain - FAQ

What is a domain?

An internet domain is the name under which a website can be accessed on the internet. Every website or internet service has a unique number, the so-called IP address. However, as it is difficult to remember and distinguish long numbers, domain names were introduced. This is a freely selectable word that is separated from the top-level domain by a dot. The word or domain in conjunction with the top-level domain can only be registered once worldwide in order to ensure a unique assignment to a unique IP address. When someone wants to visit a website, they enter the domain name into the browser. The browser then automatically searches for the associated IP address and displays the content of the website. Domains are also used to create individual and unique email addresses. An email address typically consists of a username followed by an @ symbol and the domain extension. To summarize, an Internet domain is an important part of the Internet that makes it easy and intuitive to find websites and online services.

Can I buy a domain forever?

A domain cannot be purchased forever, but can only be used for a limited period of time depending on the conditions of the respective registry. Once the registration period has expired, the domain must be renewed in order to continue using it. However, it is possible to own a domain for a longer period of time by renewing it regularly and paying the corresponding fees. Many domain registrars also offer automatic renewal options to ensure that the domain does not accidentally expire and is lost.

How do I register a domain at a reasonable price?

The price of a domain depends primarily on the desired top-level domain. Prices vary greatly depending on availability and popularity. Netcup offers many different top-level domains at very reasonable annual fees.

How can I buy a domain that is already taken?

If you want to buy an assigned domain, you must contact the current owner and submit a purchase offer. As a rule, buying a domain that has already been assigned is considerably more expensive than buying a new domain, as the current holder is very likely to demand a higher price for the domain. In addition, the current owner may not want to sell the desired domain. If you buy an assigned domain, make sure that all conditions are met by the seller and that the domain is successfully transferred to you.
