# Register a domain

> Search for a domain in the console, check its price and register it, on its own or together with hosting.

Search for a domain in the console, put it in your cart and check out. You can search without logging in. To order for a billing account, you need the **Place orders** permission.

## Find a domain

**1. Search**

Go to [console.perfgrid.com/domains](https://console.perfgrid.com/domains), or click **Domains** in the sidebar, then **Register or transfer**. Type a domain or just a name, and click **Search**.

**2. Add the domain to your cart**

Click **Register it** next to a domain that is **Available**. The button changes to **In your cart**. Click it to open the cart.

A name that says **Taken. Transfer it to us if it is yours.** is registered somewhere else. If it is yours, see [Transfer a domain to PerfGrid](https://perfgrid.com/docs/domains/transfer/transfer-a-domain.md). Premium names can't be ordered in the console: [contact us](https://console.perfgrid.com/contact) instead.

## See the prices for every domain ending

Click **See prices for all domain endings** under the search box. Registration and renewal prices are per year, a transfer is paid once. All prices are excluding VAT.

## Fill in the domain details

**1. Open Domain details**

In the cart, open **Domain details** on the domain's line. It opens by itself while something is missing.

**2. Choose the nameservers**

* **Add to** one of your hosting accounts: the domain gets that account's nameservers.
* **New hosting account**: choose a hosting plan, and add it to the cart on its page.
* **Free DNS hosting**: we host the DNS zone. Click **Add free DNS hosting**.
* **My own nameservers**: enter your DNS provider's nameservers, one per line.

**3. Check the rest and save**

Choose the **Registration period** and whether you want **WHOIS privacy**. Under **Registered to**, choose who owns the domain: **My billing details**, a saved [domain contact](https://perfgrid.com/docs/domains/manage/domain-contacts.md) or **Someone else**. Fill in any extra fields the domain ending asks for, then click **Save**.

**4. Check out**

Click **Continue to checkout** and place the order. See [Order a service](https://perfgrid.com/docs/console/getting-started/order-a-service.md). For a `.dk` domain you also accept Punktum dk's agreement at checkout.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Continue to checkout** stays greyed out until every line in the cart is complete, and the cart says **Fix or remove the lines marked above to continue.** Open **Domain details** on the line with the red text to see what is missing.

Ordering hosting at the same time? Enter the domain under **Domain name** on the hosting plan's page and choose **Register it** under **The domain**. The domain then uses the hosting's nameservers.

## After you order

Once the order is paid, the domain shows under **Domains** as **Being registered**. We email you when it is registered. Every year we invoice the renewal before the domain expires, at the renewal price of the day. See [Manage a domain](https://perfgrid.com/docs/domains/manage/manage-a-domain.md).
