The Basics - New Domain Information

Why Register a Domain Name?

There are many reasons you may want to register a domain name for your site. Your default Web site address without a domain name looks like this:

http://www168.pair.com/~example

A domain name is easier to remember and looks more professional:

http://www.example.com/

Another bonus you get with a domain name is the ability to use it for e-mail. You can set up mailboxes such as info@example.com or webmaster@example.com.

How to Register Domain Names

You can add as many domain names as you'd like to your pair Networks Web hosting plan.

If you already have a pair Networks account, you can register domain names directly from the Account Control Center (ACC):

  • Log into the Account Control Center (https://my.pair.com)
  • Click Domain Hosting Management
  • Click Register
  • Follow the registration instructions

If you haven't signed up for a Web hosting plan yet, you can register one domain name during the signup process. You can register more domain names once your account is set up. If you register a domain name via the Account Control Center and add it to your Web hosting account, your domain hosting set-up fees will be waived.

Our domain name registration service supports domain names ending in .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, .us, .cn, and .ws.
