Registering a New Domain with SillyHost

Registering a domain name is the first step towards establishing your online presence. SillyHost makes the process straightforward and affordable.

Step-by-Step Registration

  1. Log in to your SillyHost client area at sillyhost.co.uk/portal.
  2. Navigate to Domains > Register a New Domain from the top menu.
  3. Enter your desired domain name in the search box and click Check Availability.
  4. If the domain is available, click Add to Cart.
  5. Choose your registration period (1 to 10 years) and any add-ons such as WHOIS privacy protection.
  6. Review your order and proceed to checkout.
  7. Complete payment using your preferred method (credit card, PayPal, or account credit).

What Happens After Registration

Once your payment is confirmed, the domain is registered immediately. You will receive a confirmation email with your domain details. If you purchased hosting alongside the domain, the nameservers will be automatically configured to point to our servers.

Important Considerations

  • Domain names are first-come, first-served. If someone else registers the name before you complete checkout, it will no longer be available.
  • Certain domain extensions such as .co.uk and .org.uk require accurate registrant details for Nominet compliance.
  • We recommend enabling WHOIS privacy to keep your personal information hidden from public WHOIS lookups.
  • Domain registration fees are non-refundable once the domain has been provisioned.
