A checklist before you buy your first domain

Six things to check: WHOIS privacy, transfer fees, refund policy and more.

Before you pay

  • Is the renewal price shown clearly?
  • Is WHOIS privacy included or extra?
  • What is the transfer fee, and is there a lock period?
  • Is there a refund window?
  • Does the registrar offer two-factor login?
  • Is the name free of trademark conflicts?

When you are ready, compare registrars in the domain list.
