Find Your Perfect Domain Name

Domain registrations typically last for one year, but you can register a domain for up to 10 years in advance. We recommend registering for multiple years to:

• Lock in current pricing (prices may increase in future)
• Protect against forgetting to renew
• Improve SEO (search engines favor domains registered for longer periods)

We'll send you renewal reminders 60, 30, and 7 days before your domain expires.

When you register a domain, your personal information (name, address, phone, email) is added to the public WHOIS database. Domain privacy protection:

• Hides your personal information - Replaces it with our proxy information
• Reduces spam - Protects you from spam emails and phone calls
• Prevents identity theft - Keeps your personal details private
• Reduces domain hijacking risk - Makes it harder for others to target your domain

We include domain privacy protection FREE with every domain registration at PDTHosting.

Transferring your domain to PDTHosting is easy and usually takes 5-7 days:

1. Unlock your domain at your current registrar
2. Get the authorization code (EPP code) from your current registrar
3. Initiate the transfer at PDTHosting using our domain transfer tool
4. Enter the authorization code when prompted
5. Approve the transfer email sent to your domain's administrative contact

Bonus: When you transfer a domain to PDTHosting, we add 1 FREE YEAR to your registration!

If your domain expires:

• Day 1-30 (Grace Period): Your domain is suspended but can be renewed at the standard rate
• Day 31-60 (Redemption Period): Your domain enters redemption and can be recovered for an additional fee
• Day 61+ (Pending Delete): Your domain is deleted and becomes available for anyone to register

We send multiple renewal reminders before expiration. Enable auto-renewal to ensure your domain never expires accidentally.

Once a domain is registered, the name itself cannot be changed. However, you can:

• Register a new domain - Register the correct domain name if available
• Set up domain forwarding - Forward your old domain to your new domain
• Use both domains - Point both domains to the same website
• Sell your domain - If you no longer need it, you can sell it on domain marketplaces

Before registering, double-check your spelling. Some common mistakes include: example.com vs exmaple.com or yourbusiness.com vs yourbussiness.com
