Domain name availability search

Before registering a domain name, you have to check for its availability. Which means querying databases to make sure the domain name you set your eyes on can be registered.

To do this, go to our ‘Domain Name Registration’ page and run a search.

Classic search

We know this first step doesn’t always have the expected results: the domain name with the extension you wanted may not be available.
That’s why we offer you a series of domain alternative solutions in our search results.

Note 💡

If you don’t know which TLD is right for your domain name, you might want to let our filter system guide you. You can select a geographical location, an industry or a Registry and browse the related TLD list.
If you aren’t sure which TLD to choose yet, you can simply type your desired label (without TLD) in the search bar. Search results will be generated for all available TLDs.
If your domain name contains compound terms, you can separate the two parts of the term with a space. The search results will contain suggestions both with and without a hyphen.

Bulk search

If you would like to look for and order multiple domains, you can use the bulk search feature and enter a list of domains.

Under the search bar, click on ‘Bulk domain search’
Enter the domains in the search bar (one entry per line).

Custom search

If you want to check the availability of several specific extensions, you can perform your search on a selection of extensions.

Below the search bar, click on “My extensions selection”
Search for and select the desired extensions

Completing the domain name order

Once the domain name has been selected, you can add it to your cart. Other services can also be added directly to your cart: hosting plans, SSL certificates, etc.

If you don’t need to add any other services to your order, you can click on “View cart” and follow the required steps to complete your order.

Completing the domain name order

Once you have added the domain(s)/service(s) to your shopping cart, you can go to your cart to finalise your order.

If you do not need to add any other services, click on “Continue” and follow the steps to finalise your order.

Choosing contacts and nameservers

In the first step of the order process, you must provide the various contact details required to register a domain name:

the registrant,
the administrative contact,
the technical contact,
the billing contact.

You can provide the same contact details for all of them, or customise each contact by unchecking the “Use this informatiuon for all contacts” box.

Finally, you can choose your DNS servers: Netim’s or custom servers.

Adding email hosting

In the second step of the order process, you can choose to subscribe to an email address hosting plan.

Order summary and payment

Finally, the last step allows you to view your order summary and download it in PDF format if necessary.
This is also the page where you can enter your discount codes or referral codes.

Before proceeding to the payment stage, you must accept the special and the general terms and conditions of service and use.
We also invite you to check your billing address.

Proceed to the final payment stage by clicking on “Select a payment method”.
Find out more about the different payment methods accepted at Netim.

Important ⚠️

Completing an order does not necessarily mean the registration has been made, some Registries have longer validation procedures. You can go to your Netim Direct account to check your order status:

1. Click on your name in the upper right-hand corner of the screen
2. Select “Orders and invoices“
3. Check your order status on the chart
