Answers for domains, hosting, and SSL.

Domain registration reserves a unique web address such as yourbrand.com. Once registered, you control where it points to your website, email, DNS, or other online services. Browse all extensions

Keep it short, memorable, and easy to spell. Match the extension to your audience: a global gTLD like .com for worldwide reach, or a ccTLD like .hn, .cr, or .co.uk for a local market. Search domain prices

Yes. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, obtain the authorization (EPP) code, and start the transfer from your SoxDomains account. Most gTLD transfers include a one year renewal. View transfer pricing

WHOIS Privacy replaces your personal contact details in the public WHOIS database with proxy information. It is available on supported TLDs and the current annual rate can be reviewed on our privacy page. Check WHOIS Privacy details and pricing

Some country code domains require a registrant with a local address. A trustee service provides that local contact on your behalf so you can register the domain from anywhere. Review trustee service and pricing

No. You can register a domain to secure your brand name and hold it for the future, or use it just for custom email addresses without ever building a website.

You can try a different extension (like .net instead of .com), add a relevant keyword to the name, or check the WHOIS database to see if the current owner might be willing to sell it. Search alternative names

You can renew your domain manually from your SoxDomains client area, or enable auto-renewal to have our system automatically process the payment before expiration. Access client portal

Domain transfers typically take between 5 to 7 days to complete, depending on how quickly your current registrar releases the name after the transfer is initiated. Start a domain transfer
