Wondering how to buy a domain with GoDaddy? In this GoDaddy domain tutorial,
you'll learn how to check domain availability, buy a cheap domain name and do private domain
registration with GoDaddy. So let's get right into this GoDaddy guide on how to
buy website names, namely how to register a domain name with the GoDaddy domain setup.
To buy a domain with GoDaddy, head over to GoDaddy.com,
and paste in the search bar the domain name you wish to buy, such as domain name.
As you can see, domainname.com is taken,
but by paying a $99.99 brokerage fee, you may be able to still get it.
If you wish to purchase this same domain name but with a different ending instead, such as .online,
.biz or .tech, you are able to do so. All you have to do is
click on 'add' on the right to start the purchasing process of that domain name.
However, if you wish to purchase a domain name that ends in .com, you'll have to repeat this
search process over and over until you locate a domain name that's available. Once you locate
a domain that's available, such as femperial company, click on 'get it' to add it to your cart.
You can add additional domains with other endings to your cart as well if you so wish.
Once you're set on the domains you'll be buying with GoDaddy,
click on your cart. As you can see, I'm buying a domain with a .com domain registration.
Select the amount of time you wish to purchase that domain for,
so either 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 5 years or 10 years. I'll go ahead and select 1 year.
This domain purchase includes a discount for the first year, though I'll be renewed at a
higher rate in the following year. If that looks good to you, click on 'looks good, keep going'.
If you so wish, you can add full domain privacy and protection with GoDaddy for $9.99 per domain
per year, ultimate domain protection and security for $14.99 per domain per year, though it usually
costs $29.99, or neither one of those. You'll be protected against domain hijacking and malicious
transfer, and this will also prevent accidental domain loss due to an expired credit card
and other billing failures. For the purposes of this video, I'll select 'no thanks'.
If you don't have a website yet, you can also start your website for free with GoDaddy
for as little as $9.99 per month. Since I already have a website, I'll unselect this option.
GoDaddy additionally provides you with the option to create an email address
that matches your domain. These include Email Essentials, where you get 10GB of email storage,
and email, calendar and contacts in sync across all devices, Email Plus,
where you get 50GB of email storage, and email, calendar and contacts in sync across all devices,
and Business Premium, where you get 50GB of email storage, full Office apps on 5 PCs or Macs and 5
iPads or Windows tablets per user, and Office mobile apps for smartphone access and editing,
or you can select neither one of those. For the purposes of this video, I'll select 'no thanks'.
Once you're happy with private domain registration, website and email address
features that you selected, click on 'continue to cart' on the right to continue buying a domain
with GoDaddy. Make sure that the items added to your cart are correct, or if you wish to
add additional domains, enter a GoDaddy promo code if you have one, and then click on 'ready to pay'.
If you don't have a GoDaddy account yet,
create one by continuing with Facebook, Google or Email, or if you do have a GoDaddy account,
click on 'sign in' to access the GoDaddy login page. Login to your Godaddy account.
Enter your billing information and payment details, and then click on 'save and continue'.
Double check that everything is correct, and then
click on 'complete purchase' at the bottom to successfully buy a domain with GoDaddy.
