Domain FAQ
Get answers to common domain questions. Need more help? Browse our comprehensive Knowledge Base or get in touch with our team.
What is a domain name?
A domain name is your website's address on the internet (like example.com). It's what people type to find your website.
How do I search for a domain name?
Just type your desired name and we'll show what's available. Use our domain checker.
What is a domain extension?
A domain extension (TLD) is the part after the dot, like .com, .co.uk, or .org. Different extensions serve different purposes and regions.
What's a gTLD?
A gTLD (Generic Top-Level Domain) is a global domain extension like .com, .net, or .org that can be registered by anyone worldwide.
What's the difference between .uk and .co.uk?
Both are valid UK extensions. .co.uk has been available longer and is the most recognised, while .uk is shorter. If you own a .co.uk, you have first rights to the matching .uk until the reservation period ends.
How much does a domain name cost?
Pricing varies by extension, starting from £6.99. Registration, renewal, and transfer prices are shown before checkout with no hidden fees. See our domain pricing.
Why do some domains cost more than others?
Price depends on the registry that runs each extension, not on us. Some extensions also carry a premium price set by the registry if the name is considered high-value or particularly short.
What is a premium domain?
A premium domain is a name the registry has priced above standard rates, usually because it's short, generic, or in high demand. Premium pricing applies to the initial purchase and often to renewals too, and is shown clearly before you check out.
How do I purchase a domain name?
Search for your domain, add it to your cart, and complete checkout with your details. Start with our domain checker.
Can I register more than one domain at a time?
Yes, add as many domains as you like to your cart and check out together in a single order.
What details do I need to supply when registering?
You'll need your name, address, email, and phone number. This information is required for domain registration compliance.
Do I need to verify my identity to register a domain?
Most extensions don't require verification. Some, including .uk, .eu, and a number of country-code extensions, have their own eligibility rules and may ask for extra details, such as a local presence or trading address, at registration.
Will my details be public?
WHOIS privacy is free on eligible domains. UK and EU customers qualify on supported extensions; customers elsewhere qualify on .uk, .co.uk, .me.uk and .org.uk domains. Availability depends on the extension and registry rules. Read our privacy policy.
What is WHOIS Privacy?
WHOIS Privacy hides your personal contact details from public WHOIS databases, replacing them with proxy information to protect your privacy and reduce spam.
Is WHOIS Privacy available outside the UK and EU?
Customers outside the UK and EU receive free WHOIS privacy on .uk, .co.uk, .me.uk and .org.uk domains. UK and EU customers receive it on supported extensions. Other extensions may not support privacy services, and some registries publish certain details regardless of privacy settings.
Can I register a domain for someone else?
Yes, you can enter their name as the registered owner during signup and manage the domain on their behalf.
Are there any restrictions?
Most domains don't have restrictions. Some extensions have specific eligibility requirements. Check our support centre for details.
What characters are allowed?
Letters, numbers, and hyphens are allowed. Domains cannot contain spaces or start or end with a hyphen. More domain rules.
Can I register a domain with accents or non-English characters?
Yes, many extensions support internationalised domain names (IDNs) with accented or non-Latin characters. These are converted to a compatible format automatically, and browsers display your original characters.
Can I disable auto-renew for my domain?
Yes, you can disable auto-renew through your Ecenica Dashboard. Disable it before the next renewal date to avoid charges. See our terms and conditions.
What happens if my auto-renewal payment fails?
We'll email you and retry the payment before the domain expires. Update your payment details in your Dashboard as soon as possible to avoid losing the domain.
Can I get a refund for a domain name?
No, registration fees are non-refundable once registered because registry fees are non-refundable. Double-check spelling before checkout. See our terms and conditions.
Do I have to use a domain name for a website?
No, you can use domains for email only, redirects, or simply reserve them for future use. Email hosting is available.
Can I transfer my domain to Ecenica?
Yes. Move your domain from another provider to Ecenica through your Dashboard or contact our support team for help.
Can I transfer my domain away from Ecenica?
Yes, you're free to transfer out at any time once the domain is past its registration lock period. Get your authorisation (EPP) code from your Dashboard to start the transfer with your new provider.
Should I register early for my business?
Yes. Register domain names early to protect your idea before someone else does. Start registering now.
What's included with registration?
Exclusive use of the domain, free DNS, control panel access, support, SSL web forwarding, email forwarding, and domain locking.
Do I own my domain for life?
You own it as long as you renew it. Register for up to 10 years to lock in prices where supported.
What happens if I don't renew?
Your domain expires and may eventually become available for others to register. Manage renewals in your Dashboard.
Can I get back a domain that has already expired?
Often, yes. Most extensions have a grace or redemption period after expiry where the previous owner can still renew it, usually at a higher fee. After that window closes, the domain is released for anyone to register.
Does it include free email or free web hosting?
Free email forwarding and SSL web forwarding are included. Email hosting and web hosting are available separately.
Can I use it with another web host?
Yes, you can connect your domain to any service worldwide. Learn how in our support centre.
How do I point my domain to my website or email provider?
Update the nameservers or DNS records from your Dashboard. Changes typically take effect within a few hours, though they can take up to 48 hours to fully propagate. See our DNS guide.
