Add a domain

Open Domains in the left-hand menu. The table lists every domain on your account with its Kind, Status and Expires on date. The Add a domain panel on the right has three tabs.

Tab	Choose it when…	Kind shown in the list
Register	You want a new domain name.	Registered
Transfer	You own a domain elsewhere and want greneIT to be the registrar.	Transfer
Link	You want to keep your registrar but let greneIT run DNS.	DNS only

Register a new domain

1. Click the Register tab.
2. Type the name you want in Search, for example yourbrand.com, and click Check availability.
3. Pick a suggestion marked Available. Names marked Taken belong to someone else. Unpriced means we can’t sell that ending (TLD) yet.
4. Fill in Registrant information: your name, email, phone and address. These details are required for the domain’s ownership record. They are filled in from your profile where possible.
5. Click Pay and register.
6. Check the Confirm domain charge pop-up. It shows Due today and Then each year. Click Continue to payment to pay by card. On invoiced accounts, click Approve and add invoice instead.

The domain appears in your list once payment completes.

Transfer a domain to greneIT

Before you start, at your current registrar:

• unlock the domain (remove “transfer lock”),
• turn off DNSSEC,
• get the auth code, sometimes called the EPP or transfer code.

Not sure who your registrar is? Click the magnifying-glass icon next to Domain (Look up current registrar).

1. Click the Transfer tab.
2. Enter the Domain and the Auth code.
3. Fill in Registrant information.
4. Click Pay and transfer and confirm the charge. A transfer includes a one-year renewal.
5. Your old registrar may email you to approve the transfer. Approve it to speed things up.

You can follow progress on the domain’s page. See Nameservers and transfers.

Link a domain you already own

Linking keeps the domain at your current registrar, while greneIT hosts its DNS, SSL and protection.

1. Click the Link tab.
2. Enter the Domain and click Link domain.
3. Confirm the charge with Approve and link.
4. Open the domain from the list, go to the Nameservers tab and copy the nameservers into your registrar’s control panel. See Nameservers and transfers.

Statuses

The Status column shows where each domain is in its lifecycle, for example pending, active or pending transfer. Click a domain to see more and to manage it.
