• Visit the http://www.godaddy.com website.

Step 2

• Displayed right on the front page you’ll see a section below the green menu you that says “Start your domain search here…”  Type your ideal domain name in the field and choose your desired domain extension (.com, .ca, ect).

Step 3

• The next page will display whether the domain with your desired extension is available or not.
• Ensure that the check box to the left of the requested domain is checked off and click the “add” button.  This will add the domain to your shopping cart.
• It’s a good idea to register the most common domain extensions if possible.  This will prevent your competitor or cyber squatters from registering these domains.  For example when registering yourcompany.com, you should also consider registering yourcompany.ca and yourcompany.net.
• If your desired domain is not available you may search for alternative domains using the “Search for another domain” feature.
• Once you have added your requested domains to the shopping cart click the orange “Continue to registration” button.

Step 4

• Once you’ve landed on the Domain Registration Information page you will be asked create a new account.  Simply complete the form and click the “Continue” button.
• Please ensure that you provide a permanent email address as this is how Godaddy will contact you to supply receipts, password requests and renewal notices.

Step 5

• Once you’ve landed on the Registration and Checkout Options page, scroll right down to the bottom to section 4 Select Checkout Preference. Select the “No thanks. I’m ready to checkout” option.

Step 6

• You’ve made it to the Secure Checkout page.   In step 1 you are able to review your shopping cart and choose the length of the domain registration.  We recommend that you register for at least 3 years.  This is the best way to ensure that you have control over your domain for an extended period of time.
• Optional (but well worth it!): You can save money by using a promotional code found on http://www.fatwallet.com/ Choose the applicable code, enter into the Promo field and click the orange “Apply Code” button.
• Godaddy will automatically renew your domains as long as the credit card you have on file is valid.  It’s important to review all emails that Godaddy sends to ensure that your domain is being properly renewed.  If your credit card has recently expired then your domain name will not be renewed.
• Next is the Payment Method section.  Select your preferred method.
• Finally you made it to the Registration Agreement.  Read and agree to the Universal Terms of Service and Domain Registration Agreements.
• Click the orange “Continue to Checkout” button.

Step 7

• The Secure Payment page is straight forward.  Fill in all the fields and click the orange “Place Your Order” button.  You will be directed to a confirmation page and will receive a receipt for your purchase via email.  Your email will contain your Godaddy login ID and password.  Please print this email off and keep in a safe place.  We will will need this information to point your domain to our web server.
• Congratulation, you are the proud owner of a domain (or domains)!
