You can check domain name availability using GuruDesk’s domain name search bar and you will immediately see if your desired domain name is available or if someone else owns it.

You can also use the bulk domain search option to check the availability of all your desired domain names.

If your desired domain name is already taken, you can consult the public WHOIS directory to determine its current owner. If you'd like to utilize our domain brokerage services, please contact us, and our Gurus will engage with the domain owner to explore the possibility of acquiring the domain.

Domain registration is the process of acquiring a domain name, although technically, you don't own it outright but rent it by paying an annual registration fee. If you don't renew your domain name, it becomes available for others to register. GuruDesk offers an auto-renew option for all domain names to prevent accidental domain expiration.

When you buy hosting services with GuruDesk, you also receive free domain emails. The number of domain emails depends on your plan’s scope.

You can easily register a domain name with GuruDesk by following these steps:

1. Consider your business and search for available domain name extensions, also known as top-level domains (TLDs), which are the endings like .com, .net, or .org. Many individuals and businesses prefer registering multiple TLDs to prevent others from taking their domain.

2. Enter the desired domain name into the search box at the top of the page. If it's available, you can register it immediately. If your desired domain is already taken, you can contact us to inquire if the owner is open to selling it.

3. After finding your ideal domain name, add it to your cart and proceed to checkout. Upon paying the annual fee, you will own the domain name. As long as you continue to pay the fee, no one else can register your domain.

If you purchase an annual Web Hosting or WordPress Hosting plan, you automatically qualify for a free domain name.

Browse GuruDesk's hosting plans to assess your online needs. Select the plan that best suits your requirements and add it to your cart. Ensure you choose an annual term to register a free domain name.

Search your desired domain name using GuruDesk’s domain search bar and once you choose your domain, add it to your cart.

Click 'Continue,' and you will be directed to the checkout, where the domain name’s price will be deducted from the total price.

The answer to this question depends on the domain name and extension you register. Typically, domain name registrars offer registration periods of up to 10 years. However, most customers prefer to register a domain name for just one or two years. Some premium domain names and gTLDs (generic top-level domains) may have shorter registration durations.

GuruDesk offers an auto-renewal option to ensure you never miss your renewal date and that your domain name remains unavailable to others. If you prefer to renew your domain manually, you can do so through GuruDesk's user-centric dashboard.

1. Reflect your brand: Ensure that your domain name mirrors your business. For instance, if your business is based in the USA, choosing a .ca domain name extension may lead to confusion.

2. Avoid numbers and hyphens: Incorporating numbers and hyphens in your domain name might confuse your website visitors. If your business name contains a number, consider registering both versions—with the number spelled out—ensuring all visitors are directed to your website.

3. Register multiple TLDs: Protect your domain name and prevent others from using your business name with a different domain extension.

Investing in domain names can yield substantial revenue. You register the desired domain names and park them. As time passes, you can reassess their value and list them for auction. Premium domains, in particular, hold significant financial value.
