Buy a domain or hosting

You can find a domain or a hosting plan in your host’s shop and pay for it in one checkout.

Find a domain

On your host’s shop, type a name in Search for a domain name and choose Search.
The results show each ending with its price per year. A name shows as available only when the registry has said so.
Choose Add beside the name you want. It changes to In cart.

Some endings, such as .rw, need a document that shows who you are. The results say so, and you upload it at checkout.

Already own the name somewhere else? Choose I already own this name · transfer it. See Transfer a domain in.

Choose hosting

Choose Hosting at the top of the shop.
Pick a plan and choose Choose. If the plan has a free trial, the button says Start the free trial.

A trial costs nothing today. Your cart shows when the first payment is due, and your host texts you before it ends.

Check out

Open Cart. Check Your cart, change How many years for a domain, and add a code under I have a coupon code if you have one.
Choose Continue to your details.
Fill in who will own the name: A business or Myself, the name, Phone, Email, Street address and Town or city. Choose Continue to pay.
If you are new, we email a code to the address you gave. Type it and choose Verify and continue. This creates your account. Already have one? Choose I already have an account · sign in.
Under How do you want to pay?, choose a Payment method.
Tick the box to accept the terms of service and the refund policy.
Choose the pay button. It names the amount and the method, for example Pay RWF 12,000 with MoMo. For a card it says Continue to card payment.

With MoMo, approve the payment on your phone. Nothing is taken until you approve it. With a card, you type your card on the card provider’s secure page, not in the shop.

After you pay, you get a receipt and an invoice by email. Your services show in your client area under Websites and Domains.
