Where do I purchase a domain name?

You will need to register a domain name with a domain name registrar in order to use our hosting. If you haven't purchased one already, we suggest finding a reliable registrar through seeking recommendations from colleagues. Expect to pay around $10 per year for your domain name.

Our recommendations are:
DynaDot - based in California (USA) - our referral code is 7A8N7S6v6i8G7jW
Gandi - based in France

They both come highly recommended and have good customer service records.
