Free with every domain
Six features that cost extra elsewhere.
Other registrars charge for these. We include them with every domain — no upsells, no hidden fees.
WHOIS privacy Free
Hide your personal information from public WHOIS queries. Stop the spam, telemarketing and identity-theft attempts that hit every newly-registered domain.
DNS management Free
Manage A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV, CAA records from our polished panel. Point your domain anywhere — our DNS, Cloudflare, AWS Route 53, anything.
Registrar lock Free
A security feature that prevents your domain from being transferred away by unauthorized parties. Enabled by default on every domain you register.
Email forwarding Free
Forward [email protected] to your existing Gmail or Outlook inbox. No need to buy email hosting just to receive mail on your domain.
Auto-renewal Free
Never lose a domain again. Auto-renewal protects your domain from accidentally lapsing — we email you 30, 7 and 1 day before charging.
Custom nameservers Free
Register glue records and set your own nameservers — ns1.yourdomain.com, ns2.yourdomain.com. Useful for resellers and white-label hosting.
Domain transfer
Transfer in. Keep the year you paid for.
Moving your domain from GoDaddy, Namecheap, or anywhere else? We make it painless. When you transfer to Hostiger, we add a full extra year to your existing registration — so the transfer pays for itself.
No downtime during transfer. Your existing nameservers and DNS records are preserved. Bulk transfers (100+ domains) are fully supported, with our team handling EPP code collection and confirmation emails.

The basics
What is a domain — and why does it matter?
A domain is a unique address for websites on the internet — just like a street address for a house in the real world, a domain tells your browser where to find a specific website. Type hostiger.com and the global Domain Name System (DNS) translates that human-friendly name into an IP address that your computer can connect to.
Domains are how the internet stays usable. Without them, you'd be typing 142.250.190.78 instead of google.com. They're also how your brand looks online — a memorable domain is the difference between looking professional and looking forgettable.
The part after the dot — .com, .org, .io, .ai — is called the top-level domain (TLD). Some are general-purpose (.com, .net, .org); others signal specific industries (.dev for developers, .ai for AI products) or geographies (.us for the United States, .in for India). The TLD you pick says something about your project, so choose deliberately.
Once you register a domain, it's yours for as long as you keep renewing it. Hostiger doesn't bury you in surprise renewal hikes — the price you see at signup is the price you'll renew at. We also include features that other registrars charge for: WHOIS privacy, DNS management, registrar lock, email forwarding and auto-renewal — all free.

FAQ
Domain questions, answered.
What is a domain and why is it important?
A domain is a unique address for websites on the internet. Just like real-world houses have addresses, domains tell browsers where to find a specific website. Your domain represents your brand online — a memorable, professional one makes a real first-impression difference.
What's included with my domain registration?
Every Hostiger domain includes free WHOIS privacy, DNS management, registrar lock, email forwarding, custom nameservers, DNSSEC support and auto-renewal — at no extra cost. Other registrars charge $5–$15/year each for some of these.
How long does registration take?
Most domains are registered and active within minutes. Some country-code TLDs (ccTLDs) require additional verification and may take up to 24 hours. Your DNS records become active globally within minutes once registration completes.
Can I transfer my domain to Hostiger?
Yes — and we'll add a full extra year to your existing registration when you do. Get your EPP/auth code from your current registrar, paste it into our transfer form, and we'll handle the rest. Typical transfer takes 5–7 days; bulk transfers (100+ domains) are fully supported.
What is WHOIS privacy and why does it matter?
When you register a domain, your contact details are publicly listed in the WHOIS directory by default. Spammers and scammers harvest this data. WHOIS privacy replaces your details with our proxy info, keeping your identity protected. Hostiger includes this free with every domain.
Can I manage DNS without buying hosting?
Yes. Free DNS management lets you point your domain anywhere — at Cloudflare, AWS Route 53, your own server, GitHub Pages, Vercel, anywhere. Manage A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV, CAA and NS records from our panel.
What happens at renewal?
The price you sign up at is the price you renew at — no surprise hikes. Auto-renewal is enabled by default to prevent accidental expirations; we send reminder emails 30, 7 and 1 day before charging. You can also disable auto-renewal anytime.
Can I register custom nameservers?
Yes. Register glue records like ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com — useful for resellers, white-label hosting and anyone running their own DNS infrastructure.
Do you support bulk domain operations?
Yes. Register, transfer or renew up to 100+ domains in one operation. We also offer a REST API for programmatic management and wholesale pricing for resellers — contact sales for volume discounts.
What payment methods are accepted?
All major credit and debit cards, PayPal, Alipay, bank/wire transfer and major cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT. Prepayment credits also available from $50.
