Buy Domain Name for Your Business

The cost of domain name registration ranges from S$8 to S$90 per year, depending on the domain extension and the domain registrar. Popular generic domains such as .com are usually more affordable, while country-code and specialized extensions, including .sg domains, have higher registration and renewal fees.

The domain name renewal price is different from the first-year registration price because the first year price is often offered at a promotional rate to help new customers register a domain at a lower cost. The renewal price reflects the standard registration fee set by the domain registry and registrar after the promotional period ends. CLDY displays both the first-year and renewal prices upfront in our pricing table, so you know exactly what to expect before registering your domain.

No, domain name registrations are generally non-refundable once processed. This is standard practice across the domain registration industry because a domain is registered immediately under the registrant's name. CLDY offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on eligible hosting plans, but this guarantee does not apply to domain name registrations or renewals.

Most domain name registrations are completed as quickly as 1 minute after your payment and registration details are verified. Some domain extensions, like certain .sg domains, may take longer if additional eligibility checks or registry verification are required before the domain is activated.

Yes, you can register a domain name without buying hosting. A domain name and web hosting are separate services, so you can secure your preferred domain first and add hosting whenever you are ready to build your website. You can also use your registered domain for business email or connect it to a hosting provider of your choice later.

No, domain names cannot be registered permanently. Domain registration is a renewable lease rather than a form of freehold ownership, meaning you retain the exclusive right to use and manage the domain only while the registration remains active. As long as you renew your domain before it expires, you are able to continue using it for as many years as you choose.

If your domain name registration expires, your website, business email, and other domain-related services become unavailable. Most domain registries provide a grace period during which you can renew the domain before it becomes available for registration by someone else. Renewing your domain before its expiry date is the best way to avoid service interruptions and the risk of losing your domain.

No, you do not actually own a domain name. Instead, you register it and receive the exclusive right to use and manage the domain for the duration of its registration period. As long as you continue renewing your registration, you retain control of the domain and are able to use it for your website, email, or other online services.

Yes, you can transfer your domain to another registrar if it meets the registry's transfer requirements. In most cases, you'll need to unlock your domain, obtain your Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) code, and initiate the transfer with your new registrar. CLDY gives you full control over your domain and makes it easy to transfer when you are eligible to do so.

Yes, your personal information may be publicly visible in the WHOIS directory when you register a domain, depending on the domain extension and registry policies. Such personal details include your name, email address, phone number, and mailing address. CLDY offers free WHOIS privacy protection for supported domain extensions to help protect your privacy by hiding eligible personal information from public WHOIS records.

Yes, you can buy a domain name that someone already owns if the current registrant is willing to sell it. Contact the owner directly, purchase the domain through a domain marketplace or broker, or wait to see if the registration expires and becomes available again. If the owner is not willing to sell, you need to choose a different domain name or an alternative domain extension.

Yes, you should get your domain, web hosting, and business email from a single reliable provider like CLDY to simplify your website management. Managing these services through a single provider makes it easier to configure DNS settings, manage renewals, access technical support, and maintain your online presence from a single account.
