Buy a website: Securing a domain in 3 simple steps

If you want to buy the right domain, the best strategy is to match the domain name or the domain extension to the goal you are pursuing with your web presence—or match the domain to the industry you are in: The URL gives you an idea of what users can expect on your site—.com as a classic, .blog for blogs, .shop for webshops, etc.

Once you've settled on a domain, it's now or never, because good, catchy domains are quickly snatched away. You can buy your URL at Hoststar in 3 simple steps:

Use the domain check to query free domains

How should a domain be named? Less is more!

When it comes to domain names, short domains are more memorable, longer domains are more effective if they match the website content behind them. There is an upper limit as far as characters are concerned: An Austrian domain may be a maximum of 63 characters long—including hyphens and numbers.

Domain: Check availability and secure free domain names

If you already know the name of your desired domain, use our domain checker to check its availability. To do this, enter your desired domain into the checker without the extension. You can then see which domains or top-level domains (TLDs) are still available based on the respective domain categories (e-commerce, news, social, sports, business, etc.). The checker also lets you test various combinations.

Endings: register an Austrian or foreign domain

From the available domains, you now choose the one with the desired ending—at Hoststar as a domain registrar, you can choose from over 400 domain endings: international classics such as .net and .org, as well as the local .at, .de and .li are equally available. The rule is: first come, first served. Please note that a popular domain extension such as .com may already have been registered in connection with your chosen name.

Domain addresses: special cases

If you've selected an available domain and would like to register it yourself, click on Buy to complete the process. Please understand that some domain endings cannot be registered freely. Should you come up against such a domain, we will provide you with information on the requirements that have to be met for registration. You can, of course, always contact us.

Price comparison: What does a domain cost per year?

The good news: A domain does not have to be expensive. The bad news... don't exist! For example, if you want to buy a .ch-domain, it costs only CHF 13.95 per year, a bit over 1 Swiss Franc per month. And the same applies to all other domains: Less is more, because many domains are available for only CHF 16.90 per year. Best get your own impression of our low domain prices in a wide variety of industries, including e-commerce, gastronomy or commerce and services!

Domain generator: find perfect domain name

If you are still looking for the optimal name for your domain or your desired domain is already registered by someone else, it is best to start with brainstorming. Write down keywords and synonyms that match the content of your future website. You can also add adjectives to the terms. Here are a few tips for searching for names!

Pick short domain names. This reduces the risk of your website visitors making mistakes when typing.
If your desired domain name is long, you can try to make it more compact with abbreviations and synonyms.
Consider alternative spellings!
If you use hyphens, you should also register the same domain without hyphens. This also applies to domains with umlauts or other special characters. This ensures that your page will be found with the most diverse spellings and without any detours.

The way to the right domain

Ideas for finding your domain name

If you don't yet have a domain name of your choice or if someone else has already registered it, it's best to start with a brainstorming session. Make a note of the terms that match the content or style of your future website, including any synonyms. You can also add adjectives to the list of terms. This will give you suggestions for your domain name.

Alternative domain spellings

Depending on the domain name, alternative spellings may also make sense. If you use hyphens, you should also register the same domain without hyphens. The same applies to domains with umlauts or other special characters. Otherwise, some potential visitors may not visit your website because they are unable to find and insert these characters.

Choose appropriate domain extensions

With so many possible domain extensions, the choice can be difficult. The .com domain is a classic. Because of its popularity, however, it is often the case that the desired domain is already taken. Luckily, there are other generic domain extensions. If your website has local relevance, you can also choose the .ch extension. It is better to avoid using longer domain extensions, unless they exactly match the desired name.

Short domains are better

Choose a short domain name, as this reduces the risk of your visitors making typos. Short domain names are also easier to remember. If your preferred domain name is long, try finding a shorter variant using abbreviations or synonyms.

Check domain availability

If you now have one or more desired domains, you can check them above with our domain checker. Ideally, your desired domain will still be available. The domain checker checks all domain extensions. You may discover a combination that you like that you had not considered before.

Register your chosen domains

If your preferred domain names are still available, you can register them by clicking on ‘Buy’. However, some domain extensions cannot be registered freely. In these cases, you will be shown what the domain registration requirements are and how they can be met. You can also purchase additional domains conveniently via My Panel.

Transfer a domain: How you move your domain

If you have already registered domains elsewhere then you can of course transfer them to us at any time. The transfer is completely free of charge and the domain's duration will be transferred too. Don't worry: Your website will remain online throughout the entire transfer!
