For already registered domains, please go to your domain registrar and log in to your account and change the name server information to our name servers. Domain Propagation will be complete in 24-72 hours depending on your registrar.

What is a domain name?
A domain name is the essence of your personal or company's online identity. It is the address your customers use to find information about your products and services on the web. Domain names allow Internet users to type in a name, such as yourdomain.com, to identify a numeric Internet Protocol (IP) address such as 209.51.138.61 The purpose of domain names is to allow users connected to the Internet the ability to find web sites without having to memorize the long, numerical (IP) addresses that actually locate the computers or servers on the Internet.

What does it mean to "register" a domain name?
There is a central registry of all domain names on the Internet. For your domain name to become a part of the registry, your domain name needs to be added to that registry. "Registering" a domain name means you are associated with that domain name for the period of the registration. "Registering" a name means you own it, and no one else can register that exact same name!

How do I search for an available domain name?
You can use our domain lookup tool HERE, simply type a name you want and see if it's still available for registration.

Who should register a domain name?
Anyone thinking about establishing a presence on the Internet should register a domain name. You don't have to utilize it right away, but you can reserve it for your future use. Domains are being registered at the rate of more than several hundred thousand per month - they go quickly!

How long does the registration process take?
The application process should only take a few minutes to complete. All registrations take place in real time - once your application has been processed and approved, your name is registered.

Is it possible for someone to register my domain name after I have registered it?
The availability of .com, .net, .org or .ph, .com.ph etc. domain names is verified through a central registry system. This system prevents a domain name that is successfully registered from being registered by another person or entity. The registration and processing system updates the central registry in real time.

If a domain name is already registered, can I find out who owns the name?
Yes. If you check the availability of a domain name and it is already registered, click on the box: "Show Registrant Information". This will display the contact information associated with a registered domain name.

I've got my domain name, now what?
The next step in order to make full use of your new domain name is to build a website for your corporate or personal use. Hosting.ph provides value packed hosting packages at affordable prices.

I own a new domain, but when I type it into my browser, nothing comes up.
Again, a domain name is not a website, just a web address for a website. If you want your new domain to be a web address for a website for your corporate or personal use, you must have it hosted by our servers. Also, it may take a few days for the routing to propagate to our servers.
