On this screen you can choose the domain name or web address you would like your visitors to use to access your website.

There are 4 choices on this screen.

• I want Surehost.be to register a new domain for me.
  • If you choose this option, you can then use any domain name that is not already owned by somebody. To check this, simply type in the address and select the 'tld' (the last part of the address i.e. .com or .info). Do not type in www or any other 'subdomain', you are only choosing the main part of the domain name, once you own it you can have unlimited subdomains at no extra cost.
• I want to transfer my domain to Surehost.be
  • If you already own a domain name that you registered with another company, you can transfer the domain to our servers giving us and you through your surehost.be control panel full control over the domain name.
• I will update my nameservers on an existing domain Or I will register a new domain.
  • If you already own a domain name but do not want to transfer your domain to us, choose this option. This will mean that we will have no control over the domain name should you have any issues and you will not be able to manage the domain through your control panel. You will also need to update the name servers for the domain yourself to point the domain name to your surehost website, the name servers must be: ns1.surehost.be and ns2.surehost.be
• I want to use a free subdomain.
  • If you are not ready to purchase your own domain name, maybe you are not sure what address to use yet or you just don't need a fancy web address, then you can choose a free subdomain name, this can be anything.surehost.be you can always purchase your own domain name at any time on a later date.
