How to Add a Domain - Domain Registration & Management
With the upgraded Account Manager, you can easily manage your internal domains and external domains.
What is the difference between 'internal domains' and 'external domains'?
Internal domains are those you registered with Domain.com, while external domains are those you registered with another registrar but are connected (pointed) to the hosting service(s) you have with Domain.com.
Both internal and external domains in your Domain.com account can be managed within the Domain.com Account Manager.
How to Add Internal Domains to your Account Manager
Domains registered with Domain.com will be listed automatically within your Account Manager, where you can manage the domains' information, connections, add-ons, name servers, and DNS records.
If you want to add or purchase a new domain name, please visit the Domain Registration: How To Buy A Domain article.
Here are the steps to view your Internal domains.
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- Click the Domains tab in the left-hand side menu.
- If you have a single domain in your account, you will be redirected right away to the domain management page.
If you have multiple domains in your account, do the following:
