If you are already a 1 and 1 customer, you would select 'Yes' you are already a customer and would login using your credentials. Be sure to select 'Register your domain privately' on this screen if you desire.


After you get logged in, you can choose to order the new domain under a new package or add it to an existing package. If you are only using 1 and 1 to register domains, I don't think it really matters which option you choose. If you have a hosting package is when this becomes a concern.

Since you are already a customer, lets look at adding a domain to an existing package.

Log In

If you login from the home page, you will arrive at your account control panel.


Select the 'Domains' option
Just below any existing domains you own, there will be an option to purchase more..



Click and enter the domain name you would like to purchase. When you click the 'Check Domain' button, a list of available domains will be returned. Again, you will be offered alternate TLD domains to purchase at the same time, but it is not a requirement.




SUCCESS!!




Follow the payment prompts and your domain will be added to your Domain Overview.

I have purchased a domain using 1& 1, It said that that your domain registration has begun, but thus far, I haven't received info regarding my domain... has this happened with anyone before?

I have used 1&1 and they seem to be the easiest and the cheapest to work with, although because it was my first domain it has taken a couple of days for them to approve my purchase because I had to send them photo ID and business registration documents before they would confirm the purchase. Hopefully now that I am registered with them I won't need to go through this process again.

Going in and changing the DNS settings is also easy, but now it tells me I have to wait up to 24hours for the settings to take effect in WA so I am currently here twiddling my thumbs waiting for that to happen so I can start building my webpage :)

Beware if you are in the UK. They force you to register with their UK site where all the prices are the same number but preceded by a £ sign instead of a $ sign. I am totally disgusted with this rip-off and will never ever consider using these dishonest people!

Great Training! Use 1&1 myself and this is informative and accurate.

Yeah, I initially used GoDaddy until I found out I could get privacy for free from 1and1.
