Hopefully, you will get a result similar to the following:



Select the domain you wish to purchase, in the case multiple results are presented, and click 'Continue'

The next screen will ask you if you would like to purchase added features along with your domain. As you can see in the graphic, you can get email or hosting packages. If you are going to host your website at WA, then do not waste your money on these add-ons. All those features are included with your WA subscription.




All you need to do is click the 'Sign Up' button under the Instant Domain option.

You will typically be offered to purchase additional domains with your chosen domain name and alternate TLDs. It is not necessary to buy all these if you don't have a need, .COM, .NET, or .ORG TLDs are all you should be messing with at this point. So go ahead and skip past the additional domains and the next offer of the 'Complete Protection' security package.

You will end up looking at your Cart so you can see your total purchase cost:


Make sure everything is ok and click 'Continue'

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.
