Niris does not currently offer domain registration, we simply cannot compete on prices offered by the big companies out there. We recommenend registering your domain at the following companies and then it is a simple process to point the DNS settings to us, to host your site here.
- www.1and1.co.uk - One and One (UK)
- www.1and1.com - One and One (US)
- Or any other domain registration company that provides DNS customization
To check if your domain name is available, feel free to check with the following domain checker (opens new window to One and One).
Once you have registered your domain name with your chosen company you need to alter the DNS settings so that it points to the hosting you have here at niris. It sounds complicated but it is a simple process of adding our name servers (ns3.niris.co.uk and ns4.niris.co.uk in this example) where you are asked for alternate DNS servers.
