  • Click on the ‘Web Domains’ tab.
  • Click on ‘Domain Registration.
  • Select ‘Domain Parking.
  • Click on ‘New Domain.
  • Enter the domain name you’d like to register and park, then click the search button.
  • A list of available domain names will show on the right-hand side.
  • Select your preferred domain name and click ‘Next Stepbelow.
  • Finally, you will be taken to your shopping cart. Confirm the details are correct, then click ‘Checkout’ to complete the order.
