Prices of domain names explained
How is the price of a domain name determined?
The basic price for registering a domain name varies per extension. Some domain extensions are reserved for certain occupational categories (like .bank). But country code top-level domains (like .be or .nl) are cheaper.
However, you should be aware of hidden costs, such as activation costs charged when registering a domain or transfer costs charged when transferring a domain. Combell does not charge any additional costs for all these services: the price mentioned fully covers the registration for one year.
If your dream domain name has already been registered by someone else, you can try to find an agreement with the current owner, possibly for a fee.
Why do the prices differ from one provider to another?
Some providers do offer very cheap domain names. But there is often a catch, because you will have to pay extra for every additional service. Like for having your domain name redirected to your blog, or for having your e-mail forwarded to the mailbox provided by your Internet provider or your Gmail account.
With Combell, you pay nothing extra for domain or e-mail forwarding. You can manage everything yourself via the user-friendly control panel. You can even change the DNS settings there, which is something other providers do not allow.
The price for registering your domain name with Combell includes everything, including 24/7 support.
Price for transferring your domain to Combell
We do not charge any extra costs for transferring a domain name to Combell. You pay the normal price for a registration, including any promotional offers.
The transfer is a simple process in itself - and you will immediately benefit from the many advantages offered by Combell, such as free transfer service, mailbox and professional 24/7 support.
- Ask your current provider for a transfer code, which will make the domain available for transfer.
- Search for your domain name on our website. If you get a notification stating that it is no longer available, just select ‘transfer’ and place your order.
- Combell sends you an e-mail to confirm the transfer.
Acquiring a domain name from someone else
You have come up with the ideal domain name for your project. But unfortunately, it has already been registered by someone else... Try to reach an agreement with the current owner to purchase this domain name.
- Find out who the current owner of the domain name is, using the WHOIS lookup tool.
- Contact the owner and try to come to an agreement.
- Have you reached an agreement? Now, ask the current owner to make the domain available for transfer. This means that he must request a transfer code from his provider.
- Have you received the transfer code? Register the domain name via our website, and click the “transfer” button.
Different types of extensions and prices
Types of extensions or top-level domains (TLDs)
- Country code TLDs or ccTLDs are the most famous ones: these include country codes such as .be, .nl, .fr, etc.
- gTLDs are generic extensions that do not belong to a particular country. Just think of .com, .info, .biz, etc.
- Recently, more than 1,000 domain extensions have been introduced. These extensions, which are also known as new TLDs, are aimed at very specific target groups, such as .shop, .immo, etc. They also include geographical extensions for cities or specific regions such as .vlaanderen, .gent, .brussels, etc.
So, what are these new TLDs?
Until a few years ago, only a limited number of generic TLDs were available (like .com, .biz, .org, etc.). Fortunately, more than a thousand new extensions have been launched. That way, you will always be able to find the right domain name for your company.
As an accredited ICANN registrar, Combell is in a position to offer you almost all these extensions for registration. And we have made things easy for you: all extensions are neatly listed, and we even organised them into categories. This makes it much easier to search for your ideal domain name!
Frequently asked questions about domain name prices
Can I register a domain name without having a website?
What is domain ‘parking’? And how much does it cost?
With Combell, parking a domain will not cost you anything extra: you only pay for the registration of the domain name. However, as long as you do not link your domain name to a website in your control panel, Combell will display a ‘placeholder’ when visitors enter your domain name in their browser. This way, they will know that your domain name has indeed been registered.
Are there any hidden costs associated with purchasing a domain name?
Other providers do charge extra fees – you pay very little money to register the domain name, but the extra costs turn it into an expensive purchase! Here are some examples of services they may charge: the redirection of your domain name to another domain name, the redirection of your e-mail to your mailbox provided by your Internet provider (Telenet, Proximus, etc.) or to your regular mailbox (Gmail, Hotmail, etc.), or the transfer of your domain name to or from another provider.
Can I pay for my domain name registration on a monthly basis?
What is included in the price of a domain registration?
However, the price does not include the space on a web server that is required to host your website. For this, please browse Combell’s range of hosting services.
Does my domain name also include trademark rights?
You can protect your trademark against unauthorised use. Via the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH), you can be the first to register your trademark with all new domain extensions as they are launched, and you can also set up monitoring for the use of your trademark when registering it.
Please note that the fact that you register a certain domain name does not mean that you are registering this word as a trademark. To do so, you still need to turn to a trademark office. Find out more about trademarks and their protection on the FPS Economy website.
