Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many additional domain extensions can I purchase at a time?

You can select up to 3 additional domain suggestions along with your main domain.

Q: Is it mandatory to purchase the recommended additional extensions?

No, you can opt to purchase a standalone domain without selecting any additional extensions.

Q: Will there be extra costs for these additional domain extensions?

Yes, the extra cost is clearly displayed during the purchase process, providing complete pricing transparency.

Q: Can I add additional domain extensions to an already owned domain?

Absolutely – if you own a domain, a “Protect your brand” banner in the domain details page allows you to purchase additional extensions.
