Registering a domain

Hosting Controller has two separate functions that allows you to deal with domains:

eNom - eNom is an ICAAN accredited domain name registrant. You can purchase, transfer, and check domain names securely using eNom's secure server. Any Hosting Controller user can use eNom.

Names4Ever - Names4Ever is a domain name registrant that allows you to register, modify, delete, renew, transfer, query, or check domains through Hosting Controller. You can only use Names4Ever if your hosting administrator is a registered member - refer to your hosting administrator for more information.

Note: Depending on the configured registrar, you will see different form for domain registration. This section of manual will explain domain registration & management with Names4Ever.
