How long does it take to register a domain name?

We submit your domain order virtually immediately to the Registrar. Since our domain signup system is integrated with the Registrar's own systems, we often receive confirmation that a domain is reserved within an hour or even even within minutes,depending on the volume of domains being registered at that time.

However, your domain will still show as being available for a few more days because the public databases that show whether a domain is available or not are only updated three to four times a week. So, until the next update, those searches would indicate that your domain is available, even though in reality it is already in your possession.

Our automated registration system will keep you up to date at each stage of the registration process. If you do not get a registration confirmation from our system within 36 hours, contact us by email at billing@domainsforbeginners.com. Please be sure to mention your domain name and your Customer ID so that we may easily track your order.
