Buy a domain with Hoststar: including registration and transfer

The domain is the starting point for building your own web presence. In order to be able to display something on the web—whether it's a company website, blog, forum, shop, or social platform—first of all, you need a domain. For this to work, the domain must of course be available—and ideally it should also be a perfect match for your project. At Hoststar, you can easily check the availability of a domain with the domain checker before you buy your domain address with only a few clicks.

Buy a website: Securing a domain in 3 simple steps

If you want to buy the right domain, the best strategy is to match the domain name or the domain extension to the goal you are pursuing with your web presence—or match the domain to the industry you are in: The URL gives you an idea of what users can expect on your site—.com as a classic, .blog for blogs, .shop for webshops, etc.

Once you've settled on a domain, it's now or never, because good, catchy domains are quickly snatched away. You can buy your URL at Hoststar in 3 simple steps:

Use the domain check to query free domains

How should a domain be named? Less is more!

When it comes to domain names, short domains are more memorable, longer domains are more effective if they match the website content behind them. There is an upper limit as far as characters are concerned: An Austrian domain may be a maximum of 63 characters long—including hyphens and numbers.

Domain: Check availability and secure free domain names

If you already know the name of your desired domain, use our domain checker to check its availability. To do this, enter your desired domain into the checker without the extension. You can then see which domains or top-level domains (TLDs) are still available based on the respective domain categories (e-commerce, news, social, sports, business, etc.). The checker also lets you test various combinations.

Endings: register an Austrian or foreign domain

From the available domains, you now choose the one with the desired ending—at Hoststar as a domain registrar, you can choose from over 400 domain endings: international classics such as .net and .org, as well as the local .at, .de and .li are equally available. The rule is: first come, first served. Please note that a popular domain extension such as .com may already have been registered in connection with your chosen name.

Domain addresses: special cases

If you've selected an available domain and would like to register it yourself, click on Buy to complete the process. Please understand that some domain endings cannot be registered freely. Should you come up against such a domain, we will provide you with information on the requirements that have to be met for registration. You can, of course, always contact us.

How much does a domain cost per year?

Buying a domain doesn't have to be expensive—on the contrary. You can buy your very own .at domain here at Hoststar for as little as €19.95 per year—that's not even €1.80 per month. Special endings such as .blog, .shop and .works are also available for less than €40 per year. Plus you can also check out prices for top-level and second-level domains in various sectors, such as e-commerce, business, real estate, medicine, lifestyle, and much more.

Finding the perfect domain name with our domain generator

If you are still looking for your ideal domain name or your desired domain has already been registered, it may be worthwhile to brainstorm keywords and synonyms that match the content of your website. Here are a few tips:

Look for a short, concise domain name first—this will reduce the risk of typos from your visitors.
Try to make a long domain name more compact with abbreviations and synonyms.
Consider alternative spellings, if there are any.
If you hyphenate your domain, you should also register the same domain without hyphenation—this also applies to domains with umlauts and special characters.
You should always be easy to find, so make it as easy as possible for your (potential) visitors. Using special characters that users may have to search for on their keyboard is not recommended.

Finding names made easy: our Domain Wizard helps you to name your domain.

Buy additional domains at a low price via the My Panel

With Hoststar buying and registering domains is incredibly easy—in 3 clicks, the domain for your web presence is yours—and at a great price. In addition, you can buy many more domains if required and also purchase and manage subdomains conveniently via your My Panel.

Domain security with SSL certificates

We protect your website as well as your visitors and customers with strong security measures. Buyers benefit from a free SSL certificate, which encrypts the transmission of sensitive data (passwords, credit card information, etc.) with 128-/256-bit. In addition, Hoststar's infrastructure is monitored 365 days a year and we monitor the service area 24/7. We also carry out daily backups so that your data is safe.

The way to the right domain

Ideas for finding your domain name

If you don't yet have a domain name of your choice or if someone else has already registered it, it's best to start with a brainstorming session. Make a note of the terms that match the content or style of your future website, including any synonyms. You can also add adjectives to the list of terms. This will give you suggestions for your domain name.

Alternative domain spellings

Depending on the domain name, alternative spellings may also make sense. If you use hyphens, you should also register the same domain without hyphens. The same applies to domains with umlauts or other special characters. Otherwise, some potential visitors may not visit your website because they are unable to find and insert these characters.

Choose appropriate domain extensions

With so many possible domain extensions, the choice can be difficult. The .com domain is a classic. Because of its popularity, however, it is often the case that the desired domain is already taken. Luckily, there are other generic domain extensions. If your website has local relevance, you can also choose the .at extension. It is better to avoid using longer domain extensions, unless they exactly match the desired name.

Short domains are better

Choose a short domain name, as this reduces the risk of your visitors making typos. Short domain names are also easier to remember. If your preferred domain name is long, try finding a shorter variant using abbreviations or synonyms.

Check domain availability

If you now have one or more desired domains, you can check them above with our domain checker. Ideally, your desired domain will still be available. The domain checker checks all domain extensions. You may discover a combination that you like that you had not considered before.

Register your chosen domains

If your preferred domain names are still available, you can register them by clicking on ‘Buy’. However, some domain extensions cannot be registered freely. In these cases, you will be shown what the domain registration requirements are and how they can be met. You can also purchase additional domains conveniently via My Panel.

Domain transfer to Hoststar

If you already own domains and want to transfer them to Hoststar, you can do so at any time and without any interruptions to the availability of your website. The transfer of your domain is completely free of charge, and the term is also transferred. Once the transfer is complete, you can conveniently and flexibly view and manage all your purchased domains (and subdomains) in the My Panel.

If you have any questions regarding the creation, purchase, or transfer of domains, we will be happy to support you free of charge via e-mail, telephone, and our chat.
