Buy a domain name

A domain name is a unique address that represents an Internet location. It appears after www. in your browser's address bar, like www.mydomain.com, or after the @ symbol in an email address, like [email protected].

Without this site name, your visitors could only access your pages by entering their IP address. That would not be easy to remember.

The domain you choose will help your visitors find your website and contact you by email. So it's crucial to choose it well.

To find the perfect address for your site, you'll need to check availability on our site. Is your chosen domain already taken? The LWS search system will suggest other alternatives.

The accredited registrar LWS doesn't just offer a domain. All the services you need are included at no extra cost. Here are the main services included:

• 2 GB web hosting

• Web redirection: set up web redirections (type 301 or 302).

• nTLD (New Top-Level Domain): In response to the saturation of .com and .fr, nTLDs offer more flexibility.

Suitable for various sectors, they help better guide visitors, like .blog for blogs or .app for apps. The list of new TLDs is updated continuously.

Registering a domain name with LWS is done at the lowest price on the market for several reasons:

• No middleman: we are an accredited registrar
• State-of-the-art, 100% automated system, with only manual checks
• Continuously trained and highly skilled team in France

There are two types of extensions:

• Extensions associated with a country or region (example: .fr for France, .be for Belgium).
• Generic extensions that usually identify the type of site (example: .biz for business activities).

A .fr domain extension is ideal for any business activity in France and to highlight your French identity. A .com extension will give your projects a global dimension.

We offer extensions for all needs. Are you a company, a city hall, a club or do you want to open an e-commerce store? We advise you to take at least the .fr, .com, .net, .org, and .eu extensions. This helps prevent cybersquatting, which consists of registering similar web addresses for profit.

Before you can establish an online presence, it's important to look for domain names that represent your goals. Once you've found your ideal domain name, it's a good idea to reserve several variations and different extensions.

Many visitors may make mistakes when typing your URL in their browser's search bar. That's why it's important to look for internet domain names with both correct and incorrect spellings.

Your competitors or malicious people could register names similar to yours. They could add hyphens, mistakes or accents to attract your visitors.

Reserve a name and all its possible variations. Every domain name purchase helps protect your name and brand.

To check the availability of a TLD, use our search tool on this page. Choosing a domain name is ultra simple. Just enter the desired name, and our system will tell you if it's available. If the name is already taken, we'll suggest alternatives.

There are several options after registering an internet address. Most people use domain names to build their online presence.

If you've registered a valuable one for the market or your brand, renew it every year. At LWS, you can choose automatic renewal so you don't risk forgetting.

If you register domains and decide not to use them, consider selling them. Some can be a good way to invest and generate profits. Many companies are constantly looking for TLDs suited to their needs.

Yes, you can buy a domain for someone else.

The web address is registered in the name of the person who orders, not in the name of our company LWS as some registrars do. You will therefore be the official owner.

To order a domain for someone else, follow these steps:

• Go to the domain order form on our site.
• Enter the owner's information. Be sure to enter the details of the person for whom you are buying the TLD. Each registry may charge a fee for changing the owner later.

A domain name is your website's address, like a postal address. Web hosting is where your site's files are stored, like a house at that address. You need both for your site to be visible online.

Do you have a dispute with your domain name? The WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center can help you resolve it quickly and cost-effectively. They use special methods such as mediation and arbitration. If you need help, you can contact them.

Once you own a web address, you can sell it at any time and at any price you want. There are marketplaces dedicated to this type of transaction. The most popular are Sedo, Ebay and Flippa. These platforms can also estimate the value of your domain name for sale.
