In this tutorial, we will introduce the Domain Management section available under your HostArmada Client Area (“Client Dashboard”). We will guide you on how to maintain your domain names with HostArmada, how to register new domain names and how to transfer domain names from other providers to us.
Log in to your HostArmada Client Area. On the Home Page, you will notice the Domains block, which indicates the total number of domain names you have with HostArmada, as well as the number of currently active domain names. Beneath that, you have two Quick Access buttons which will redirect you to the domain registration or domain transfer pages.
If you expand the Domains section in the left-hand side menu bar, you will be presented with a few options: to register, transfer, and renew domain names, as well as to access the domain management page. As we will be reviewing it in this section, please click on My Domains.
Within the My Domains page, you will see a list of all the domain names you have registered and transferred to HostArmada.
Each row displays the information of the corresponding domain name, such as registration date, next due date, auto-renewal status, and domain status.
In the following section, we will review the process of further managing your domain names.
While you are on the My Domains page, click on the arrow-down icon next to the corresponding domain name, and you will be provided with a few options. To further manage the domain name, you can click Manage Domain or the wrench icon.
The first information block displays the status of the domain name, the registration, expiration, and next due dates, as well as the billing information. Beneath these details, you will notice a few Quick Access buttons:
The domain registration process is quite simple and straightforward. To do that, click on the Domains -> Register option in the left menu bar.
On the new page, all you will need to do is to enter the desired name and select the domain extension (TLD) from the dropdown menu.
Once you do that, please click on the “Check Domain” button to confirm it is available for registration.
After you receive the message stating the domain name is available for registration, please select the registration term from the dropdown menu and click on the Continue button to proceed further with the purchase.
Once this is done, you will be given the option to add a hosting package associated with the domain name, as well as to configure your nameservers in advance.
You will also be able to select any desired additional services on the fly. Once ready, click on the Continue button to proceed to the last step.
On the final step, you will be able to review your billing details and your purchase. Once done, click Checkout.
Please note that to proceed, you will need to agree to our Terms of Service. You will find a direct link where you can review them. Once you are ready, please click the Continue button to process the payment and finalize the purchase.
A few important notes to make concerning the process of transferring a domain name from one Domain Registrar to another. There are certain requirements that need to be fulfilled before you place a transfer order.
Please note that depending on the domain TLD, the above-mentioned criteria may differ. Some ccTLDs (country-specific extensions) have specific transfer requirements.
The process of placing a domain transfer order is pretty much the same as registering a new domain name, with the main difference that you will be required to provide the EPP code (Authorization Code) on the second step during the order. Go to Domain -> Transfer and enter your domain.
The rest of the process should be done in the same manner as registering a new domain name.
Once the order is completed and processed by HostArmada, you will receive confirmation emails sent to the current administrative email address associated with the domain name. After the process is successfully initiated, it may take up to seven days to be completed.
The domain renewal process is extremely simple, and it only concerns you in case you have disabled the auto-renewal option or in the event of payment failure. To manually renew your domain name(s), please click on the Renew option displayed under the Domains section in the left menu bar.
Afterward, select the domain name(s) by clicking on the corresponding checkbox(es), select the renewal term from the Renew For dropdown, and click on the Order renewal for selected button.
Once this is done, all you will need to do is confirm you agree to our Terms of Service and click on Checkout to proceed with the renewal payment.
That is all! Now you know how to manage your domain names with HostArmada, as well as how to register and transfer domain names.
