Create/Transfer domain(s)
📌 Log in to the portal and go to the Domain Check
To create or transfer domains using the Realtime Register portal, follow the step-by-step instructions below.
🔍 Step 1: Check Domain Availability
Use the ADAC or list availability check to verify if your desired domains are available for registration or transfer.
📘 For help with using the domain check, go to the ➤ Check KB-article.
🛒 Step 2: Add Domains to Cart
After adding your domains to the cart and clicking Proceed to checkout, you can transfer and create domains in one order (for the same registrant).
⚙️ Step 3: Choose How to Submit Contact & DNS Info
You have two options to complete your order:
📄 Complete order using a Registration Profile
ℹ️ Registration profiles are templates that contain a fixed set of pre-configured create/transfer information:
- Contacts
- Auto-renewal settings
- Nameserver settings
- DNSSEC settings
- Preferred FOA contact settings
📘 To use a registration profile with your preferences, make sure one has been created in your account. For instruction on creation, go to the ➤ Registration profiles KB-article.
Do not use a default Registrant contact or self-created privacy proxy contact for all your domain creates/transfers. Always use a registrant contact with the actual registrant information in it to ensure the correct owner is listed for any domains you create or transfer for your customers.
