How To: Upgrade to a Domain Name

Lifeyo makes it easy to upgrade your site to a professional and easy-to-remember domain name of your choosing. Your unique domain name is what people can type to find your site. Instead of "http://your-site-title.lifeyo.com", you can have "yourname.com" for example.

When you purchase a domain name through Lifeyo, we will automatically connect it to your website. You will be the owner of the domain name and can manage it with our partner, Register.com

Read on to learn how to find an available domain name and how to purchase it.

Check Availability For a Domain Name

To upgrade to a domain name, click on the "Publish" button in the upper right corner of the top toolbar.

Type in a domain name in the text field box to see if it is available. If the one you want isn't available, try a different domain name or choose a different type of domain (.com, .net, .org).

If the domain name is available, the window will tell you, "This Domain is available!" Click on "Register Name" to continue.

Choose Number of Years

In the next window, select how many years you would like to have the domain name for:

• 1 year, $40 per year
• 2 years, $35 per year (save $10)
• 5 years, $30 per year (save $50)

If you pay up front for more than one year, you get a discount. As a service to you, we will automatically renew your domain name using the billing information you provide at the end of your domain purchase period.

Click "Continue" to move to the next window.

Type in Your Contact Information

In the next window, type in the following contact information for your new domain registration: Address, City, State/Province, Zip/Postal Code, Country, Email, and Phone Number.

Be sure to double-check that all your information is correct, including your email address. Payment receipts and important domain registration details will be sent to this email.

Type in Payment Information

In the payment window, type in your card information in the fields provided: Name, Card Number, Expiration Date, Security Code, and Zip/Postal Code.

Your total will be shown below your payment information. To make any changes, click "Go Back" to go back to the previous windows. After you have typed and checked your payment information and billing total, click on "Buy Now".

Confirmation

After purchasing a domain name, you will receive an email confirming your domain name upgrade and details. Usually it takes about 10-15 minutes for your domain to connect automatically to your Lifeyo website! If you have any questions or issues about your domain name registration, send us an email and we would be happy to help you.
