Domain management

From the Domains page in the top navigation bar you can register new domains, transfer existing ones, and manage all your domains. If you belong to several teams, domains are listed per team.

Domains

Registering a new domain​

  1. Go to the Domains page and click Get domain
  2. Type the domain name or company name you want in the search field (e.g., "examplecompany" or "examplecompany.fi") and click Search
  3. You'll see a list of available domains with different extensions (.fi, .com, .net, etc.), their prices and renewal prices
  4. Click Add next to the domain you want. One order can hold up to five domains.
  5. Click Continue to checkout, fill in the domain owner's details and accept the terms
  6. Click Confirm the order

Domain search

The owner details asked are name, address, email and phone number. For .fi domains, a business ID (company) or personal ID (private person) is also required.

If your team has no saved payment card, you'll be asked to save one. Saving the card does not charge anything by itself.

The domain is registered once the invoice is paid​

The order creates an invoice, and the domain is registered only after the invoice has been paid. With card payment this usually happens within a few minutes. Until then the domain's status is Awaiting payment.

If the invoice is not paid within 30 days, the registration is cancelled and the status becomes Cancelled.

The domain page​

Clicking a domain in the list shows its details and settings:

  • Valid: the date the domain is valid until
  • Automatic renewal: when renewal is on, an invoice for the renewal is created about two months before the domain expires. If you turn renewal off, the domain is released unless you renew it yourself.
  • WHOIS protection: hides the owner's contact details from public WHOIS lookups. Not available for .fi domains.
  • Transfer to another registrar: the transfer code and transfer lock, if you want to move the domain elsewhere. See Domain transfer.
  • Team: the domain can be moved to another team if you are an administrator in both teams.
  • Connect to site: connecting the domain to a site. See Connecting to a site.

The same page also holds Email, redirects, and DNS records and nameservers.

Only team administrators can change a domain's settings.

Domain transfer​

If you already have a domain with another provider, you can transfer it to Kotisivukamu's management. See detailed instructions at Domain transfer.

Connecting a domain to your site​

Once you have a domain, you can connect it to your site. See instructions at Connecting to a site.

Can I use a domain registered elsewhere?​

Yes. You don't have to register or transfer a domain through Kotisivukamu. You can use a domain from any provider. In that case, you'll need to configure the DNS settings yourself from your provider's dashboard.

Email forwarding, SMTP credentials and the BIMI logo are available only for domains registered or transferred through Kotisivukamu.
