To register a new domain, you must first have an XMission account. Existing customers can, then, go to the domain registration system to either register a new domain or transfer an existing domain from another registrar.

Pricing

You can register your own domain name for only $10 a year. Should you move or decide to leave XMission, this domain will remain yours for the duration of the time purchased. Domains purchased via XMission are transferable to other registrars.

New Domains

On our registration page, enter the domain name you would like to register in the box beneath Enter Domain Name to Search For. If the domain is available, you will be allowed to continue the registration. Fill in the information as prompted to complete the process. Note that you will be asked to create a username and password for your domain management. This doesnot have to be the same as your XMission username and password, so be certain that you don't lose it. The domain registration fee will be billed to your XMission account.

Renewing

When your domain is up for renewal, OpenSRS, the registrar we resell through, will send a paper invoice to the billing address on the domain. As an additional reminder, XMission will send an email reminder to the account that the domain was registered to. The charge for an extra year will be charged along with your next month of Internet services. If you do not wish to renew, please contact accounting and notify them that you would like the domain to lapse.

Transferring

If you are transferring a domain to XMission from another registrar, go to our registration page and enter that domain name in the box beneath Move Your Domain to Our Servers. You will be guided through the rest of the process as if you were registering a new domain. Another year will be added to your existing term. (e.g. If you registered for a year with another registrar and there is still 6 months left, you will still have that 6 months in addition to your new registration duration with XMission.)
