How to Register a New Domain Name

Once you’ve found the perfect domain using the Jiinubi Search Tool, follow the steps below to secure it and link it to your brand.

Step 1: Add to Cart & Configure

After finding an available domain, click Add to Cart. Before payment, you’ll see the Domain Configuration screen, where you can choose optional but powerful add-ons:

• DNS Management (Highly Recommended): Manage DNS records (A, MX, CNAME) directly from your dashboard.
• ID Protection (Recommended): Keeps your name, email, and phone number hidden from the public WHOIS database to reduce spam and unwanted contact.
• Email Forwarding: Forward emails from your new domain to an existing inbox (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.) if you don’t have hosting yet.

Step 2: Linking Hosting (Optional but Recommended)

A domain is just the address — hosting is the house.

If you don’t have a hosting plan yet, you’ll see a link that says: “No Hosting! Click to Add.”

Clicking this allows you to bundle your domain with a Shared, WordPress, or VPS Hosting plan so everything is set up together automatically.

Step 3: Review and Checkout

• Double-check spelling: Domains cannot be edited or undone once registered.
• Promotional Code: If you have a Jiinubi discount code, enter it in the Apply Promo Code box.

Click Checkout to proceed to the secure billing area.

Step 4: Creating Your Account

If you’re a new customer, you’ll be asked to provide:

• Personal Information: Use a valid email address that you check frequently.
• Domain Registrant Information: By default, your account details are used. If registering for a client, you can enter their information instead.

Step 5: Payment (M-Pesa, Card, or Bank)

Select your preferred payment method:

• M-Pesa: Receive an STK Push on your phone or follow the Paybill instructions shown.
• Credit/Debit Card: Enter your card details through our secure payment gateway.

Once payment is successful, our system immediately submits the registration request to the global domain registry.

Step 6: Success & Verification

You’ll receive three confirmation emails:

• Order Confirmation – Confirms your purchase
• Invoice Receipt – Proof of payment
• Domain Registration Confirmation – Confirms ownership

What’s Next?

Now that your domain is registered, you can:

• Set up professional email accounts
• Install WordPress via cPanel
• Update nameservers if using an external hosting provider
