I am a long time happy customer of LP.

I have a friend that wants to register a domain name but it may be a few months before she needs a hosting plan.
Can she just register the domain name for now for a fee with LP and then buy a hosting plan later?

Thanks,
Bobby

Hi Bobby!  The way our system is setup, you would need to have a hosting account before you could sign up and register for a domain name.  Hope that helps to answer your question and if there is anything else we can do please feel free to let us know.

Thanks for the quick response. Now for a follow up question.

My friend would go with the basic hosting plan. She wants a domain name with the number "2" in the name. The same domain name with "to" instead of "2" is also available. I think I will recommend that she get both so there is no confusion.

If she got both domain names, she would want both to point to the same site.

With the basic plan it says she can get an add-on domain name free. Would that work for what she wants? Can she get both domain names through LP, point them both to the same site under the basic plan and not incur any additional cost for the 2nd domain name?

And do I get any freebies for referring a friend to LP  <grin>
Thanks

If you have an affiliate account, you could get a perk for bringing people in:

I would tell her to register both, then point the least often used one at the most often used one.  Let one be the primary domain and the other be a domain parked on top of it - so no mater which one you type in you will be taken to the same site.

OK, so it seems possible.
What is the added charge for the 2nd domain in the basic hosting plan?

Thanks

$9.95 a year is the price you are looking for. Smile
