Register your .COM domain today

A .com domain is the most recognised and trusted option, making it ideal for businesses aiming for global reach and strong brand recall. If your preferred .com is unavailable or your focus is more regional or niche, other extensions are perfectly suitable. Descriptive options like .store, .tech or .online clearly convey your business type and are fully supported by Zoho Domains.

Google confirms that domain extensions do not directly influence search rankings, so a .com does not automatically outrank other extensions. Factors such as content quality, website performance and user experience carry far more weight. However, users often trust .com domains, which can lead to higher click-through rates and indirectly support better engagement.

To register a .com domain on Zoho Domains, visit the website and use the search bar to check availability. If the domain is available, add it to your cart and complete the registration form with the required contact information. Select your preferred registration duration and proceed to payment. Once the payment is processed, your domain is registered immediately.

To transfer a .com domain, begin by unlocking it with your current registrar and obtaining the transfer code / authorization code (EPP code). Only email addresses that have been verified by Zoho can initiate a domain transfer or registration, so ensure your Zoho-verified email is in place before proceeding. After that, start the transfer on Zoho Domains by entering the domain name and the authorization code. The transfer typically completes within five to seven days, and in most cases the domain's expiration date is extended by one year once the process is successful.

If your .com domain expires, you will usually have a grace period in which you can renew it at the standard rate. Once the grace period ends, the domain moves into a redemption phase where renewal is still possible but requires additional fees. If it is not renewed during this stage, the domain is eventually released to the public for registration. To prevent losing your domain, it is best to enable auto-renewal before the expiry date through Zoho Domains.

Legitimate .com domains are never free because registry fees must be paid to keep them active. Many so-called "free domain" deals turn out to be domain name scams, often tied to mandatory hosting plans, limited ownership, or inflated renewal charges. With Zoho Domains, you get full ownership of your .com domain with clear, upfront pricing and no hidden catches—no scams, no surprises.

It depends on how comfortable you are with your personal information being publicly accessible. Without privacy protection, your name, email address, phone number, and mailing address will appear in the public WHOIS database, which means anyone can look it up. Privacy protection masks this information with proxy details instead. If you're concerned about spam, unwanted solicitations, or simply prefer to keep your contact details private, it's worth considering. Zoho Domains includes privacy protection with your registration.

Absolutely. Once you register your .com domain with Zoho, you can set up professional email addresses (like yourname@yourdomain.com) through Zoho Mail or other email services. Having a custom domain email looks more professional than using a generic Gmail or Yahoo address for your business.

.com is the most recognized and trusted domain extension globally - people instinctively type ".com" when looking for websites. It carries a sense of credibility and professionalism that makes it ideal for businesses. While other extensions like .net, .org, or newer options like .shop can work well for specific purposes, .com remains the universal standard that works everywhere.

Zoho Domains offers straightforward domain management with transparent pricing and no hidden fees. Your privacy is protected by default, with your personal information kept secure and never sold to third parties. The platform includes strong security features like domain locking and DNSSEC to prevent unauthorized access. If you use other Zoho services, your domain integrates seamlessly with tools like Zoho Mail and Zoho Sites, making it easy to set up professional email and build your website from one place. The interface is simple to navigate, and support is available whenever you need assistance with registration or transfers.

If there are any active offers, you'll see them clearly listed in the domain search results during purchase, or on the TLD pricing page. If no offer is shown there, it means no discount is currently available.
