Domain Name Registration

You're free to host with us or any other hosting company you choose. Once you register a domain, we will automatically set the name servers to ours; this means if you also buy hosting with us, the domain will work with no extra configuration needed. A quick name server change is all that's needed to point a domain to a different hosting company.

Not at all. Domains do not need to be hosted, once the domain is registered and in your name, it will be yours to do as you fit for the period of its paid registration. Whether you're just looking to secure domains for future use or protect your brand or business name, a domain name can sit happily unused for many years.

Once you've confirmed your domain name is available and paid for it, it usually takes no more than 24 hours for the domain to be formally registered. We don't recommend you start to use the domain (marketing, printed materials, links etc.) until the domain is confirmed in the WHOIS record. The WHOIS database is a publically available record of all registered domain names, and their owner details.

The details you provide at registration are passed onto the domain name registry, the company that oversees the domain name extension. They in turn place these details into the WHOIS database.

For a variety of reasons, you may not want your details shown in this public record. Like other domain registration companies, we offer a WHOIS opt out service. You can select this at checkout for an extra £2.50 per year. When you pay for the opt out service, we provide our details to the domain registry, and in turn these displayed in the WHOIS database. We still keep your contact details, but only internal to 34SP.com.

We offer a domain WHOIS lookup tool that will show you the details for any registered domain name.

There are hundreds and hundreds of domain name extensions available, and we don't offer every single one. That said, we're constantly adding them when we see demand. If there's a domain you'd like to see us offer, just drop us an email to sales@34sp.com and we will see if the domain can be added to our offering quickly.

Sadly not. Once a registration is confirmed with the registry, it is effectively set in stone for the paid period. As registries will not refund us for a domain cancellation, we in turn cannot refund you. As the service is effectively bespoke for you and you alone, the domain is also not subject to UK law's cooling off period.

Of course. If you no longer need your domain, someone has made you a great offer, or just in the business of domain speculating - you're free to sell it on as you choose. We can't help with this process, but there are many reputable companies who specialise in domain brokerage. Once you've handled the sale process, you can use your control panel with us to change the ownership details of your domain name at any time.

Please note, we do not advise purchasing domain names with another companies existing registered brand or trademark. Domain squatting practices in such circumstances are viewed poorly by both domain registries and regional legislation.

Please note that the products we provision directly, such as all of our website hosting plans, come with a 30 day money back guarantee.

We currently offer more than 250 different domain name extensions. You can check out the complete list of domain registration options on our domain name price page. Please note that to register some domain names, certain requirements must be met. From the pricing page you can review the registration requirements for each of the domain extensions. If you have any questions, or don’t see the domain extension you need listed, just drop us an email to support@34sp.com for assistance.
