An Internet domain is your address in the digital world. It consists of a unique name and extension, such as .pl, .com or .org. Imagine it as the nameplate of your business or project – simple, easy to remember and user‑friendly. Without a domain name, it would be impossible for your site to be found online.
Your domain name will also be used when setting up your company’s email address. This can be as in our case kontakt@soeasyit.pl. The domain here is just soeasyit.co.uk.
Domains are registered by so‑called registrars, who manage them on the basis of agreements with organizations responsible for managing extensions (such as NASK for .pl domains).
What is the process of domain registration?
Domain registration is a simple but crucial process for anyone who wants to establish an online presence. It consists of several steps:
- Choosing a name: Opt for something short, easy to remember and preferably related to your brand or business.
- Checking availability: You can do this with the tools of domain registrars, such as SeoHost.co.uk. If the domain is free, you can register it.
- Choice of registrar: It is important to pay attention not only to the price of registration, but also to the cost of domain renewal. A detailed price comparison will help you avoid hidden fees.
- Making a registration: After choosing a domain and operator, you pay for a specified period of time – usually one year.

How to renew a domain?
Domains are registered for a specific period of time. If you want to continue using it, renew it before that period expires. Otherwise it will expire and may be taken over by someone else. Renewal is usually done online in the operator’s customer panel.
Don’t forget to set automatic renewal to avoid problems. This way your domain will always be active, without the risk of losing it.
Fair pricing policies of domain registrars
There are operators on the market that offer transparent rules for both domain registration and renewal:
- SeoHost.pl:.pl domains for $9.87 net to start, renewal costs $56.00 net.
- OVH: The cost of registering a .pl domain is PLN 9.89 net, and renewal is PLN 58.99 net.
- Aftermarket.co.uk: a fair approach, the prices of .pl domains are PLN 9.00 net for registration and PLN 55.00 net for renewal, respectively.
These operators offer transparent pricing terms, as well as additional services such as WHOIS privacy protection.
How to get a domain occupied by another user?
Sometimes the domain of your dreams is already taken. However, this does not mean that it is out of your reach. You can:
- Contact the owner of the domain: You can check the owner’s data in the WHOIS database (as long as it is not hidden). Services such as whois.domaintools.com allow you to find out who owns a domain if the data is public.
- Use a domain exchange: platforms such as Aftermarket.co.uk allow you to buy seized domains from their owners.
- Make a buyback offer: Often the owners are willing to sell the domain for the right price.
If the domain expires and its owner does not renew it, you can use backorder services that automatically try to register the domain to your account.
How to check who owns a domain?
WHOIS is a database containing information about domain owners. With its help you can check who registered a particular name. In Poland, you can find relevant data on .pl domains through the NASK website(www.dns.pl). If the data are hidden, you may be able to contact the owner through the domain operator’s intermediary form.
Why choose transparent recorders?
Unfair operators often attract customers with low registration prices, only to surprise them later with high renewal costs. Transparent pricing policies, such as those offered by SeoHost.pl or OVH, for example, avoid such situations and give you full control over your expenses.
Summary
Domain registration and renewal is not just a technical formality, but also a strategic decision. Choosing the right registrar and taking care to renew your domain in a timely manner is the key to maintaining peace of mind and full control of your online address.
