BEAR CMS - SUPPORT

What is a domain?

The domain is the name of your website. This is the address where your visitors can find it.

Domains are sold by several companies and their partners worldwide, and anyone can buy one. The most important condition is that the domain you choose is not registered by someone else. This means you cannot register google.com, facebook.com, bearcms.com. Fortunately for you, there are many other free domains that can describe your business or you in a good way. If you sell kitchen furniture, for example, you can register kitchen-furniture-ny.com, kitchen-furniture.eu, etc. If your company is called "Furniture by John" you can register furniture-by-john.com.

Domain registration is very easy. You can even register your own domain through bearcms.com. It is important to remember to renew it every year if you wish to continue using it.

What can I use it for?

A custom domain can be used for one or more websites, email addresses, and other Internet services. If you own the domain example.com you can have:
  • Website at example.com
  • Website at de.example.com (in German)
  • Website at es.example.com (in Spanish)
  • Email address office@example.com
  • Email address john@example.com
etc.

Free .bearcms.com domain

Every Bear CMS hosted website gets a free domain (ends with .site.bearcms.com). Since we own the bearcms.com domain, you can use your free domain only for your Bear CMS website, and not for other services (email, subdomains, etc.). This free domain is perfect for internal use. We recommend a custom one when launching your website.

How to buy a domain?

To buy your own domain through your Bear CMS account, you need to choose a free name, create an order and make a payment. After we confirm your payment, we will forward your registration request to the organization that takes care of maintaining domains of the type you have chosen (.com, .eu, etc.).

Here's what you need to do:
  1. Visit your home page.
  2. Click the "Buy Domain" button in the "Domains" section.
  3. Choose a free domain.
  4. Go through the Bear CMS's terms of service and the domain registration terms.
  5. Fill in your contact information. It is needed by the organization that registers your domain. The Bear CMS team does not save this information.
  6. Add it to your shopping cart.
  7. Select other paid services or another domain registration and complete your order.

What types of domains do you offer?

We offer domains ending in .com, .net, .org, .info and .eu. They are one of the most popular and most recognizable. If you need another type, do not hesitate to contact us to discuss the options.

Which domain type should I choose?

Choose as short a domain name as possible to make it easy to remember.
The most common domains are:
.com - for businesses and personal sites
.org - for organizations
.net - for information networks
.eu - for companies and organizations operating in Europe

Domain renewals

We recommend renewing your own domains at least a few days before their expiration date. This way you will avoid any interruption in their work or higher renewal fees. If you wish, you can renew them even months before, since the remaining period is not lost when renewing. Learn more about what happens if you let your domain expire.
