To register a domain name, navigate to Domain > Manage/Register. Towards the bottom of this page, in the Register a domain name section, type the name you'd like to register without the extension (without .com, .net etc.). Click "Check availability" to find out if the name is available for the chosen extension. If the name is available, you can register it by clicking the "Continue" button.

For just ?35/yr, you can get a personalized domain name for your doomby account (ending in .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, .eu, .be). You might be wondering why all these different extensions exist - originally, they enabled people to figure out quickly where an address was located geographically (by country, such as .ca for Canada) or what type of website it was (.com for a company, .org for a non-profit organization, etc.). This isn't always the case anymore, as many geographical extensions are now used for other purposes (.tv, for example). On doomby, the following guidelines apply to choosing an extension:

- .com for community websites
- .net for websites related to the internet or computers in general
- .org for non-profit organizations, community groups, associations etc.
- .biz for a business or company website (related to any commercial activity)
- .info news or information websites
- .eu any website in a European Union member nation
- .be any Belgian website

A domain name is the one people will use to access your website. Choosing a personalized domain name gives people a simple, easy-to-remember way of accessing your website, and should always be related to your website, like www.doomby.com. A domain name has two main parts: a root ("doomby") and an extension (".com"). When choosing a domain name for your website, remember to check that the combination of root and extension you're interested in are available.

Purchasing an ad campaign enables you to advertise your website on doomby member websites. You create your ad text, and select the number of visits you'd like. It's that easy.

Once the campaign is finished, you'll receive a list of detailed statistics concerning your ad campaign (displays and clicks). You can manage your ad campaigns via the Site > Advertise your website > Ad campaign menu.

As soon as it's activated (once payment has been received), you can check the results of your campaign in real-time (number of clicks per day, referring websites etc.) from the Site > Promote your website > My campaigns menu.

Your ad campaign will begin within 1 working day. You'll receive an e-mail as soon as it starts, together with a link to an address where you can follow your marketing campaign's statistics.

Your ads will be displayed on websites throughout the doomby member site network (those sites made with the free version), whose theme is related to your own. They'll also be displayed on the doomby directory.

Ad campaigns don't run for a set length of time but for a number of clicks. We can't tell you how long it will take your displays to run - it all depends on the number of clicks you've chosen, and how appealing your ad text is to others - don't hesitate to change it if it doesn't seem to be working.
