# How to Register and Manage a Domain in the Noiz Console

This guide shows you how to register a new domain name and manage the domains you already have, in the Noiz Console.

**Last reviewed:** 1 August 2026, against the current Noiz client area. It is kept current as the Console changes.

## See your domains

1. [Log in to the Console](/client-area/how-to-log-in-to-the-console/).
2. Click **Domains** in the top menu, then **My Domains**.
3. Your registered domains are listed with their registration and expiry dates and status.

Click a domain to manage it: update its nameservers, manage its DNS records (where DNS hosting is enabled), renew it, or manage its contact details and WHOIS privacy.

## Register a new domain

1. In the Console, click **Domains**, then **Register a New Domain**.
2. Search for the name you want. The results show whether it is available and what it costs per year, for each extension (`.co.za`, `.com`, and so on).
3. Add the domain to your cart and check out. The registration completes once the invoice is paid.

For help choosing a name, see [How to Choose the Right Domain Name for Your Website](/domains-dns/how-to-choose-the-right-domain-name-for-your-website/), and for what a domain ending means, [What Is a TLD (Top-Level Domain)?](/domains-dns/what-is-a-tld-top-level-domain/).

## Point your domain at your hosting

A new domain needs to know where your website lives before it shows anything. The simplest route is to use the Noiz nameservers, **ns1.noiz.co.za** and **ns2.noiz.co.za**, which connect the domain to your Noiz hosting automatically. See [How to Point Your Domain to Noiz Hosting](/domains-dns/how-to-point-your-domain-to-noiz-hosting/) for the full walkthrough, including using your own DNS provider instead.

## If a domain is not working

- **Registered but not resolving:** check the nameservers are set to the Noiz ones above, and allow time for DNS changes to spread (up to 24-48 hours in the worst case, usually much faster).
- **Expired:** an expired domain stops resolving and can be lost if not renewed. Renew it from **My Domains** as soon as possible.

For anything domain-related that you cannot resolve, [contact Noiz support](/getting-started/how-to-contact-noiz-for-support/) with the domain name.
