# Alibaba Cloud Domain Purchase Guide (Beginner Version)

If you are preparing to build a website, such as a Creght site, company website, or foreign trade independent site, you need to purchase a domain name first. The whole process usually takes about 5 minutes. Reference: [Alibaba Cloud Help Center](https://help.aliyun.com/zh/dws/user-guide/how-to-register-a-domain-name)

## Step 1: Register and Log In to Alibaba Cloud

Go to: [Alibaba Cloud Domain Registration](https://wanwang.aliyun.com/domain)

![Alibaba Cloud domain registration page](https://fsu.creght.com/_assets/site/2066727200882692096/1782134093771__aliyun_domain_registration_01.png)![Alibaba Cloud account registration or login entry](https://fsu.creght.com/_assets/site/2066727200882692096/1782134096036__aliyun_domain_registration_02.png)

If you do not have an account, complete the following first:

- Register with a mobile phone number
- Complete real-name verification

You can purchase a domain only after real-name verification is complete.

* * *

## Step 2: Search for the Domain You Want

Enter the domain name you want in the search box, for example:

![Search for the domain you want to buy](https://fsu.creght.com/_assets/site/2066727200882692096/1782134097687__aliyun_domain_registration_03.png)

- creght.com
- mycompany.com
- abcstudio.cn

Click **Search**.

The system will show the domain status:

- Available
- Registered
- Available for purchase from the current owner

If the domain is available, you can proceed with the purchase.

* * *

## Step 3: Choose a Domain Extension

Common extension recommendations:

| Extension | Use Case |
| --- | --- |
| .com | First choice, widely used internationally |
| .cn | Chinese companies |
| .net | Technology websites |
| .io | AI and SaaS products |
| .co | Startups |
| .xyz | Common for AI products |

For foreign trade independent sites:

> Choose `.com` first when possible.

* * *

## Step 4: Create an Information Template

Before purchasing, you need to fill in the domain holder information.

Click **Create Information Template**.

![Create a domain information template](https://fsu.creght.com/_assets/site/2066727200882692096/1782134099045__aliyun_domain_registration_04.png)

Choose the correct holder type:

- Individual
- Company

![Choose individual or company information template type](https://fsu.creght.com/_assets/site/2066727200882692096/1782134100212__aliyun_domain_registration_05.png)

Then fill in the required information:

- Name
- ID card
- Mobile phone number
- Email

Submit the template and wait for review.

* * *

## Step 5: Submit the Order and Pay

Then complete the payment.

* * *
