Domain Registration
Domains Purchased Through Jimdo
When a new domain is purchased and registered, it can take anywhere between 24-48 hours for it to be fully active. This process is called propagation. Until the new domain has finished propagating, you will have to access your JimdoPage through the URL username.jimdo.com.
If you purchased a domain through Jimdo, you will need to register it under your name. In order to do this, please log into your JimdoPage - a reminder window will pop up with the registration form for you to fill out.
If you would like to access this directly, you can also find it by going to Settings > Email and Domain Management > Domain Registration. Once you have registered the domain, it will begin to propagate and will be available shortly.
Domain Registration Form
In order to register a new domain name for you, we need to pass on your contact and address information to the domain registrar. When doing this, we have to follow their specifications, regarding, for example, the use of special characters. That is why we created the Domain Registration Form to help you make sure your contact information is in the right format.
Should we need you to review your domain registration data, you'll receive an email with a direct link to the Domain Owner Form. Don't worry if you accidentally deleted the email. Just log in on your Jimdo site and click on Settings on the right side.
Please Note: This form is not available for all domain registrations. If you need to fill out this form, we will notify you by email.
Important: After you've filled out the form and clicked send, the domain registration button will disappear from the Settings panel. That means you won't be able to make any changes after you press send, so make sure the data is right!
Filling Out the Form
The first thing you'll see is a blue box. This box contains all the characters you can use for the domain owner information fields. You'll see that you can use all regular letters and numbers, as well as some special characters. Enter your information into the appropriate fields. Fields marked with "(optional)" are not required.
The last step is to send your information. Click the button at the bottom that says "Register the domain now!".
If one of the fields contains a character which is not allowed, you'll receive an error message. You'll have a chance to make changes and correct the problem.
Please Note: Once you click send on the form, your domain name will be immediately registered. It is not possible to go back and change the domain name. If you want a domain name other than the one you entered when you placed your order, do not complete the form. Instead, contact our Support team.
