How do I get a domain with web hosting?
An eligible domain is included with EDIS web hosting.
- Register your preferred domain with EDIS or transfer an existing domain to us.

What do I need to register a domain?
Check your preferred domain and add an available name to your basket. Create a customer account, provide your contact details and choose a payment method. Registration is initiated after payment.
Which domains make sense for my project?
Choose a domain name that suits your brand, business or project. Check the main extensions used by your audience. Additional spellings can be useful if customers often type your name differently.
What is cybersquatting?
Cybersquatting is the abusive registration of domains to benefit from someone else’s name or brand. It can infringe third-party rights. Before registering a domain, check whether the name is already protected.
Handle common typos in your own domain
An additional domain covering a common misspelling of your own name can guide visitors to the correct website. EDIS uses edsi.at for a typical transposition. Redirect these variants to your primary domain.
Support your brand with suitable domains
Focus on extensions that suit your market. An Austrian project may benefit from .at, while .com can suit an international offering. Choose additional domains selectively instead of registering as many extensions as possible.
Choose domain variants carefully
Compare short, clear spellings with and without a hyphen. Consider how the name will look in an email address.
Allow for possible new markets and annual renewal costs. Cancel domains you no longer need within the applicable cancellation period.
What role does a domain play in SEO?
Choose your domain for people: it should suit your brand and be easy to remember. A keyword in the domain name alone does not guarantee a better Google ranking.
Helpful content, clear page titles and a usable website matter more than packing keywords into a domain name. Avoid unnecessarily long names and redirect additional domain variants to your primary domain.

How short should my domain name be?
A short, distinctive name is easier to remember, say and share. Clarity matters most: a slightly longer, meaningful domain is often better than an unclear abbreviation.
Should I use a complicated domain name?
Keep your domain name simple. It should be easy to pronounce and spell. This reduces confusion and helps customers find your website again.
Which names should I check before registration?
Before registering, check whether your preferred name affects trademarks, name rights or other third-party rights. Follow the registration rules for the chosen extension. Availability does not automatically mean that you have unrestricted legal rights to use a name.
What are a domain holder’s rights and responsibilities?
A domain gives you usage rights under the relevant registry’s rules and your contract. Responsibilities include keeping contact details accurate and paying fees on time.
Use:
- Use the domain for your website, email or a redirect.
- Transfer the domain under the applicable contract and registry rules.
Responsibilities:
