Register a domain with W3Schools to give your space a professional look. All W3Schools Domains are officially hosted by our two registrars, Amazon Route 53 and Gandi, and can be managed directly through your W3Schools account.
Limitations
DNS Database Modifications
- You are not authorized to modify DNS settings, including A records. Consequently, the creation of any subdomains, such as subdomain.yourdomain.com, is not allowed.
Email Hosting
- Email hosting services are not included with our domain registrations. To use a custom email address, such as yourname@yourdomain.com, you will need to utilize a third-party service, as we do not offer this service.
Naming
- W3Schools Domains can have between 3 and 55 characters. Keep in mind that shorter domain names are easier to remember.️
- Domains can only have letters, numbers, and hyphens. You can’t add symbols like $ or *.
- W3Schools Domains don’t support special characters (such as ü, é, or ñ). If your domain contains a special character, it may not display correctly on all browsers.
Registration
- W3Schools Domains offer these TLDs; .com, .net, .org, .xyz, .codes, .digital, and .live.
- Your domain subscription will automatically renew. To avoid re-registering your domain, you must cancel it beforehand.
- You can’t register a domain name that’s already registered by someone else.

Troubleshooting
Registration is Taking Too Long (>72 hours)
This usually indicates that the process will eventually fail due to the reasons outlined in the "registration failed" section below.
Error: Registration Failed
This could be due to incorrect information in the registration form, your card issuer blocking the purchase, issues with the setup of the SSL certificate, or other factors. If the registration fails, the payment will automatically be released in 7 days, initiating the refund process. Please note that it may take a few days for the funds to be credited back to your account.
We recommend attempting to register the domain again or contacting our support team so we can help troubleshoot the issue together.
