About Domain Names
What Is a Business Domain?
A business domain is the name (or web address) of a business website. It’s how people recognize a website. Websites can also be identified by IP addresses, but most people don’t want to remember a list of numbers. Domain names use ordinary language combined with TLD extensions, such as .com, .net, and .org, and are the human-friendly way to navigate the internet.
Domain names aren’t just used for websites. They are also used in email addresses. For example, Northwest’s domain name is “northwestregisteredagent.com.” That domain is our website’s address, but it is also the domain for our company email addresses such as “support@northwestregisteredagent.com,” “pr@northwestregisteredagent.com,” and more.
We offer domains for about $15 a year. That’s the same price every year, whether you want your domain for one year or ten. Plus, we build your website open-source so you own it right out of the gate, unlike the other guys who hide behind proprietary website builders to keep you locked in.
What You Can Do With the Right Domain
You may not know yet where your business will take you, but we’re betting it’s going to grow and need a website someday. Even if you’re not ready to create your website, locking down your domain name now means it won’t get scooped up by someone else down the road. Once you’ve registered your custom domain, here’s what you can do with it:

Create Your Website
A website needs a web address, after all. When you’re ready to build, we’ll set you up with a custom-made Home page, About Us page, and Contact form—all on a WordPress site that’s yours to keep.

Send Better Emails
You’ll need the tools to start communicating with potential customers, vendors, and investors right away. Help your new business look its best with Northwest’s email hosting—free for 90 days with your Northwest domain.

Build Credibility
Your company’s reputation starts forming the moment you start your business. Securing the right domain, setting up a professional website, and using a custom email address all help your business look more legitimate and trustworthy.
Why Register Your Domain With Northwest?
When you hire Northwest to register your domain name, you’re getting more than most domain registrars can offer. That’s because we’re a multi-generational, family-owned business. We have no debt and no investors. Instead of answering to shareholders, we answer to you. We’re here for your long term success.

Free Domain Privacy
Privacy by Default® meets domain registration. Other registrars charge to keep your personal information out of the public WHOIS database, but not us. Free forever.

Upfront Pricing
Our domain pricing varies but averages around $15 a year and the renewal prices don’t change. Make your cash flow a little more predictable with easy pricing that doesn’t change.

Complete Control
You’re in the driver’s seat. Transfer your domains in or out, export your whole website to another provider if you need to, and cancel any service in just a few clicks.
You’ve Got TLD Options
With so many top-level domains to choose from, you might be wondering which one is right for your business. While we can’t decide for you, we can tell you that most business owners opt for .com—it’s the top TLD for a reason, and you can’t beat that familiarity and trustworthiness. But with so many brands relying on it, it can be tough to find the domain of your dreams with a .com extension.
Luckily, there are many other TLDs in the sea, from classics like .net and .org, to newer contenders like .shop and .co. With hundreds of extensions to choose from, Northwest has you covered.

How Our Domain Service Works
Getting a custom domain name is easy with Northwest. Here’s how it works:
Pick a domain name you love—the best domain names are short, easy to spell, and catchy—then use our Domain Search tool to check its availability. If the domain name is available, register it! If the domain name you want is already in use, we’ll offer you a few alternatives to choose from. Once you’ve made a selection, we’ll guide you through the fast-and-easy process of registering your domain.
When you buy a domain through Northwest, you have the option to add on web hosting, email hosting at your new domain, and business phone service. All free for 90 days, with no contracts or cancellation fees.
Once your domain name has been registered, it’s all yours. You can use it to start your website and set up a professional email address. Your domain will be set to auto-renew, so you have one less thing to keep track of.
Build Your Business Identity (All In One Place)
Your LLC. Your Registered Agent. Your business address. Your phone number. The email address you use to contact vendors and clients. The look and feel of your website. Each of these represent your business to the world, shaping how potential clients and customers view your business. But trying to get these needs met with five different providers can get messy fast.
At Northwest, we bring together all these business essentials in one place. Mix and match our services, try things out for free, and keep only what you love. With every service, you can cancel anytime in just a couple clicks—one more way We’re Just Not Annoying®.

Domain Privacy Included
When you register a domain, your contact information is ordinarily published in the WHOIS database. This database is public. That means your private contact details, including your name, address, and email, are exposed to scammers, spammers, and all-around malicious actors.
At Northwest, we do it differently. We include domain privacy (sometimes called WHOIS privacy by other registrars who charge for the service) for all our domains. That means we’ll use our contact information instead of yours in the public database—protecting your sensitive, personally-identifiable information.

Website Domain Service FAQs
A domain is a unique web address that users type into their internet browser to find a website. For example, our website domain is “northwestregisteredagent.com.” Each domain corresponds to the numerical IP address of a specific website, giving users an easy way to find the content they’re looking for. Domains are composed of a top level domain (TLD) such as .com or .net, and a second level domain (SLD) such as northwestregisteredagent or google.
Your domain is to your website what your address is to your house. Customers will use your domain (like northwestregisteredagent.com) to get to your website.
Having a domain is necessary to set up a website and professional email address. While you can technically run a business without these things, having a professional-looking website and business email makes your business appear established and legitimate and is important for building your brand.
You can’t technically own your domain, but you can lease it. With Northwest, your website domain service is free for the first year and renewable after that for an affordable annual price. Our low-cost renewal rates will allow you to keep your domain name for as long as you want.
We think the ideal timing for domain registration is at the same time as forming your business. That way, you can find out if both your desired business name and domain name are available and lock them both down at once.
