Registrations
You can order domains easily by using the
comfortable webinterface
of the Domain Registration System of Knipp.
The only prerequisite is that you must be
a registered customer of
Knipp. Registering is
easy and can be done in just a few steps.
Another possiblity is to order domains
via e-mail application form
The e-mail registration has the advantage that it can be done automatically.
Many customers use robots on their web site that send e-mail application forms to us.
However, using these forms is suited for experts only, since they contain quite a
few technical terms, which are unfortunately necessary. We have prepared a page
with explanations which will help
you to complete the form.
