Domain Extensions When Buying a New Domain

Kyrios allows users to purchase additional domain extensions (such as .net, .org, or .co) during domain purchase or while managing an existing domain to help protect brand identity.

Who This Is For / When to Use

This article is for Kyrios users purchasing a new domain or managing an existing one who want to secure multiple extensions of the same domain name to prevent brand misuse.


What Are Domain Extension Suggestions?

Domain extension suggestions are optional recommendations shown during domain purchase or domain management that allow users to buy additional versions of the same domain name. These suggestions help prevent competitors or third parties from registering similar domains.

Suggestions only appear when relevant extensions are available and can be added or removed before checkout.


How Domain Extensions Work When Buying a New Domain

When purchasing a new domain, Kyrios displays suggested extensions in the confirmation step before payment.

You can:

  • Select up to three additional domain extensions

  • See the total combined cost before paying

  • Add or remove extensions instantly

  • Complete all purchases in a single checkout


Adding Only Specific Extensions

Users are not required to purchase all suggested extensions. Individual extensions can be added or removed from the list before completing payment.

This allows selective protection based on budget or brand needs.


How Domain Extensions Work for Existing Domains

If a domain is already connected to your Kyrios account, Kyrios may display a “Protect your brand” banner at the top of the domain details page.

Clicking Buy Now opens the same purchase flow, allowing you to:

  • View available extension suggestions

  • Add one or more extensions

  • Purchase them using your wallet balance


Why Buying Additional Domain Extensions Matters

Purchasing multiple domain extensions provides additional protection and consistency.

Key benefits include:

  • Preventing others from registering similar domain names

  • Maintaining consistent branding across the web

  • Reducing the risk of customer confusion or impersonation


Important Notes About Domain Extension Purchases

The following conditions apply to domain extension suggestions:

  • Buying additional domains is optional

  • The feature is enabled by default

  • Suggestions only appear when extensions are available

  • Each extension is billed separately and renews annually
