Domain names: now available to order online
Published on 9 October 2026
From 9 October 2026 you can order your domain name online at CakeHosting. Choose from .com, .eu, .nl, .be and more, from €8.95 a year including VAT. The domain name is registered in your name.
How do you order a domain name?
- Check your name in our domain name checker, or pick an extension on the Domain names page.
- Click Register. The order page opens with your name filled in and checks live whether it is still free.
- Check out. You log in, tick the boxes at checkout and pay.
- We register it. Registration starts right after your payment. Usually it’s done within minutes; sometimes the registry first runs a check or sends a confirmation email, for example for .eu.
How do you link it to your server?
Open your domain in My CakeHosting and go to the Link to server tab. It sets an A record, so your friends connect with a name like play.yourname.com. An SRV record isn’t possible yet. On Minecraft Java, players therefore type the port after the name, unless your server runs on port 25565. In other games, players enter the port the way they’re used to.

How does renewal work?
About 30 days before the expiry date you get a renewal invoice. We only renew once it has been paid. Registering and renewing cost the same; the price follows our purchase price.
What should you know before you order?
Your domain name is registered in your name right after payment, for 1 year. You give your consent for this at checkout, and your right of withdrawal ends as soon as the registration has been carried out. A registration period that has started cannot be cancelled early and is not refunded. If you do not want to renew, cancel the domain name or leave the renewal invoice unpaid: it then expires at the end of the period. The rules are in the terms for domain names.
Already have a domain name?
You can keep it where it is and point it to your server with DNS records. Transferring a domain to us isn’t possible yet; that’s coming later.
