Step 0: Avoid steps 1 to 5 by choosing one of our partners.

Activating your domain name can be frustrating for many people. We have partners who will take care of this for you. Sign up for the webhosting services of our partners, sit back, relax, and let them do the work for you...........................or

Step 1: Choose a company host for your website

The host is the company which stores your website files on the internet. You can choose a host from our list of partners, or you can find one yourself. Most ISPs (Internet Service Providers) are able to offer you hosting services as well as more specialised web hosting companies.SARNic does not provide hosting or design services.

You can register your domain name before you choose your host if you want, but you will need to sign up with a host before you can activate your account.

Step 2: Get the NameServer information from your host.

We need important information from your host to activate your account. The information we need is:-

Primary Name Server Hostname eg NS1.XYZHOSTS.COM
Primary Name Server IP Address eg 123.456.78.901
Secondary Name Server Hostname eg NS2.XYZHOSTS.COM
Secondary Name Server IP Address eg 123.456.78.902

Step 3: Pass that information to us.

We will soon be introducing a system where you can change your NameServer information yourself. Until that system goes live, you will need to email us at help@sarnic.hk.com with the NS info. The email must include the following information:-

1) your new NameServer info ( see Step 2)

2) the .hk.com domain name to be activated and

3) the email address of the administrative contact of your domain name

Step 4: Design your website.

You need website files to publish. If you are familiar with making html files, then you can make them yourself. Alternatively you can get in touch with one of our partners who provide webhosting services.

Step 5: Put your web files on your host server.

Last but not least, you need to put your website files onto your hosts server. Your host will give you full details on how to complete this.
