  4. Next, enter the domain name you'd like to register. Be sure not to use any of the following subdomains: www, FTP, mail. For our example, the domain we're registering is anotherdomainformymtserver.com. See Figure 3 as reference.
    • Domain name: Enter your domain name.
    • Tick the radio button for I want to register this domain.
    • Check the box to Enable domain privacy. For more information about domain privacy, please see: How do I enable domain privacy for my domain?
    • Buy a new server? Tick No to add to an existing server or tick Yes if you want to add this domain to a new server. For this example, we will be adding anotherdomainformymtserver.com to the existing (gs) Grid-Service on this account. Additional information is in the next step.
