Your domain is your business's address online — it shapes your website, your e-mail and how customers remember you. Here is a practical checklist to follow before and after registering a .mk domain.
1. Pick a name that is easy to remember
- Use your company or brand name. Short names are easier to type and to say over the phone.
- Avoid hyphens, numbers and unusual spellings — they are easy to get wrong when dictated.
- Say the name out loud, and check that a similar domain isn't already used by another business in your field.
2. Check that it is available
The quickest way is the search box on our domains page: you instantly see whether the name is free and what it costs. If the .mk you want is taken, consider a short variation of the name rather than an unfamiliar extension.
3. Choose an extension
For a business working in North Macedonia, .mk makes your location clear. At VAMAS a .mk domain costs 990 MKD per year, and 300+ other extensions are available (.com, .net, .org, .eu, .shop and more). If you plan to serve international customers, consider also securing the .com of the same name.
4. Connect the domain
A domain on its own doesn't show a website. It needs web hosting (or another platform) and correct DNS settings. With VAMAS hosting, the domain connects to our name servers ns1.vamas.mk and ns2.vamas.mk.
5. Set up business e-mail
An address like [email protected] looks more professional than a free mailbox and keeps your communication under your control. Every VAMAS hosting plan includes business e-mail on your domain.
6. Don't miss the renewal
- Put the domain's expiry date in your calendar.
- Use a contact e-mail address you actually monitor.
- Keep your account credentials somewhere safe, ideally a password manager.
