Why Your Website Needs a Good Domain Name

A domain name is the series of letters that identifies your website instead of displaying a raw IP address. It is the first thing visitors notice, so choosing the right one matters.

Here are three tips for picking a strong domain name:

• Keep it simple — short and memorable wins
• Make it easy to spell — in every language your audience speaks
• Align it with your company name — consistency builds trust

Can You Really Get a Free Domain with Odoo?

Yes. Odoo lets you register a domain name directly from the Website app at no extra cost. Behind the scenes, Odoo uses Gandi as the domain name service provider, but you handle everything from within Odoo's interface.

If you already own a domain name, you can map it to your Odoo website through the documentation. This guide focuses on registering a brand-new domain.

Step-by-Step: Register Your Domain in Odoo

1. Open the Domain Name Tool

From your Odoo website editor, go to Promote > Domain Name. This redirects you to your odoo.com portal account. Log in if you are not already signed in.

2. Search for Your Domain

Type the domain name you want (e.g., uptowntextile). You do not need to include www — that is a subdomain and is not required during registration.

Odoo will show available options such as .com and .net extensions.

3. Select Your Domain

Choose the extension you prefer (.com is the most common) and click to proceed.

4. Fill Out the Registration Form

Complete the required fields:

Field	Example
Company Name	Uptown Textile
Your Name	Your full name
Email Address	Must be valid — you will need it for confirmation
Phone Number	A reachable number

5. Register and Confirm

Click Register. Odoo begins setting up your domain. Check your email inbox for a confirmation message and verify your email address.

After confirmation, the domain becomes available within a few minutes.

6. Verify in Your Portal

Return to your odoo.com portal and navigate to Domain Names. Your newly registered domain should appear in the list. It is now linked to your Odoo website.

Understanding Subdomains

You may wonder about the www prefix. That is a subdomain — an additional string of letters placed before the domain name. While www is the most common subdomain, any series of letters can serve the same purpose. During domain registration in Odoo, you only need the base domain name.

Next Steps

• Verify your domain is active by visiting it in a browser
• Configure any additional DNS settings if needed through your Odoo portal
• Explore Odoo Website's SEO and promotion tools to drive traffic to your new domain

A professional domain name is one of the simplest ways to make your website more credible and accessible. With Odoo, the entire process takes just a few minutes and costs nothing.
