This is the hack that never went online and why many people never made into real business… they never had a credit card.

The truth about me is that I never ever registered a domain by using a credit card. I don’t even have one. So what’s my secret? A lot of people actually have money in their paypal as a balance but don’t have a credit card so that they can register a domain. If this is your case then this article will save your life.

First of all you’ll need around 10 bucks as a paypal balance to register one. The secret is not actually a secret. It’s called “namecheap”. Sounds familiar? Well, that’s actually one of the biggest domain registers around but it can register a domain of any kind without a credit card verified paypal. You don’t need to have a bank account either. First of all head over http://namecheap.com. You will need an account. Unless you already have one click on the “Sign up for a free account” link under the login form. Then enter some details.

Now, I assume you already have an account and you are logged in. You’ll see this page:

Click on the “add funds to your account” link. You will then be taken to another page. Then click “add funds with paypal”. You will then again be taken to another page where you need to enter the amount to add. You need to add money depending on how much you want to spend. I usually add $9.70 which is enough to register a .com domain. The rest is your information. Just leave it as it is. Then click “proceed to paypal”. You will be redirected to paypal. Then you know the procedure. Just pay and you’ll be redirected back to your account. Under Funds you’ll notice the amount of money you just added. You can now register your domain with the funds available. From the top menu select the register button. Enter the domain you want to register in the search box and you’ll be taken to another page where they’ll confirm if it’s available to register. If it’s available select the “add to cart” button. You’ll be taken to the page where you can purchase the domain with your balance available. You may have a coupon that will cut off the register fee for about a dollar but it’s not necessary though. Then click the “express checkout” button. You’ll be taken to a page where you should select the “buy using the funds available in your account”. Then click the “proceed secure order” and enter your account password as they need it. You will now have your domain registered and added to your account. The whole process shouldn’t take more than 3 minutes.

Congratulations! Now you know how to register a domain even if you don’t have a credit card or bank account.
