1. Go to the [RNS Manager](https://manager.rns.rifos.org). Type the domain you want to register and click on 'Search'.


2. If it is available click on 'Register', otherwise search for another domain.


3. Choose the amount of years you want to register your domain for and click on 'Request domain'.


> You can extend the expiration time whenever you need to.

4. Confirm the transaction.


5. Wait for aproximately 2 minutes until the domain is requested. A new screen will be prompted.


6. Click on 'Register domain'.


7. Confirm the transaction clicking on 'Submit'


8. Wait for transaction confirmation


9. Done! You now own an RNS domain.


Now, click on 'Admin my domain' and following the [Operation guide](/@ilanolkies/rns-user-guide-operations) you can find a lot of things you can do with your domain.

1. Go to the [RNS Manager](https://manager.rns.rifos.org). Click on **login**, located at the right selector.
