ENS Domain Registration Guide

Registration

Go to ENS, search for a name, and connect a wallet (WalletConnect or MetaMask).

Register for 5+ years in one go — you pay the network fee once. Make sure your wallet has mainnet ETH; an ERC-20 transfer costs around $4 in gas, so fund it once and save round trips.

Check “Set as primary name” to point reverse resolution to the domain. After registration you can add a profile — yourname.eth.xyz will then resolve.

Pointing a Website

Deploy a static site to IPFS and put the CID into your ENS profile. If you want it done quickly, deploy a redirect page:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=https://yoursite" />
  </head>
  <body></body>
</html>

Browsing

Brave / Opera: open yourname.eth directly
Firefox / Chrome: use yourname.eth.limo
