# Register domain

Create your web3 domain!

Register your **unique** <mark style="color:purple;">Meta Name</mark> by following these steps:

1. [Connect your wallet](/getting-started/connect-your-wallet.md)
2. Search for the domain you want from the home page and open it if it is available
3. Choose how many **Years** to register it for
4. Under **Pay with**, select the BYOC token you deposited earlier in [Deposit tokens](/getting-started/deposit-tokens.md)
5. Click **Approve fees** and confirm in your wallet
6. Once the approval is confirmed, click **Confirm & pay** and approve the second transaction
7. <mark style="color:purple;">Domain registered!</mark> :tada:

{% hint style="info" %}
Registration always takes two transactions: the first approves the fee transfer, the second mints the domain. The total shown excludes network gas fees.
{% endhint %}

Every domain ends in `.mpc`.

To register a subdomain, search for the full name — for example `blog.supercool.mpc`. The parent domain has to exist already, and subdomains are minted **free** in a single transaction, with no duration or token to pick.
