Hand Registration
Registering a domain at standard price directly from a registrar — as opposed to buying from another owner.
Hand registration (hand reg) refers to registering a domain name directly at standard registration price from a registrar — as opposed to buying it on the secondary market. Hand-registered domains typically cost $8–$15/year on .com. Finding valuable hand-reg opportunities requires identifying domains that others have overlooked — emerging trends, newly coined terms, or niche industry vocabulary that hasn't been registered yet.
