Security & Identity (IAM):

You may need certain IAM permissions to carry out some actions described on this page. This means:

you are an IAM user of the Organization, with a policy granting you the necessary permission sets

Requirements:

You have an account and are logged into the Scaleway console
You have entered your credit card information on your account.

Enter the domain name you wish to register in the box.
Click the search icon to verify the domain is available. A selection of available domain names displays.

Important:

Make sure to check your domain name for any spelling mistakes before you place the order.
